Types of Thread Lift Treatments by Area

Jawline Thread Lift

Jawline thread lift works by tightening sagging jowls and enhancing the definition of the jawline. This is achieved through the insertion of threads that stimulate the skin to naturally lift and firm up, resulting in a more sculpted, youthful appearance.

This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate sagging in the lower face. It is a non-invasive alternative to more invasive procedures like facelifts, offering natural-looking results for those seeking subtle improvements to their jawline definition.

Cheek & Mid-Face Thread Lift

Cheek and mid-face thread lift focuses on lifting and restoring volume to the cheeks, helping to smooth out hollows or sunken areas. Threads are placed in the targeted regions, encouraging collagen production that rejuvenates the skin and enhances overall facial structure.

This treatment is suited for individuals experiencing early signs of ageing in the cheek area or those seeking facial contouring. It can deliver a more lifted, refreshed appearance, restoring youthful volume without requiring surgery.

Eye Thread Lift (Fox Eye Lift)

Eye thread lift, often referred to as a Fox Eye Lift, lifts droopy eyelids and creates a more almond-shaped appearance. Threads are carefully inserted around the eye area to provide a natural, lifted effect that opens up the eyes, making them appear more awake and refreshed.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for those with hooded eyelids or individuals whose eyes appear tired or heavy. It can enhance the overall eye contour, offering a more youthful and alert look without the need for more invasive procedures.

Neck Thread Lift

Neck thread lift targets loose skin on the neck, helping to tighten and smooth the area. Threads are inserted to stimulate collagen production, firming sagging skin and rejuvenating the neckline for a more youthful appearance.

Ideal for individuals showing early signs of "turkey neck" or loose skin on the neck, the neck thread lift offers a non-surgical way to tighten and lift the skin for a smoother, firmer appearance.

Nose Thread Lift

Nose thread lift involves inserting threads to lift and reshape the nose bridge and tip. The threads help to enhance the nose’s natural contours, creating a more defined appearance without the need for surgery. This treatment provides a subtle enhancement, allowing for improvements in nose shape and structure.

It is suitable for individuals with flat or droopy noses looking for more defined changes. The procedure lifts and defines the nose in a way that appears natural and proportional to the rest of the face, all without invasive surgery.

While both nose fillers and nose thread lifts improve the nose’s shape, they differ in technique. Nose fillers are injectables that add volume to specific areas, correcting asymmetries or enhancing shape.

On the other hand, a nose thread lift uses threads to physically lift and reshape the nose, offering a more structured lift and often addressing concerns like a droopy nose tip or flat bridge. Generally, nose thread lifts offer longer-lasting results than fillers and are ideal for those seeking more noticeable changes.

Nose Thread Lift vs. Rhinoplasty: Which Option is Right for You?

When deciding between a nose thread lift and rhinoplasty, it’s essential to consider the recovery time, cost, and longevity of both procedures’ A nose thread lift is ideal for those seeking a subtle, natural enhancement without the lengthy recovery and higher cost associated with surgical rhinoplasty. With minimal downtime and immediate, though temporary, results, a nose thread lift is a non-invasive way to improve nose contour.

Rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is permanent but comes with a longer recovery period, higher cost, and potential surgical risks. For individuals looking to refine their nose shape without committing to a permanent change, a nose thread lift is a good option.

FAQs

How is eye threadlift different from other face threadlift treatments?

Threads for undereye rejuvenation do not “lift” like threads used for other areas and so it is technically not really a “threadlift”. In this instance, threads are inserted under the eye for support and to stimulate collagen production.

Eye threadlift reduces wrinkles, loose skin, and the bulginess of eye bags.

What to expect during threadlift treatments?

The procedure takes about 30 minutes depending on the areas treated. It is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment where threads are inserted about 5mm under the skin with a thin yet flexible cannula. Local anaesthetic is applied before treatment, making it a comfortable experience.

Post-treatment care

You may feel some discomfort, swelling or experience some bruising at the treatment site. These generally resolve within one week.

How long does a nose thread lift typically last?

The effects of a nose thread lift generally last between 12-18 months, depending on factors like individual metabolism and the type of threads used. Results can be maintained with touch-up sessions.

Are nose thread lift treatments suitable for me?

A nose thread lift is ideal for those seeking subtle, non-surgical enhancement of the nose shape. It’s well-suited for those wanting a higher or more defined nose bridge without the downtime of surgery. Consulting with your doctor can determine if a nose thread lift aligns with your desired outcomes and facial structure.
