Thread Lifts With Experienced Plastic Surgeon, London
Facial lifting & rejuvenation
At Cosmedics we use Silhouette Soft and PDO threads. They are made up of threads of natural collagen fibres that are used to elevate and reposition sagging or drooping areas of the face to achieve an invisible face lift.
They are anchored to the deeper tissues so that the lift is maintained.
These threads can achieve a more effective result for patients where facelift surgery is not preferable and just want a subtle but noticeable result.
Facelift without Surgery
Thread lifts seem like the perfect solution to many with that little lift we do in the mirror however we advise that it is only done by a plastic surgeon for the best results given its similarities to a full surgical facelift.
Treatment areas for threads include:
- Jawline (saggy jowls)
- Neck (so-called turkey neck)
- Cheeks
Trusted Surgical Expertise
The process involves a pre consultation with our surgeon in order to assess your suitability for the treatment when all the benefits and risks will be explained.
It takes about 45-60 minutes It is performed under local anaesthetic in sterile conditions. The threads are carefully placed through the skin and tailored to each person’s requirements. Immediately afterwards there is some swelling and bruising. The swelling can last for a few days and the bruising 7-10 days. There is also some slight puckering of the skin near the hairline that resolves over a few days as the skin settles into its new position.
The thread lifts last for 12-18 months and naturally dissolve with time but are also replaced with some of your own natural collagen which helps maintain the result.
