Get answers to common questions about Thread Lower Face Lift.

Ideal candidates have mild-to-moderate lower-face laxity, good overall health, and realistic expectations. During consultation we assess skin quality, bone structure, and discuss alternatives like fillers or surgery to determine suitability.

Results generally last 12–24 months depending on thread type, placement, and individual aging. Collagen stimulation continues after absorption, and maintenance or adjunctive treatments can extend and enhance longevity.

Procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia. Dissolvable threads are inserted to lift tissues, tension is adjusted for symmetry, and mild discomfort or swelling may occur during recovery.

Most clients experience minimal downtime, returning to light activities within 24 hours and normal routines in several days. Expect mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for up to two weeks while healing progresses.

You’ll notice an immediate lift from thread support, while collagen remodeling continues for weeks to months. Final contour improves as swelling subsides and tissues firm for a natural-looking result.

Risks include bruising, swelling, temporary asymmetry, infection, or rare thread migration. Choosing an experienced provider and following pre/post-care instructions minimizes complications; we review all risks during consultation.
