Cosmetic Surgery For Men

Thread Lifting

Thread lifting is a revolutionary procedure perfect for those not quite ready for the full facelift. It is popular with men in their late forties and early fifties who just want to get rid of the early signs of sagging skin. The great thing about a thread lift is that you can come to the clinic, have the procedure done and go home. This is highly preferred by most men. Because the procedure is less traumatic to the tissues than a full facelift, there is less bruising and swelling, so you are quickly back in the office

Before the procedure

A thread lift is a very specialised technique of face lifting. Not all Plastic Surgeons are able to perform it and it is usually undertaken by Doctors specialising in non surgical procedures or minor operations. A consultation is essential to establish exactly what the thread lift can do for you. Areas such as the neck, jowls, cheeks , brow etc can all be treated with a thread lift.

At the end of the consultation, you should have all of the information you need to make a decision about a thread lift

The Procedure

Thread lifts are usually performed under local anesthetic which means there is a very fast recovery and you can go home very soon after the treatment is completed. The length of the treatment will depend on the number of areas to be treated, but typically it can be done in one to two hours.

Local anesthetic is applied in the areas to be treated and the Doctor then uses a very fine needle to insert tiny threads under the facial tissues. These thread then anchor themselves to the sagging tissues whilst lifting the sagging skin at the same time. There are no scars as with traditional facelifts as there is minimal cutting involved.

Threads have been used very successfully in other medical applications for many years. After a short recovery period you will be on your way home.

After The Procedure

You may experience a little swelling and bruising to the treated area, but much less than a traditional facelift. Its probably a good idea to take a couple of days off work if you can , although this treatment has been called ” The Lunchtime facelift”.

The results are immediate of course and you will see the remarkable ability of the threads to lift and tighten sagging skin.

If you are looking for a quicker fix than a full facelift, or if you feel a full facelift is just not for you, this is the alternative.
