Threadlift Face LiftIn fact, the procedure has two components. The first part has to do with the smooth and barbed prolene facelift sutures that are used to "lasso" fixation points on the sagging brow, cheek, jowl and neck. This type of lift is performed under local freezing and the threads are introduced using a hollow bore needle. The second part of the procedure provides additional lift and shaping and uses tiny barbed prolene threads, which are normal surgical sutures modified with little cogs on them. The barbed threads are inserted into the deep fat of the droopy facial elements using a hollow bore needle. The needle is withdrawn and the barbed threads capture the sagging deep face, allowing the physician to lift, sculpt and shape the brow, cheeks and jowl. Finally, the threads are cut short. The lift effects are immediate and perceived recovery times minimal. However, according to doctors performing this procedure, as you age after the Threadlift, you may return to your doctor to have the procedure adjusted or tightened in any, or all of the regions with little downtime. Keep in mind, however, that there are no definite requirements as to what is called a threadlift, so make sure what type of procedure you are getting from your doctor. Some doctors have names such as LoopLift for individual elements of their particular procedure in this category. Also, some doctors suggest that the threadlift procedure can achieve 60-70% of what a real invasive surgical procedure can deliver. After the procedure, some doctors suggest that some additional enhancements and lift effects can be achieved with anti aging procedures such as Pan G MyoFacial, FotoLift, FotoFacial RF or Thermalift, botox, injectable fillers, such as restylane, Microdermabrasion or the SonoPeel.
