Advantages of a Thread Lift Over a Face Lift
As people age, the skin on their face begins to lose its elasticity and can result in sagging, wrinkles, and a tired appearance. Many people turn to cosmetic procedures to combat these signs of aging, with facelifts being one of the most popular options.
However, facelifts are invasive procedures that are very expensive, require anesthesia, and can lead to significant pain and prolonged downtime. But in recent years, a new non-invasive option called the thread lift has emerged.
Dr. Ruthie Harper, MD in Austin, TX offers the revolutionary new MINT™ thread lift. This minimally-invasive anti-aging treatment offers many of the same benefits of a surgical facelift – without the expense, pain, complications, and long recovery period of surgery.
In this article, Dr. Ruthie Harper, MD will discuss the benefits of a thread lift over a surgical facelift.
What is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses a dissolvable suture material made of sugar to lift and tighten sagging skin. During the procedure, threads are inserted under the skin, which are then pulled to lift and tighten the skin. The threads are then anchored in place, and the excess thread is trimmed away. The entire procedure can be completed in under an hour, and there is minimal downtime.
Benefits of a Thread Lift Over a Facelift
1. Thread Lifts are Non-Invasive: A thread lift is a non-invasive procedure, while a facelift is an invasive surgical procedure that requires general anesthesia. The risks associated with general anesthesia are higher than those associated with a thread lift.
2. Thread Lifts are Non-Surgical Procedure: A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure, which means there is no anesthesia required, and the risk of complications is significantly reduced. The procedure is minimally invasive, and there is minimal pain or discomfort during the procedure.
3. No Downtime with Thread Lifts: A thread lift requires minimal downtime, and most people can return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. There may be some swelling or bruising in the days following the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days.
4. Thread Lifts Offer Natural Looking Results: A thread lift provides natural-looking results that can last up to two years. The threads used in the procedure are made of biodegradable sugar material that is naturally absorbed by the body over time. As the threads dissolve, collagen is left behind and the skin is left looking firmer and tighter.
5. Thread Lifts are Less Expensive: A thread lift is a less expensive option than a traditional facelift. The cost of a thread lift can vary depending on the number of threads required, but it is generally less expensive than a facelift.
6. Thread Lifts are Customizable: A thread lift is a customizable procedure that can be tailored to meet the needs of each patient. The number of threads used can be adjusted to provide the desired level of lift and tightening, and the procedure can be performed on specific areas of the face or the entire face.
7. Thread Lifts are Very Low Risk: A thread lift is a low-risk procedure, and the risk of complications is minimal. Some people may experience minor bruising or swelling after the procedure, but these typically subside within a few days.
