Here’s What I’m Often Asked About Thread Lifting
The procedure involves numbing the area with injections of local anaesthetic. These injections can sting for a short time. The procedure itself, once the numbing injections are complete, is painless.
Yes. You have to be prepared for some bruising. You are more likely to bruise if you are on anticoagulants (blood thinners) aspirin, omega 3 fish oils, antidepressants.
Yes for a few days. A cold pack can be used to help this.
Because of the risk of swelling & bruising it would be wise to have no big social events planned for at least 2 weeks after the procedure. Vigorous exercise and over exposure to sun and saunas should be avoided for 2 weeks. Sleep on back for 3-5 nights.
No- it is not advisable to have threads if you have an autoimmmune condition (eg Rheumatoid arthritis, Crohns,and other conditions of the immune system). This is because of the unpredictive nature of the body’s reaction to the threads eg formation of granulomas, allergic reactions. It is not advisable to have threads if you are on long term anticoagulants due to the risk of bleeding, bruising and haematoma formation. It is not advisable to have threads if you are unwell with an illness or infection.
Swelling, bruising as discussed. Skin depressions and irregularities from the barbs of the threads. These can be massaged out or left alone to resolve. Nerve pain or parasthesia (pins and needles) can occur due to the traction of the thread. This usually settles.
Infection (avoided by using a sterile surgical field), allergic reactions (1 in 500 risk resulting in the necessity of thread removal). Thread extrusion (avoided by correct placement of thread).
This depends on your body’s reaction and handling of the threads, but 18 months on average with some lasting 2 years.
