Thread lift When the face starts to sag and drop some people decide to have a face lift to sort out that problem. Most problems with having a face life screams “I have had plastic surgery” and looks more Hollywood style. • But a thread lift is not anything to do with surgery at all!. Instead using the local Anaesthesia you can have a face life with out cutting away flesh but using a needle and some thread to get the look you want. • The procedure is simple when the area is numbed the doctor will then thread so many barbed structures through the skin to lift the bits of the skin that have dropped ans sagged. The structures are made from an FDA approved material that's called polypropylene but is very smooth and create a suspension. The treatment does not hurt but can take a little time to heal and feel normal. Redness will show for a couple of days but will wear off without pain. A tingling will be felt after the treatment as the numbing will be coming off and returning to normal to help the skin heal.
