How Long Will a Thread Lift Last?

How Does a Thread Lift Work?

At Manhattan Aesthetics, we use NovaThreads®, made of a medical-grade material called polydioxanone (PDO). These threads contain tiny barbs, so when placed under the skin, they will stay in place and allow for lifting and tightening of the skin. This can improve firmness and smoothness in areas including the jawline, cheeks, forehead, and brows. By placing the threads within the hairline or around the ears, the skin can be lifted without leaving any marks. 

What is Recovery Like From a Thread Lift?

You may have minor swelling or some bruising in the areas where the threads were placed. You can still go back to all of your normal activities. However, you should avoid exercise or other physically strenuous activities for several days. We also recommend that you not rub your face or sleep on your side until the threads have become established. 

Am I a Good Candidate for a Thread Lift?

The best candidates for a thread lift have mild signs of aging, including lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. This procedure is ideal for those who want to see lifting and smoothing of the face without the downtime of a facelift. By avoiding surgery and the related downtime, a thread lift fits into almost any schedule and does not require you to miss any work or activities.
