Quick Q&A
What is a thread lift (French lift) and how do the threads lift the face?
Bidirectional cones or cogs on the threads anchor tissue under the skin along upward vectors, while the new collagen network forming around each thread is intended to provide longer-term support.
Who is a thread lift suitable for, and is it used for jowls or a drooping brow?
It may suit moderate midface descent, jowling or brow ptosis, and people who prefer to consider an incision-free alternative to surgery. Suitability is decided after a physician examination.
How many thread lift sessions are needed in Nişantaşı, and how long do results last?
Treatment is a single session of about 45 minutes. Results last 18–36 months on average, and this varies from person to person.
When can I get back to daily life after a thread lift, and how does the procedure feel?
Mild tenderness may be felt for 2–3 days, so you may wish to plan around it. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia; how it feels varies from person to person.
