Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure in which medical-grade threads are inserted under the skin to physically lift and secure sagging tissue. According to the Cleveland Clinic, threads come in various materials and lengths and serve two purposes: they provide a lifting effect and stimulate collagen production through the body’s natural healing response, resulting in firmer skin. Commonly used dissolvable threads (e.g., PDO-based) break down and are absorbed over time, so the results are not permanent but last approximately 1 to 3 years, after which the procedure can be repeated. Recovery is relatively quick; swelling and bruising may last up to about 5 days, and most patients can return to their daily routines soon after. However, it is recommended to postpone strenuous exercise—which could cause the threads to loosen—for about 2 weeks. The duration of results and the recovery process vary significantly from person to person. In rare cases, allergic reactions, bleeding, infection, thread pulling, or unevenness may occur; therefore, it is advisable to confirm the type of thread, duration of results, and plans for repeat procedures during your consultation.
