The V Shape Natural face lift with threads -is it a better and cheaper way to keep you looking Naturally Younger ?
Imagine Dr. Summers, a pioneer of Threads Face Lift procedure in the early 90’s discussing his innovative idea over a lunch break — “What if we pull the strings underneath the skin to restore firmness and reverse the facial sagging skin, much like the puppets strings Mechanism?“
Sounds simple, however before the procedure gained its popularity it had its ups and downs. Back then only One type of threads were used to contour the face and reduce laxity in the skin, now almost thirty years later medical practitioners are using 2–6 types of threads for better lasting results. The old types of permanent suture material caused inflammation and scarring, and may be the central reason for its bad reputation.
When Gwyneth Paltrow endorsed threading back in 2007- it was not yet FDA approved creating some negative echoes when published in her lifestyle blog “GOOP”.
A decay later the Natural European Aesthetics concept is rapidly spreading all over the world.
The Technique
Anti aging equals Anti Gravity
During the procedure threads are injected into the face , they have special hooks that allow to pull the skin up to the desired position, much like the person who manipulates the Puppet by moving its strings. The physician has control over the amount of tightness of the threads- the more skin is pulled up the tighter the contour looks, and that is exactly what women over fourty are obsessing over- Getting rid of these drooping skin.
Dr. Boukouvalas, The director of Aesthetics Plastic Surgery in Metropolitan Hospital in Athens with four clinics across Greece says : ” Nothing can replace the results of a well done face lift, and therefore define the jaw line as well as a face lift does. But for those who don’t have the time and resources to undergo surgery, threads lifting is certainly an option.
We are meeting the growing demands of our customers by expanding our practice to non invasive procedures such as threads lifting, here we can offer the expertise of skillful Plastic Surgeons— after all Its a delicate procedure which requires special attention to details”.
According to recent publication Thread lift is rapidly becoming one of the hottest trend in Aesthetic procedures closing the gap between plastic surgeons, and Aesthetics doctors.These Aesthetics innovative technologies are setting the stage for a real competition because they are using minimal incisions at a reduced costs and need less recovery time.
Back to the Procedure — Few types of threads may be injected to the cheeks, jaw area as well as neck.They stimulate production of collagen, the protein that gives our skin its youthful appearance.The procedure is done by a plastic surgeon or an Aesthetic doctor.
Free floating threads are inserted beneath the skin under a local anasthetics, and pulled up into place creating a lift that last between 1–2 years. Fixed Threads — is a more radical procedure, which involves removing of excess skin for best results -it lasts 2–4 years. All types of threads, whether they are floating or fixed improve firmness and tightening of the surrounding tissues, and increase blood supply which improves total look.
Recovery time
