Look Ten Years Younger With A Thread Or Feather Lift
Want to have plastic surgery to look younger but are too scared to go under the knife? Well, a thread lift could be the answer you were looking for. Also known as a feather lift, a suture lift, or a contour lift, this non invasive treatment can effectively tightens and smooth facial skin. It’s an increasingly common form of cosmetic surgery for the face, not just in the US but around the world. Although, suitable for all patients, it is ideal for women of a certain age, whose skin has become a little saggy and wrinkled
The procedure is performed under a local anaesthetic and takes less than an hour and a half. A feather lift involves having barbed threads inserted into the skin with a special needle to allow the skin to be pulled into a more desirable position. Patients should be able to return home just a few hours after the treatment, and return to everyday life after a couple of days.
A thread lift leaves no scars and you should experience very few side effects. You may experience mild swelling around the area of treatment but this passes after a day or two. The effects can last for up to eight years although five years are more common. It’s important to follow a healthy lifestyle and beauty regime in order to prolong the results.
A thread lift costs in the region of $2,000 in the US or around £2,000 in the UK. This may seem like a lot but it compares favourably with the cost of a brow lift or a face lift which cost approximately five times as much.
As with all forms of cosmetic treatment, it’s important to choose a clinic or surgeon carefully when having a thread lift. Using a reputable clinic with a good track record of performing the procedure helps reduce the risk of anything going wrong. And remember, even in non-invasive treatment, things can, and often do, go wrong.
