Recovery Time and Side Effects of Threads
There is minimal to no downtime following a threads procedure. "The patient may have small amounts of swelling at the entrance points of the threads, but almost never bruising," Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Suzanne A. Trott, MD, FACS, says. Bartels adds, "Patients might also experience tiny zingers or twinges caused by the nerve stimulating the nerve endings, but this resolves after a few weeks."
In the days immediately following your lift, you'll need to sleep on your back for a couple of nights with your head elevated. You'll also be required to only eat soft foods and not open your mouth too wide for a couple of days.
Can Thread Lifts Be Removed?
Before committing, many people wonder if thread lifts can be removed after they're inserted. The short answer: no, they cannot be. This is why it's best to start with the option that only lasts four to six months.
Can Threads Be Combined With Other Cosmetic Procedures?
If you want to try threads to stimulate collagen but still want to keep getting your other cosmetic procedures, like Botox and filler, you're in luck. Threads are compatible with both. "And the benefits can be enhanced by heat-based devices like IPL [intense pulsed light], Fraxel, Ultherapy, and ResurFX immediately or shortly after inserting," Bartels says.
How Much Do Thread Lifts Cost?
"From a financial perspective, thread lifts aren't exactly a cost-saving solution," Dr. Doft says. The procedure can range anywhere from $1,500 to $4,500. To determine whether it's worth it, she recommends you consider the lifespan of your threads.
