Consultation
During the consultation, Dr. Truong will assess your facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and your specific aesthetic goals. He will then explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions you might have, and devise a personalized treatment plan. From pre-treatment preparation to post-procedure care, Dr. Truong and his team will be with you every step of the way.
Treatment Options
Alternatives to a Thread Facelift could include treatments such as Thermage, Ultherapy, or a traditional facelift. During your consultation, Dr. Truong will discuss these options and help you determine the best treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.
What happens during a thread facelift?
Your comfort is paramount during the Thread Facelift procedure. To begin, a local anesthetic will be administered to the treatment area. Then, using a fine needle, Dr. Truong will introduce the threads beneath the skin. As they are strategically positioned, they create a lifting effect. You may feel a mild pulling sensation during the procedure. Afterwards, you may experience some minor swelling or bruising, which should subside within a few days.
Recovery
Post-procedure, you may experience minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness, which usually subsides within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week. Over the next few months, as collagen production increases, you'll see a continuous improvement in skin texture and firmness.
Post-Operative Care
After your Thread Facelift, it's important to avoid vigorous activities and excessive facial movements for a few days to allow the threads to settle. It's also recommended to sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on the face. This care is crucial to ensuring the threads stay in place for optimal lifting and contouring effect.
Addressing Mild To Moderate Issues
A thread facelift, also known as a thread lift, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin. It's often considered a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift and can address a variety of mild to moderate aging-related issues, including:
- Sagging Skin: The primary purpose of a thread lift is to "lift" sagging skin. This can be particularly effective for sagging cheeks, jowls, and necks.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: While a thread lift is not primarily designed to address fine lines and wrinkles, the lifting effect can help to smooth out some of these lines, particularly those around the lower face and neck.
- Volume Loss: As we age, we naturally lose volume in our face, which can lead to a hollow or sunken appearance. A thread lift can help to restore some of this lost volume by lifting and tightening the skin.
- Skin Laxity: A thread lift can improve skin laxity by providing an immediate lifting effect, as well as promoting collagen production over time, which can help to improve skin elasticity.
- Contouring: Thread lifts can also be used to enhance the contours of the face, such as the jawline and cheekbones.
- Brow and Eyelid Drooping: Some practitioners use thread lifts to address mild to moderate drooping of the brows and eyelids.
Other Recommendations
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore facial volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance facial contours, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Botox
Botox is a neurotoxin injected into specific muscles to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the muscles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.
Skin Peels
Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and peel off the outer layers, revealing fresher, brighter, and more evenly toned skin underneath.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and promoting collagen production for improved skin texture, tone, and firmness.
Thread Facelift FAQs

The Thread Facelift procedure typically takes about one to two hours to complete, depending on the individual patient and the extent of the area being treated.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, and the procedure itself involves very small incisions.
Recovery time for a Thread Facelift is typically much shorter than for a traditional facelift. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Dr. Sony Truong will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
A Thread Facelift can provide a noticeable lift to sagging skin, helping to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, restore lost facial volume, and enhance facial contours. Results are typically more subtle than a traditional facelift, but can still provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
The results of a Thread Facelift can last anywhere from one to three years, depending on the individual patient's skin condition and aging process. Over time, the sutures will naturally dissolve and be absorbed by the body.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with a Thread Facelift. These may include infection, bruising, swelling, tenderness, and asymmetry. Dr. Sony Truong will discuss these potential risks with you in detail during your consultation.
