Brow Thread Lift

A brow thread lift is a safe and permanent treatment and procedure that gives subtle and natural facelift results without being invasive. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Under an experienced and reliable surgeon this method is very safe with hardly any risks or complications. But if anything happens, it can easily be rectified immediately. It is a revolutionary technique, which uses specially designed threads for lifting. They are made from a clear polypropylene, a material used safely for years in other medical and surgical procedures like heart, brain and abdominal surgery. Also this method is done under local anesthesia so the risks involved in total anesthesia are eliminated.

The threads gently lift the sagging facial tissue in an upward direction. This allows the surgeon to produce a fresh, relaxed and youthful appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of the face. It is less invasive, so the bruising and the swelling are considerably less and so is the recovery period.

This procedure is ideal for men and women in the ages between thirty and sixty and also for those whose skin are not too saggy and don’t want to go in for conventional methods of brow lifts. This thread lift method involves using extremely fine surgical threads, which lift and support the drooping areas of the face, brow and the neck. These threads have tiny barbs, which are evenly spaced, which grasp on and lift the soft tissues. The surgeon gently opens the barbs and then repositions the underlying tissue into a more vertical and youthful look. The end of the thread is knotted and then cut, allowing it to go deep into the skin. They then remain under the skin and provide structure and support and cannot be seen or felt by anyone including the patient. The body does the rest by producing collagen to maintain the lifting effect. No extensive incisions are made so the discomfort is minimal. The procedure takes about an hour.

However once the procedure is over, the patient should not rub his face for a few days. He should sleep on his back, should not contort his face or put any sort of pressure in the area, which has been operated. After about three weeks he can do normal things. Depending upon his work, his tolerance to minor bruising and swelling, he can go to work after three or four days. Women can hide the minor effects with makeup.

There are hardly any side effects and if a certified surgeon does it, the risks are very very rare. The results are almost immediate and the patient does not have to wait. However patients with very heavy sagging or those with too thin faces and hence not enough facial fat are not suitable candidates for this surgical intervention. The cost varies according to the amount of threads used. Generally prices range from $ 4,000 to $ 7,000, depending upon other variables like the fees of the surgeon, medical tests, medicines etc.
