Introduction

Introduction to Thread Lifts

Thread lifts, also known as PDO thread lifts, are a non-surgical facelift option that can help restore the shape and appearance of the face. These procedures are performed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ramtin Kassir, who is a highly experienced and respected practitioner in this field.

Thread lifts involve inserting fine, absorbable threads into the skin using a thin needle. These threads lift and tighten sagging skin and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What Are
Thread Lifts?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are fine, absorbable sutures made from a synthetic material called polydioxanone. They are used in medical and cosmetic procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin and stimulate collagen production. Thread lifts, a non-surgical facelift procedure in which the threads are inserted into the skin using a thin needle, are commonly used.

PDO threads have many advantages over traditional surgical facelift procedures. They are minimally invasive and do not require general anesthesia. Patients can typically return to normal activities soon after the procedure with minimal downtime. There is also a lower risk of complications.

PDO threads are also a versatile treatment option. They can treat a wide range of issues, including wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of volume in the face, neck, and body. They can also improve skin texture and tone.

It’s important to note that PDO thread lifts are a temporary solution. The body eventually absorbs the threads, and the results last 6-8 months. The procedure can be repeated if needed to maintain the desired results.

What Are the Advantages of Thread Lifts?

There are several advantages of using PDO threads for non-surgical facelift procedures:

  • Minimally invasive: PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a thin needle, making the procedure less invasive and painful than traditional surgical facelifts.
  • Low downtime: Because the procedure is minimally invasive, patients can typically return to their normal activities soon after the procedure, with minimal downtime.
  • Stimulation of collagen production: PDO threads can help stimulate collagen production in the skin, improving elasticity, firmness, and overall health.
  • Customizable: PDO threads can treat a wide range of issues and can be customized to suit each patient’s unique needs and goals.
  • Cost-effective: Compared to traditional surgical facelift procedures, PDO thread lifts are generally less expensive and have a lower risk of complications.
  • Long-lasting: The results of PDO thread lifts can last up to 6-8 months, and the procedure can be repeated if needed to maintain the desired results.
  • Safe and reliable: PDO threads are made from a synthetic material called polydioxanone, which is commonly used in medical procedures and has been proven safe and reliable.

*It’s important to note that PDO thread lifts are not suitable for everyone. To determine if this procedure is right for you, consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Ramtin Kassir.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Thread Lifts?

Ideal patients typically range from their early 30s to late 50s, experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity in areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, or brows. Those who notice early signs of sagging or a loss of definition but aren’t ready for a full facelift can benefit from thread lifts’ refreshed appearance. Patients should have good skin quality, with enough collagen and elasticity to support the threads’ lifting effect. The procedure is especially popular among those who desire instant results with gradual collagen stimulation, a discreet upgrade that whispers luxury without shouting intervention. During your consultation, Dr. Kassir or one of our providers will assess your anatomy and skin quality to determine if a thread lift is the best solution for you.

What to Expect on the Day of Thread Lift Treatment

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in our New York office, after which Dr. Kassir will carefully mark the treatment areas, mapping out the thread placement to achieve the most natural, flattering lift. The dissolvable PDO threads are then inserted beneath the skin using fine cannulas, lifting and repositioning the tissue while stimulating collagen production. The entire process takes about 45 to 60 minutes, with little to no downtime. You’ll leave our office with an immediate yet discreet lift, the result that makes friends wonder if you just returned from vacation or switched to a better skincare routine. Any mild swelling or bruising is minimal and easily concealed, allowing you to return to your daily routine the very next day.

Recovery

Dr. Kassir will provide detailed post-procedure instructions to aid with your healing, including recommendations for sleeping in an elevated position, avoiding strenuous activities, and refraining from excessive facial movements during the initial recovery period. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness may occur around the insertion points for a few days, after which most patients can resume light activities—the majority of swelling resolves within a week. Results will gradually improve over the following weeks as the threads stimulate collagen production.
