HOW LONG DOES THE THREAD LIFT LAST?
A revitalizing thread lift can last for several years, depending on your age, lifestyle including whether you smoke, sleeping patterns and genetic disposition. An advantage of the dissolving threads is that additional threads can be inserted at a later date if further lift procedures are required.
DOES THE PROCEDURE CHANGE THE FACIAL FEATURES?
Unlike traditional surgical facelifts the Promoitalia revitalizing threads rejuvenate the face without changing your natural features. Facial soft tissues are just repositioned to their original location. After a thread lift you can typically expect to look like you did several years ago.
DOES THE PROCEDURE LEAVE SCARS ON THE SKIN?
When performed by a specially trained doctor, any scars can be avoided.
IS THE PROCEDURE CONSIDERED SAFE?
As there is no cutting of the skin and only a local anaesthetic is used, the procedure is considered considerably less complicated than a full surgical facelift. Your doctor will explain the procedure and answer any questions. Please follow your doctor´s directions to ensure the best results.
DOES THE PROCEDURE NEED TO BE PERFORMED IN AN OPERATING THEATRE?
No, it is not compulsory. The operation can be performed in any equipped theatre or day surgery setting.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO STAY AT HOME TO RECOVER?
There is generally no requirement to stay at home after the procedure; it is a matter of personal choice. However, it is important over the first few days not to stress or put pressure on the treated area. It is suggested to sleep on two or three raised pillows for the first three to four days.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
A qualified, experienced doctor who is trained in and familiar with this procedure will take approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Patients can usually return home after 1 to 2 hours.
WILL I NEED A GENERAL ANAESTHETIC?
No. A Revitalizing Thread Lift requires only a local anaesthetic as opposed to the general anaesthesia used in full face-lift procedures. There is no need for hospitalization, as the procedure can be conducted in your medical practitioner´s suite.
