Assessment
The clinician assesses degree of sagging, skin thickness and tissue, and explains whether threads, energy treatments or surgery would serve your goal. Ask what change is realistic and how it compares with the alternatives.

Thread lifts: non-surgical, not effortless.
A thread lift places dissolvable threads under the skin to lift and support sagging tissue, usually along the cheeks and jawline. It sits between energy treatments and surgery in effect and downtime. Whether it suits you is the clinician's judgement; how it fits your dates is planning, and the first weeks need more care than many visitors expect.
What the consultation covers
Laxity, tissue and expectations.
Threads in outline
Threads differ in material, structure and how they anchor. Ask what type is proposed, how many, where they would be placed and how long the effect is typically described as lasting.
Risks and correction
Ask about asymmetry, dimpling, visibility of threads and how each would be handled, and what the clinic's policy is if a correction is needed after you leave.
The first weeks
Plan for care, not just marks.
- Clinics commonly describe swelling, tenderness and a pulling sensation for days to weeks.
- Instructions often limit wide mouth opening, chewing hard food, facial massage, sleeping face-down and intense exercise for a period.
- Ask when flying is appropriate and how to manage the first days at your accommodation.
- Ask when the result can be judged and how follow-up works from abroad.
Reading the estimate
Threads, count, area, follow-up.
Thread lifts are usually quoted by number and type of threads and by area, with anaesthesia, aftercare and follow-up sometimes separate. Ask for each line and for the correction policy in writing.
Useful answers
Questions before you contact us.
How long does a thread lift last?
Clinicians describe results lasting months to a year or more depending on threads, tissue and age. Ask what they expect for you.
Is a thread lift painful?
Clinics describe local anaesthesia during treatment and tenderness afterwards. Ask what to expect and how it is managed.
Can I fly a few days after a thread lift?
Ask the clinic. Instructions on movement, pressure and care apply in the first weeks, and the clinician confirms what is appropriate for you.
What affects the cost?
Thread type and count, areas, anaesthesia and follow-up. Ask for a written estimate and compare clinics on the same lines.
