What are Suture Lifts used for?
Suture lifting (also known as thread lifting) is a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure that addresses sagging skin concerns on the face. The procedure involves the insertion of medical-grade sutures or threads under the skin to lift and tighten areas such as the jaw, neck, and lower face. Providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The procedure helps to stimulate collagen production, allowing for ongoing improvements in skin texture and firmness.

Minimally Invasive: Suture lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require extensive surgical incisions, making it less traumatic to the skin and tissues compared to traditional facelift surgery.
Stimulates Collagen Production: Suture lifting promotes the natural production of collagen, a protein that improves skin elasticity and firmness. This leads to ongoing improvements in skin quality over time.
Natural-Looking Results: Suture lifting provides natural-looking results, avoiding the over-tightened or artificial appearance associated with some surgical procedures.

Medical-grade threads or sutures are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads may have small barbs or cones that anchor themselves within the skin, providing lift and support.
Some patients may experience minor discomfort, pressure, or a pulling sensation as the threads are positioned and tightened. However, this is generally well-tolerated.

Expectations:
• After the procedure, patients may experience some bruising, swelling, or mild discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days to a week.
• Over the 4 weeks immediately following the procedure at least 50% off the correction achieved in the procedure disappears (somewhat less barbed sutures).
Downtime:• The full effects of suture lifting become more noticeable as collagen production continues over several weeks to months.
• Patients typically achieve a more lifted, tighter, and rejuvenated appearance.
