Thread Liftin Fort Myers

With today’s increased emphasis on personal appearance and the rise of video conferencing platforms, it can feel more important than ever to look and feel your best. When the signs of aging, such as lines and wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging skin, begin to reveal themselves, patients have several options for rejuvenation.

A thread lift in Fort Myers is a popular solution for elevating sunken facial contours and renewing a youthful glow. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure that serves as an excellent alternative to a facelift and can be performed in less than one hour.

What is a thread lift?

A thread lift uses dissolvable polydioxanone, polylactic acid, or polycaprolactone sutures to reverse age-related skin sagging and improve the facial contours through gentle lifting action. The threads break down within the body after around 6 months and are perfectly harmless.

The thread lift process triggers fibroblast cells to regenerate collagen reserves, smoothing and revitalizing the skin. Collagen is that all-important protein in the body responsible for the supple, hydrated complexion of youth. With age, collagen gets depleted, producing hollow-looking midface areas and a loss of definition.

PDO threads come in smooth or barbed options, and our team will determine the best approach for your situation after conducting a thorough consultation and skin evaluation.

Who is an ideal candidate for a thread lift?

Patients who are concerned with the encroaching signs of aging but who are not yet ready or willing to undergo a surgical facelift will be pleased with the results of a thread lift in Fort Myers. The treatment is ideal for anyone wishing to correct facial sagging in the cheeks and jowls, poor skin texture, and wrinkles, lines, and creases.

As with other cosmetic procedures, a good candidate for a thread lift will be physically and mentally healthy. They will have a realistic and positive outlook towards their treatment, based on a private, in-depth consultation with Dr. Garramone and his team.

What can I expect from recovery?

As compared to a surgical facelift, the recovery after a thread lift is far more manageable and rapid. Minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness can be expected for 24-48 hours, but most patients are able to return immediately to their normal routines.

Take care to avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching your face for the first week after your thread lift. Otherwise you risk disturbing the threads. It’s also important that you avoid tightening your lips for the first few weeks, as you might do when drinking through a straw or smoking. Vigorous workouts and trips to the sauna, steam room, or hot tub should be postponed for 10-14 days.
