Threadlifting - Face Lift
Threadlifting is a less invasive form of facelift, suitable for rejuvenating and refreshing the face to turn back the signs of ageing, which can be exacerbated by sun exposure, diet or smoking.
This procedure is ideal for:
- People with a general "saggy" appearance to the face , including wrinkles, lines and loose skin
- Correcting nasolabial folds, expression lines as well as the oval of the face, cheeks and neck
- Targeting any lack of definition around the chin/jawline
- Both women and men from the age of 38/40 onwards
The results are very natural in appearance and the procedure won't reduce your facial expressions. Your face will simply look refreshed and less tired.
Silhouette Thread Lift
At The Hospital Group Ireland, we use Silhouette Thread Lift techniques and threads. This offers our patients the opportunity to get a fresher, brighter looking face with a number of advantages over a traditional face lift:
- Local anaesthetic, not general
- Day case procedure with no hospitalisation
- Shorter recovery time.
The threadlift face-lift technique that is performed in our Dublin day care centre. After a short recovery, the patient can return to rest and relax at home.
Due to the speed of the operation, it has even been called the "lunchtime facelift", though we would advise against returning straight to work! We normally suggest refraining from your usual activities for around 5 days while the initial swelling and bruising dissipate.
About the Thread-Lift Procedure
The Surgeon will make tiny incisions in the temporal region before inserting the "threads" beneath the skin. The threads are anchored in deep tissue to produce a tension which lifts the sagging facial tissue.
The procedure generally takes about 2 hours for the face and 1 hour for the neck, although this does vary depending on the individual and the work agreed.
"Silhouette" threadlift sutures are the most innovative to date. They are approved by the US FDA and have received the CE mark. These approvals are unique in the market.
The threads are made from a biocompatible material which has been used for many years in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery. They are designed to produce a much stronger suspension mechanism than traditional threadlift methods and avoid problems of movement and pain which occurred with barbed sutures. The results are outstanding.
Your Consultation
Your free consultation is a good opportunity to discuss threadlifting surgery with a surgeon. Your surgeon will look at your medical history, listen very carefully to your requirements and give you honest, expert advice on what form of face lift surgery is right for you.
A thread lift can not replace the full effects of a traditional face lift if you are considering this procedure. It is, however, an effective way of postponing a traditional facelift for several years.
As well as threadlifting, The Hospital Group also offer:
- Full face lift
- Mini face lift
- Brow lift
- Neck lift
- Eye bag removal
- Eye lid lift
Your Surgeon will advise on the benefits as well as the risks of undertaking facial surgery and will outline what to expect at the hospital, explaining the procedure in detail and the recovery/healing process as well as aftercare.
We take the consultation stage very seriously at The Hospital Group and provide this service free and without any further obligation, so that you can be fully informed about your cosmetic surgery options.
During your medical consultation your surgeon will point out that the skin will continue to age. It is important that you understand that the ageing process will not stop after a facelift. However, non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment such as BOTOX can be combined with a facelift for an improved overall result.
