With age, the facial contour loses its firmness due to the aging process of the skin.

If you also noticed it looking in the mirror, that the appearance of your eyes has lost its brightness as time passed and the eyebrows started to go down, the cheekbones became more dropped, nasolabial ditches, the wrinkles between the nose and mouth, started to appear, and the area of the mandibular line has gained a lower appearance, then you can benefit from the threading lift!

All this can be corrected with the suspension wires by lifting and rejuvenating your entire face!

Average Cost of a Thread Lift

The thread lift cost ranges from as low as $50 up to $5,900, but the average price is $2,075 for approximately 15 wires per treatment area.

The average price for a thread lifting just on the face can go from $1,200 up to $1,800. For a neck and jawline thread procedure expect to pay around $800 – $1,000. And as we mentioned above, for your entire face, jawline, and neck thread lifting expect to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $2,500.

Why do thread facelift costs vary?

Of course, there are some factors that influence the final cost, like the experience of the plastic surgeon practitioner or the clinic you chose. As you might know, anything is more expensive in large urban areas than in rural areas, and cosmetic procedures do not make an exception. Also goes for a plastic surgeon; the more reputable and experienced, the higher the price will be. And if you think about it, it’s quite fair as it carries fewer risks and complications.

The price of such intervention varies also depending on the number and type of wires and includes:

• Pre-treatment consultation and digital facial analysis
• Number of wires
• Anesthesia
• Procedure
• Post-treatment consultations

Some locations offer free in-clinic consultations for this treatment, while others don’t.

Is a thread lift worth the money?

The excellent results obtained with this method have led to a drastic increase in the percentage of people who resort to thread lifting treatments, compared to surgeries that are aggressive, come with risks, and have a long recovery period.

Thread Lift Overview

Thread lifting is an innovative rejuvenating treatment that aims to improve facial aesthetics and achieve the effect of facial rejuvenation through minimally invasive techniques to replace classic lifting surgery.

Thread lifting is a safe and convenient alternative to surgical lifting. Designed to be a minimally invasive treatment, it gives remarkable results on the dropped skin on the lower area of the face, cheeks, neck, and eyelids. The treatment offers immediate results, which improve over time, without leaving scars, and the recovery period is just a few days.

The intervention is performed with local anesthesia. The procedure consists of inserting into the skin wires that have the role of lifting the tissue, redefining the facial contour, and immediately providing a rejuvenated appearance that improves over time. The wires are not visible and they can’t be felt. While the threads introduced into the tissue stimulate the formation of new collagen in the skin, circulation in the treatment area is improved and as a result, the skin has a significantly rejuvenated appearance.

It’s a maximum safety procedure as the wires are positioned at a maximum depth of 3-5 mm, so there is no risk of damage to the nerves or blood vessels.

The recovery period is minimal; in a few days, the face regains its natural appearance.

The result of the thread lifting is fast, the procedure itself lasting from 20 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on the area. Although the result is visible immediately after the procedure, the effects are at a real maximum after 2-3 weeks and can last up to 2-3 years.

Benefits of Thread Lifts

Thread lifting does not change the natural physiognomy of the face, but only rejuvenates it by repositioning the compartments of the face. The cheeks rise, the mandibular line redefines, the nasal ditches stretch and the entire face is raised and rejuvenated.

Am I a Candidate for Thread Lifts?

The procedure is addressed especially to people that are over 30 years old, and who want a rejuvenated face with a natural appearance. The results are immediate and have a quick recovery.

The procedure can also be performed for younger people who have a genetic aspect of a “dropped face” and want facial revitalization.
