Nothing can get you down more than the downward sagging of your face and neck. It would take so little — just a fraction of an inch of lift — to restore your youthful contours. But you don’t have the money or time for a full-on facelift with its months of recovery.
Luckily, you can now literally lift your face without surgery. A thread lift raises and suspends the skin on your mid-to-lower face, which improves your jowls and neck, too.
At Enrich Family Practice, we believe that everyone should look as young as they feel — or as close to it as possible. Our experts, Kelly Burrows, APRN FNP-C, and Lee Ann Garza, FNP, recommend minimally invasive rejuvenation methods. That’s why we offer thread lifts at our office in Odessa, Texas.
How can you spring into a new you with a thread lift? Read on to find out how this simple procedure can make you feel like you again.
A full-fledged facelift is an involved procedure. In addition to undergoing the painful surgery, you have to consider downtime and recovery — you’re bruised and swollen for weeks to months — and arrange for help around the house until you heal.
Contrast that with a thread lift. We perform a thread lift in the comfort of our own offices. No need for a hospital or general anesthesia. We cleanse and numb your skin, then insert the dissolvable threads.
The entire procedure only takes about one hour. In fact, one of the nicknames for a thread lift is a “lunchtime lift.”
Even better, you don’t have to spend weeks hiding from the public or changing bandages. You don’t even need stitches. You can see the change immediately after your procedure.
If you improved your health and waistline with the use of GLP-1 agonists, you may now be dealing with loose skin on your face that’s aging and distressing. Again, you don’t have to undergo the surgeon’s knife to remove that excess skin.
Instead, a thread lift gives you an instant rejuvenation. It lifts and suspends your skin. The threads, which are barbed sutures, also stimulate collagen that improves the quality of your skin and makes it thicker and tighter. No cutting needed.
Let’s face it. Surgical rejuvenations are wildly expensive. A thread lift is much easier on your wallet.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates the average cost of a surgical facelift as being more than $11,000. The average cost of a thread lift is about $2,000. Yours may be significantly less or could also be more, depending on the degree of sagging you have. We customize the procedure to your needs.
With your savings, you can add even more spring to your step with a new pair of shoes or a new outfit. Or get an expensive haircut: Everyone will think your new look is due to the salon, not the med spa.
With a thread lift, you don’t just look younger; your skin actually begins an internal rejuvenation process. The presence of the threads stimulates your body’s natural healing response, which includes the creation of new blood cells and the production of fresh new collagen and elastin.
As the threads dissolve, they’re replaced by collagen that keeps your skin plump, tight, and suspended. This improvement continues for months after your thread lift.
Did you know that some health conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, preclude you from qualifying for a facelift? These conditions wouldn’t stop you from qualifying as a thread lift candidate, because of the procedure’s simplicity and lack of general anesthesia.
A thread lift lasts for up to three years. However, you may be able to keep your rejuvenation fresh for longer than that by combining your thread lift with other treatments that improve your skin’s strength and elasticity.
For instance, microneedling further boosts collagen production. You might also want to add Botox® to smooth out wrinkles on your upper face, or fillers to erase deep wrinkles, creases, or eye troughs.
