Thread Lift

Overview

A thread lift uses dissolvable barbed sutures to lift mild sagging with far less downtime than surgery — a popular non-surgical option.

Methods & types

• PDO/PLLA barbed threads
• Placed along vectors to lift and support
• Often combined with skin treatments

Who it’s for

• Mild to moderate sagging
• Wanting minimal downtime
• Not ready for a surgical lift

Recovery

• Minor swelling/bruising for a few days
• Back to routine quickly
• Effect appears over weeks

Approximate cost

USD 1,000–3,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Results are temporary (often ~1–2 years)
• Less dramatic than surgery
