Face Lift – Suspension Method with Thread

FACE LIFT – THREAD SUSPENSION METHOD

Today, surgical procedures have been replaced by minimally invasive procedures, which are small surgical procedures performed under outpatient clinic conditions without anaesthesia. There are two reasons for this. The first is that patients cannot spare enough time for themselves during the operation and subsequent recovery process, fear of the operating theatre and their desire for rapid recovery. Secondly, surgery can only be performed by plastic surgeons. Other branches and general practitioners who are not plastic surgeons and even medical aestheticians who are not doctors but do this job with a certificate can perform face lift method with rope. Advertisements are mostly made in this direction.

The thread face lift method started to develop over time, and we plastic surgeons started to apply this method to patients who wanted this method. The important thing here is the quality of the rope and the use of enough rope. The ropes can be 1, 1.5, 3.5, 7 years old according to their melting process. More than one rope should be thrown by looking not only according to the problem area of the patient but also according to the general face. It is important to support the collapse of the lower face in the transition to the upper face or not to leave the upper face collapsed while lifting the lower face, and to approach the face in general, such as the condition of the eyebrow. Patients also have a prejudice against ropes. The formation of granuloma under the skin of the previously used threads, ie subcutaneous hardness after excessive reaction to the threads, was common. The mechanism of action of the current ropes is that the rope has the effect of carrying the tissue by using the rope with awns. Previously used threads, sometimes still used for support purposes, reacted under the tissue to harden the tissue and recover the sagging tissue, but sometimes when this reaction was too much, patients could have problems. Nowadays, the life of the rope has been extended by combining the awned ropes used by plastic surgeons with silicone. The lifting effect on the tissue is prolonged. Biologically, the reaction of the rope in the body has also decreased.

Face hanging with ropes is not as effective as surgery. They are temporary solutions. But the effect starts very quickly and daily life can be returned quickly. It can be done even during a lunch break. Surgery has a recovery period, there will be oedema and swelling and it takes 2 weeks for this to pass. In addition, surgery and anaesthesia have their own problems and complications. Recycling is difficult. But the effect is stronger and lasts longer. Surgery is performed on every patient, but not every patient can undergo facelift with thread. If a rope is thrown to a patient with excessive sagging on the face, the tissue may pile up somewhere. Instead of lifting the face, it can be done without fat injection to the upper face. The lower face will rise upwards on its own.

When the rope is made, if the patient does not like it or if there is an infection in the rope, the result is reset when we remove the rope. Only the doctor’s labour and the patient’s financial loss. Recyclable. What is important here is the level of risk the patient is willing to take. If you are the type of person who wants to take risks and finish everything in one go, I recommend surgery. If you do not like to take risks too much, if your fears are too much and you want minimal but multiple things, I recommend you the rope suspension method. In the meantime, the fat removal method can be combined with the rope sling. You can consult your plastic surgery doctor for this.
