What should I pay attention to after a thread facelift (treadlift)?
Thread lifting, or non-surgical facial and neck suspension therapy, is advised to avoid swimming, showering, or going to the sea for 3 days after the procedure. For 3 days, you will be wearing a facelift facial corset all day to prevent the threads from breaking and to ensure proper settling. In the following week, we continue to wear the corset while sleeping.
To prevent the development of local infections, we recommend systemic antibiotic treatment for 3 days. Pain relievers and anti-edema medications may be used as needed. When washing your face, do so gently for 5-7 days and avoid massaging the area.
After the thread lift, you may feel tension in the treatment area. This is due to the threads not having dissolved yet. This sensation will decrease after about 10 days and will completely disappear within 3 weeks as the threads dissolve.
The positive effects of the procedure will start to be visible immediately, with maximum results appearing in the third week. As it stimulates collagen production, it is possible to see increased liveliness and brightness in the skin, along with a reduction in the visibility of fine lines. During this process, it is beneficial to consume plenty of fluids and take oral vitamin C.
On the day of the thread lift procedure and during the first week afterward, I do not recommend alcohol consumption as it can cause swelling and bruising. Smoking should also be minimized.
Who should not undergo thread lifting?
It can be applied to men and women of any age who are generally healthy. However, it is contraindicated in the following situations:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
- Those with an active infection in the treatment area
- Individuals with neurological or psychological disorders
- Those with severe heart or kidney diseases
- Individuals with autoimmune diseases
- Cancer patients
In summary, thread lifting is a procedure that does not require anesthesia and leaves no scars, with effects lasting at least 2 years. It is a treatment method used for individuals who prefer not to undergo surgery or in cases where surgical facelift is not necessary.
