The modern aesthetic medicine market offers a huge number of rejuvenation methods. However, many of them are still considered controversial, and some even dangerous. Plastic surgeons are often skeptical about facelift threads.
Why this method causes distrust among specialists, as well as what side effects of threadlifting plastic surgeons face, the world-famous plastic surgeon member of ASAPS, ISAPS and SOFCPRE Herve Raspaldo told estet-portal.com readers.
What is the reason for the skepticism of surgeons about threads for facelift
ER: First of all, I have never seen a conference showing results exclusively after threadlifting. Usually it is a combination of threads, fillers, botulinum toxin, etc.
Surgeons don't like threads because we are honest with our patients, we know what we can do with a surgical lift — achieve natural and long-term rejuvenation.
Those who use threads cannot guarantee such a result, since the skin is fixed to a rather labile subcutaneous fat. Any sudden movement, playing sports contributes to the fact that the threads for a lift simply slip off and end up under the skin.

What are the side effects of using threads for a facelift
E.R.: First of all – this is a short term result. Almost all patients after a thread lift are treated in connection with a surgical facelift.
One of the side effects of using — it is the formation of tissue fibrosis and inflammation, which becomes a real nightmare for a surgeon who performs a facelift after a threadlift.
I think there is a future for this industry, but at the moment I don't have much confidence in facelift threads, at least I would not recommend this procedure to my wife or mother.

Threads for a facelift: an honest opinion of a surgeon
The market for modern aesthetic medicine offers a huge number of methods of rejuvenation. However, many of them are still considered controversial, and some even dangerous. Plastic surgeons are often skeptical about the threads for the facelifting. About the side effects of thread lifting and reasons why this method causes distrust among specialists, for the estet-portal.com told the world-famous facial plastic surgeon member ASAPS, ISAPS, and SOFCPRE Herve Raspaldo.
What is the reason for the skeptical attitude of surgeons to the threads for the facelift
Firstly, I tried it and my results where poor and patients disappointed. Secondly, I regularly consult patients who had no result with this procedure. Thirdly, I have almost never seen someone show results only after a thread-lifting operation, without combination’s treatments (fat graft, fillers, eyelid surgery…). Usually, it is a combination of threads, fillers, botulinum toxin and so on.
Fourthly, surgeons do not use so much the threads, because we want to stay honest with our patients. We know what we can do with surgical lifting - to achieve a natural, effective and long-term rejuvenation. Those who use threads cannot guarantee a similar result because the soft tissue is not fixed but just pulled into the superficial or subdermis. There is no fixation and poor anchorage with threads.
What are the side effects of using the facelift threads
First of all, this is a very short-term result. No serious scientific publication, or no acceptable before-after photos can show a result after a couple months.
Practically all patients after the thread lifting may come for the surgical facelift, afetr a while. One of the side effects of using threads is the formation of fibrosis of tissues and inflammation - which becomes a real nightmare for a surgeon who carries out facelift after a thread lift.
I think that this industry has a future but at the moment I do not have confidence in the threads for a facelift, anyway, I would not recommend this procedure for my wife or my mother.
An excellent alternative to the thread lifting is the Endoscopic Face-Lift, which allows the patient to achieve a long-lasting result without significant tissue trauma, nor visible scar. In addition, the endoscopic lift is performed under an enhance control of vision, which makes it more effective and safe.
