For many years, plastic surgery and cosmetology have gone hand in hand with each other. Therapeutic cosmetology does not always satisfy the wishes of patients.
And, at the same time, radical elimination of age-related changes is not always possible, and not everyone is morally ready for serious surgical interventions that require a long rehabilitation period. But aesthetic medicine does not stand still and moves forward.
The result is the emergence of the thread lifting method, which has taken an intermediate place between cosmetology and plastic surgery. Thread lifting is a modern, safe, low-traumatic and relevant worldwide method that is used in all areas of the face and body.
Find out in the article on estet-portal.com features of thread lifting from a plastic surgeon, a specialist in aesthetic medicine, Johan Botha.
Features of the thread lifting procedure
J. B: Thread lift − it is an effective method of correcting age-related changes, which is widely used in cosmetic and surgical practice.

Thread lifting brings the desired result, since the effect is visible immediately after the procedure. On average, the rehabilitation period takes from 7 to 14 days, depending on the individual characteristics of the body and the amount of exposure. The threads dissolve in about 8-12 months, and the effect lasts for about two years, but in some patients it can even last up to 5 years, since the duration depends on compliance with the doctor's recommendations during the rehabilitation period, as well as on lifestyle, skin type and structure, etc. .d.
An additional effect is provided by lactic acid, which is part of the threads, and has an independent rejuvenating and revitalizing effect, stimulating the formation of collagen both around the thread and in the tissue.

Approaches to thread lifting technique
J. B: In my thread lift technique I use a product called Light Lift Linea. This is a product that is listed in the Aptos catalog. It is used for thread lifting in the upper third of the face (brow bone), middle third of the face and for thread lifting along the lower jaw line. This is a universal product.
The main differences of thread lifting at the present stage of development of aesthetic medicine
J. B: Even 30 years ago in aesthetic medicine we did not have the opportunity to perform a facelift using threads. Without a doubt, I am sure that thread lifting has been around for over 40, 30, 20 years, but this method has been available in a very limited way for a long time. In South Africa, where I practice, thread lifting has become widely available over the past 15-16 months. Thus, my practical work and the possibility of distributing products opened thread lifting in Africa.

Which procedures do you most often use in your practice
J. B: In my practice, I exclusively use thread lifting, as in South Africa I am the main distributor and motivational trainer for Aptos.
And my main interest – it is to teach aesthetic medicine practitioners how to perform the thread lift procedure.
Do you use additional injection techniques in your practice
J. B: I do not use other injection methods for face correction, including dermal fillers, I only do thread lifting. But most of the doctors I train use combined facelift techniques.
How did you start your practice in aesthetic medicine
J. B: I have been an emergency surgeon all my life, but as time went on I became interested in the possibility of owning my own business. Since being a doctor – that's one thing, but you also have to be a businessman. I started my own business at the age of 13 and decided that my focus would be in the field of aesthetic medicine.
