Thread lift in Istanbul
A thread lift places absorbable threads under the skin to lift selected areas of the face without surgery. Discuss the thread type, the treatment area, suitability and follow-up before choosing this procedure.
A thread lift uses threads as part of a proposed facial lifting treatment. Ask about the treatment area, technique and aftercare, and discuss realistic expectations at your consultation.
What to discuss at your consultation
Ask which threads and placement technique are proposed and why. Discuss the expected effect, its likely duration, alternatives and the plan if asymmetry or discomfort develops. A thread lift places absorbable threads under the skin to reposition tissue and stimulate collagen. It is generally considered for mild to moderate laxity and does not replace surgery for more advanced sagging. Ask what material the threads are made of, how many are planned and where the entry points will be. Temporary tightness, dimpling or swelling can occur, so ask for recovery advice and activity limits before you travel home.

Travel and length of stay

What is a thread lift?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure in which absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, neck or brows. As the threads gradually dissolve, they also stimulate collagen production in the surrounding tissue.
Who may be suitable for a thread lift?
People with mild to moderate skin laxity who prefer to avoid or postpone surgery may be assessed. It is less suitable for marked sagging or very thin or very heavy skin. Active skin infection, bleeding tendencies, autoimmune conditions and pregnancy need to be discussed with the practitioner.
Thread lift: What should international patients expect in Istanbul?
After a photo review, the practitioner in Istanbul assesses your face and marks the lifting directions. The procedure is usually done under local anaesthesia in a single appointment. Afterwards you may feel tightness and notice swelling or small dimples, and you receive advice on sleeping position, facial movements and when you can fly.
What is recovery like after a thread lift?
Mild swelling, bruising, tightness and small puckers at the entry points are common and usually improve as the tissues settle. You may be advised to avoid wide mouth opening, facial massage, dental treatment and strenuous exercise for a period. Report persistent pain, visible thread ends or signs of infection.
What results can be expected from a thread lift?
The lift is subtle and temporary, and how long it lasts varies between people. It does not produce the same effect as a surgical facelift. Asymmetry, visible threads or discomfort can occur and may need adjustment, so ask how these would be handled if they appear after you return home.

Planning your treatment
