When you consider a face lift you can always opt for a non surgical option that is making waves. It is known as the silhouette face lift or the thread lift as the face is simply lifted by inserting cleverly placed threads all over the face and then pulling on the threads to lift and tighten saggy face cheeks. The result is that you get a face-lift as the jowls, neck regions, cheeks and eye brow area are all lifted to give you a non-surgical face lift within the hour - as this can be completed in less than an hour.

The doctor you go to must be highly competent and skilled in such a procedure an it is recommended that you arrange it with a Facelift London Cosmetic Doctor on Harley Street who specializes in the thread lift London. Normally this will be a surgeon or a cosmetic aesthetic doctor who regularly works on correcting and fixing the face with non cosmetic procedures such as dermal filler wrinkle injections of Botox Injections and they then incorporate this highly complex soft face lift into the tools of their trade to give the patient beautiful lasting results.

This really is the ideal procedure for women who are not quite ready for plastic surgery but requires a mini facelift as they have aged gradually over the years and are now concerned with the deep set wrinkles that have become apparent in their face. They normally are more worried about specific areas such as the saggy jowls on the face which seem to be getting worse and the saggy turkey neck which gives away their real age. The thread facelift is the perfect solution as it gives results as good as a full blown out facelift but without the surgeon’s knife.

The doctor will assess the patient initially and evaluate the damage and the areas that need to be lifted. Then they will mark out and insert the polymer threads into the skin with needles and the threads are inserted under the deep skin layers. The purpose of going into the skin layers is to ensure the end of the threads then hook onto the layers securely. They are then gently pulled tweaked and adjusted to give the patient a face lift. The polymer threads are safe as they will de-

solve into the skin over time with new scar tissue being formed and this new skin holds the face into place like scaffolding holding a building. This remains when the threads have dissolved.

The silhouette lift results are spectacular and last up to 2-5 years depending on the patients maintenance plan thereafter. There is nominal scaring or swelling but the threads must not be moved for up to 7 days and it is advisable for the patient to take up to seven days off to heal correctly. The whole procedure is super safe and become one of the most popular facelift London treatments as it is done under tiny amounts of local aesthetic and the patient may leave the clinic straight after the procedure has been completed which is normally within the hour.
