Non-Surgical Face Lift with Thread Lift

Thread Lift is a non-surgical rejuvenation method that lifts the facial oval by supporting sagging tissues upward with special dissolvable threads (PDO, PLLA or PCL) placed beneath the skin. The procedure achieves both an immediate mechanical lifting effect and, through the collagen production triggered as the threads dissolve, a medium-to-long-term tightening of the skin tissue.

The procedure can be safely applied for cheek sagging, jawline definition, chin, brow lifting, temple and neck areas. During the examination, the facial anatomy is assessed and the thread type, number and placement plan are determined on an individual basis. The aim is to provide a natural and balanced youthful effect without changing facial expression.

The procedure is made comfortable with local anesthetic cream/injection. The threads are placed at the appropriate subdermal planes using fine cannulas and gently tensioned to lift the tissues upward. It takes an average of 30–45 minutes; no stitches or incisions are required. Return to social life on the same day is possible for most people.

Mild tightness, swelling or bruising may be seen in the first few days and subsides quickly. The lifting effect is visible immediately after the procedure; with collagen production, the results settle in further within 3–4 weeks. Although permanence varies according to age, skin elasticity and lifestyle, it is generally around 18–24 months. The effect can be supported with touch-ups or combined treatments (mesotherapy, PRP, fillers) when necessary.

Thread Lift, performed with Op. Dr. Erkan Deniz's advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and personalized planning, is an effective, safe and fast option for those who want to refresh the facial oval, lift chin and cheek sagging, and achieve natural rejuvenation without resorting to surgery.
