Stringing Face Lift: A Comprehensive Guide

In the realm of aesthetic and plastic surgery, the quest for non-invasive yet effective facial rejuvenation techniques has led to the innovation of the Stringing Face Lift. This procedure offers an optimal balance of efficacy, minimal downtime, and natural-looking results, making it a popular choice among patients seeking facial rejuvenation. I, Op. Dr. Fatih Dağdelen, with over thirty years of experience and more than eighty thousand successful aesthetic operations, am proud to offer this advanced technique at Dora Hospital in Istanbul.

What is a Stringing Face Lift?

The Stringing Face Lift, also known as a thread lift, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. This technique involves the insertion of biodegradable threads into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. These threads act as a scaffold, lifting the underlying tissues and stimulating collagen production. The result is a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance without the need for extensive surgery.

How Does the Procedure Work?

Initial Consultation and Planning

The journey to a successful Stringing Face Lift begins with a thorough consultation. During this phase, a detailed assessment of the patient’s facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals is conducted. Customized treatment plans are then formulated to address individual needs effectively.

Procedure Steps

• Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort while eliminating the risks associated with general anesthesia.
• Insertion of Threads: Specially designed threads are inserted using fine needles through small incisions. These threads are strategically placed to achieve the desired lift and contour.
• Adjustment and Closure: Once the threads are in place, they are adjusted to achieve the optimal lift. The incisions are then closed, often without the need for sutures.

Types of Threads Used

Various types of threads can be used in a Stringing Face Lift, each offering unique benefits. The most commonly used threads include:

• Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads: These are absorbable threads that stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
• Polylactic Acid (PLA) Threads: Known for their longer-lasting effects, PLA threads enhance facial volume and contour.
• Polycaprolactone (PCA) Threads: These threads offer a combination of lift and collagen stimulation, providing a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Benefits of Stringing Face Lift

The Stringing Face Lift offers several advantages over traditional facelift procedures:

• Minimally Invasive: With no need for extensive incisions, the procedure involves minimal scarring and a faster recovery time.
• Natural-Looking Results: The gradual lifting effect and collagen stimulation result in a natural, refreshed appearance.
• Quick Procedure: The entire process can be completed in about an hour, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
• Versatility: This technique can be used to address various areas of the face, including the brows, cheeks, jawline, and neck.

Potential Risks and Complications

As with any medical procedure, the Stringing Face Lift carries some risks and potential complications. However, when performed by an experienced surgeon, these risks are minimized. Possible complications include:

• Infection at the insertion sites
• Minor bruising and swelling
• Asymmetry or uneven results
• Thread migration or extrusion

It is crucial to follow post-procedure care instructions to minimize these risks and ensure optimal results.

Post-Procedure Care

Proper post-procedure care is essential for achieving the best outcomes from a Stringing Face Lift. Patients are advised to:

• Keep the head elevated for the first few days to reduce swelling
• Avoid strenuous activities and facial massages
• Follow a prescribed medication regimen to prevent infection
• Attend all follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustments if needed
