Face Thread Lift

A face thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses medical-grade threads placed beneath the skin to provide soft tissue support in selected patients. It may be discussed for concerns such as mild to moderate facial laxity, midface support, jawline definition or jowling, depending on individual anatomy and suitability.

Face thread lift consultations are led by Dr Mike Shenouda, Founder and Medical Director of Géniale. Dr Mike is an Australian medical practitioner and cosmetic physician. He is recognised internationally as a trainer and educator in facial thread lifting and advanced facial rejuvenation techniques.

No. A face thread lift is not suitable for every patient. Suitability depends on facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, medical history, risk profile, treatment goals and whether another option may be more appropriate.

Areas that may be assessed include the midface, cheeks, jawline, jowls, lower face, neck, brow and related facial support areas. Treatment planning depends on anatomy, skin quality, tissue support and individual goals.

Your consultation may include discussion of your concerns, medical history, facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, treatment suitability, risks, recovery, limitations, alternatives and expected costs.

If suitable, medical-grade threads are placed beneath the skin at selected points to support soft tissue. Thread type, number, placement and treatment areas are determined after consultation.

Possible risks include temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, asymmetry, dimpling, infection, thread visibility, thread movement, discomfort or the need for further treatment. Risks and aftercare are discussed before treatment.

Procedure time varies depending on the number of threads, treatment areas and complexity. Your practitioner will discuss the expected appointment duration during consultation.

Longevity varies between patients and depends on thread type, treatment area, skin quality, ageing, lifestyle and individual response. Results cannot be guaranteed.

Some patients may benefit from staged or additional treatment, while others may not. This is assessed individually during consultation.

A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses medical-grade threads, including PDO thread lift options where appropriate, to provide soft tissue support in selected patients. A surgical facelift is a more invasive surgical procedure that can address more significant facial laxity. They are not the same procedure, and suitability depends on anatomy, goals, recovery expectations and clinical assessment.

A thread lift and dermal fillers are different treatment options. A face thread lift may be discussed for soft tissue support, while dermal fillers may be discussed for volume-related concerns where clinically appropriate. One is not automatically better than the other. Suitability depends on your anatomy, skin quality, goals, risk profile and consultation findings.

In selected patients, a face thread lift may be discussed alongside other cosmetic treatments, such as skin treatments, regenerative treatments or other non-surgical facial rejuvenation options. Combination treatment is not suitable for everyone and should only be planned after assessment of risks, timing, recovery and treatment goals.

A face thread lift is sometimes discussed by patients searching for a non-surgical facelift, but it is not the same as surgical facelift surgery. Thread lifting may provide soft tissue support for selected patients, while surgery may be more appropriate for more significant laxity. Your practitioner will discuss which option may be suitable after assessment.
