Procedure Overview

A Thread Lift is a non-surgical procedure where temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle yet visible lift in the skin.  Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, our specialist surgeon simply suspends the skin by stitching up portions of it, this causes the skin to be pulled back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face.

Threads are not only ideal for lifting the skin, threads are also combating age by provoking the body’s healing response, causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to the treated areas.  This is important due to the vital role collagen plays in the ageing process.

Otherwise known as ‘non-surgical facelift’, thread lifting is fast becoming a preferred alternative to facelift surgery, due to its effectiveness and non-invasive nature. Threads are inserted through a tiny tube and can lift most parts of the face, including the forehead, cheeks, jowls, jawline and neck, getting rid of sagging, loose skin and creating a tighter, firmer appearance.  For most of our patients, the biggest advantage of this low risk, affordable procedure is the reduced recovery time compared with that of surgical facelift.

Look great, be confident.

Cosmetic Procedure Screening Questionnaire

It can be used as a screening questionnaire to tell whether you might have BDD.

1) How often do you do you deliberately check your feature(s)? Not accidentally catch sight of it. Please include looking at your feature in a mirror or other reflective surfaces like a shop window or looking at it directly or feeling it with your fingers.
2) To what extent do you feel your feature(s) are currently ugly, unattractive or ‘not right’?
3) To what extent does your feature(s) currently cause you a lot of distress?
4) How often does your feature(s) currently lead you to avoid situations or activities?
5) To what extent does your feature(s) currently preoccupy you? That is, you think about it a lot and it is hard to stop thinking about it?
6) If you have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on your relationship with an existing partner? (e.g. affectionate feelings, number of arguments, enjoying activities together). If you do not have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on dating or developing a relationship?
7) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your ability to work or study, or your role as a homemaker? (Please rate this even if you are not working or studying: we are interested in your ability to work or study.)
8) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your social life? (with other people, e.g. parties, pubs, clubs, outings, visits, home entertainment)
9) To what extent, do you feel your appearance is the most important aspect of who you are?
