A Non-Surgical Lift with Lasting Results

If you’re noticing early signs of sagging skin but aren’t ready for a surgical facelift, a thread lift may be the perfect solution. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Orange County, we offer minimally invasive thread lifts that deliver natural-looking, refreshed results — all without the downtime of surgery.

What Is a Thread Lift?

A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to gently lift sagging skin on the face and neck. These threads are strategically placed under the skin to reposition tissue, enhance contours, and encourage collagen production. This treatment can be ideal for patients looking to refresh areas like:

  • Cheeks
  • Jawline
  • Jowls
  • Neck
  • Eyebrows

You’ll enjoy an immediate lift, with continued improvement as your body produces new collagen in the months following the procedure.

How Does It Work?

Performed under local anesthesia, your thread lift in Orange County will take about 30 to 60 minutes. Small entry points are made to guide the threads under the skin. Once in place, the threads are gently pulled to lift tissue, and any excess thread is trimmed and left to dissolve naturally over time. These sutures — typically made from PDO (polydioxanone) — are biocompatible and safe. Tiny cones or barbs along the threads secure them in place while stimulating collagen growth.

Benefits of a Thread Lift

  • Immediate lifting and contouring
  • No general anesthesia or significant downtime
  • Stimulates natural collagen production
  • Minimally invasive with minimal scarring
  • Customizable for targeted areas
  • Natural-looking, refreshed results
  • Can extend results of previous facelift or neck lift

Who Is a Candidate?

A thread lift is ideal for patients between the ages of 35 and 65 who have mild to moderate skin laxity. It’s also well-suited for those who have had facial surgery in the past and want a touch-up without going under the knife again.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are in good overall health
  • Have mild sagging in the midface, jawline, or neck
  • Want subtle, natural enhancement without surgery
  • Prefer minimal downtime and quick recovery

What to Expect After Treatment

Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 72 hours. Some swelling, bruising, or tenderness is normal and typically subsides within a few days. You’ll notice immediate lifting and firming, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen production increases. Results can last 12 to 18 months depending on your skin and lifestyle.
