Can Threads Break after Thread Lift?

Thread lift is well known as a procedure effective for lifting sagging cheeks, wrinkles around the mouth and jawline. It is popular since it requires a relatively short treatment time as well as no post-operative treatment.

However, some people who plan to have thread lift wonder if the threads break and if it is okay to open the mouth widely after the procedure. Do the threads by any chance break?

Threads don't usually break after the procedure. However, the strength of the threads may be greatly weakened after the treatment depending on the thread type. The effect varies greatly depending on the type of threads used.

Threads used at She's Plastic Surgery are mesh-type ones. They are named The Up Thread Lift. The Up threads pull a wide area of the skin tissue unlike the single ones. Therefore, they bring about more natural lifting effect. In addition, mesh-type thread consisting of 3 single threads is more effective since it can pull and lift a larger area.

After thread lift procedure, you should carefully follow post-operative instructions. Also, pressure and meridian massage on the operative area should be avoided.
