Everyone wants to have a lifelong youth, but due to many events or factors, our skin starts sagging, and honestly, no one wants to jump to surgery. Royal Cosmetic Surgery offers minimally invasive thread lift treatment in Islamabad that offers instant lift and skin improvement that too without any long recovery period life as of the surgery.
The question many of our patients ask is, “How long after a thread lift will my face feel normal?” Though the period is short, knowing such details will help you have the best results. Read this blog below to know the answer.
Thread Lift Treatment:
It is a minimally invasive process in which threads that naturally dissolve in the body are used. The threads are inserted into the specially marked sites and are stretched upwards to lift the saggy skin. The excessive visible thread outside the skin is cut off and left to heal, and later on, dissolve into the skin.
How Does It Affect the Face?
Biodegradable threads used during treatment naturally liquefy into the skin, triggering the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving the skin over time. The skin gets lifted, giving your face a sculpted and younger looking look.
How Long After a Thread Lift Will My Face Feel Normal?
Your face will look totally normal when the swelling and bruising go away, which takes 2 to 4 weeks of time and the peak, where you start feeling natural, is when 3 months have passed, because collagen works slowly but gives you the best results. Here’s what happens during the recovery period between that:
First Week: Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, and a feeling of tightness are common. You’ll need to be gentle with facial movements.
1-2 Weeks: Swelling significantly reduces, tightness lessens, and you’ll feel much closer to normal, able to resume most daily activities.
2-4 Weeks: Threads settle, collagen production ramps up, and your skin starts to look more natural as initial recovery ends.
3 Months & Beyond: Full results become visible as collagen builds, improving firmness and texture, with improvements continuing for months.
What Can Slow Down Thread Lift Recovery?
- Smoking or alcohol.
- Poor diet.
- Strenuous activity.
