How to sew threads into the face

The desire to maintain youth and be attractive at all times was natural for women. There were and are many ways to do this. Today there is a very effective and efficient method for such purposes.

This is a facelift using thread lifting. It is distinguished from all others by its durability and a wide selection of materials for its implementation. Today we will talk about what types of cosmetic threads for facelifts there are, how much they cost, what is best to choose to solve your particular problem, and what reviews clients leave about them.

Why do you need thread lifting?

Modeling the oval of the face using thin fibers is a relatively new type of cosmetic procedure. Something between traditional skin care methods and complex plastic surgeries. Over time, the facial structure begins to lose its elasticity and attractiveness, and unaesthetic sagging and deep wrinkles appear.

Compound

There are three types of lifting fibers. The first type is non-absorbable, they are made from platinum and gold. Partially absorbable and Teflon ones are also used, which dissolve over a very long time.

Previously, lifting bases were made using noble metals that have low chemical activity and are not rejected by the body; these were gold and platinum of the highest standard.

Now they are being replaced with more modern implants. They are made from lactic acid, caprolock and polypropylene and are well accepted by the body.

There are also biodegradable threads, which contain polylactic acid, the effect of which will be noticeable for about 2-3 years, as well as non-degradable ones, created from polypropylene, this composition lasts no more than 4-5 years. Rehabilitation lasts about 10-14 days, but within 30-40 days active facial expressions should be restrained.

Fastening methods

According to the method of fastening, facelift threads are divided into two types. The first type is fixed, they are attached near the temples or in the area of ​​the ears. They differ from stand-alone ones in that they not only eliminate sagging skin, but actively model the oval of the face.

The second type is autonomous, which do not have fixation and cannot provide strong tension to the skin, but simply eliminate sagging and give a certain elasticity.

Texture

1. Smooth. This type is used when working with the area of ​​the cheeks, cheekbones, for lifting the chin and modeling the eyebrows. To fix them, it is necessary to make incisions up to 5 millimeters. Suitable for patients aged 45-50 years.
2. Notched threads. The main feature of such implants is the presence of special hooks that help to secure themselves in the tissues, clinging like hooks. They are fixed in the subcutaneous layers at a depth of about 4–5 millimeters using micro-punctures.

There are several varieties for lifting different parts (hammock threads for correcting the chin and neck or spring threads, which are designed to shape cheekbones, cheeks and nasolabial folds).

Spiral threads. They allow you to achieve a fairly strong effect of modeling and tightening the oval of the face, this ensures the ability of the frame to take its previous shape after tension.

Spiral threads for face lifting are used both in combination with various types and separately. Their length is usually 40 or 50 mm.

Features of the use of absorbable and non-absorbable

Soluble threads will completely disappear after a few months, having fulfilled their function. Today they are produced using polylactic acid and polydiaxanone.

However, you should not expect particularly high results from biodegradable materials, as from insoluble ones. After all, they do not have a rigid fastening and are placed by a cosmetologist close to the surface. Such an implant dissolves within 5-6 months, and new connective tissue begins to form in this place, which subsequently performs a lifting function.

This process activates collagen synthesis and the skin looks more youthful and elastic. The result lasts for a year or two, after which it is recommended to repeat the procedure.

Such threads are installed using local anesthesia; the entire procedure takes about 1 hour. After installation, small bruises and some swelling may remain for approximately 7-9 days.

The polylactic structure of the implant is suitable for patients with thin skin without excess subcutaneous fat; they are also recommended for people with minor age-related changes.

Non-absorbable threads are very thin and have increased strength, usually made of polypropylene. They are fixed in the area of ​​subcutaneous fat, where they form a supporting frame and make it possible to effectively tighten the skin, maintaining the integrity of blood vessels and nerve endings.

The first such threads were smooth, and special return knots were made for fastening. Later they began to produce them from polypropylene with cones and special notches. Non-absorbable implants are carefully inserted under the skin and fixed in certain inconspicuous places.

How long does the result last, before and after photos

Depending on the type of fibers used, it can last from 2 to 10 years.

The longest lasting effect is provided by a frame made of gold or platinum; it lasts up to 8-10 years.

The most popular varieties in cosmetology

APTOS

APTOS Needle - used primarily in surgery, as they are made from non-absorbable fibers and are tightly fixed in tissues using micro-incisions.

Typically, this type of lift is performed in the area of ​​hair growth on the head for people with severe age-related changes, when other cosmetology products have little effect.

Non-absorbable or surgical - these are APTOS threads, which are produced using polypropylene, which are fixed in the subcutaneous fat layers.

The skin receives a good and high-quality frame. Threads can be completely smooth in structure, as well as with various notches and notches.

This type of lifting is effective in areas of pronounced sagging skin - these include nasolabial folds, facial contours, the area of ​​drooping eyelids and double chin. The results from a facelift last for quite a long time – up to 5 years.

Mesothreads

The name 3D mesothreads was given because of a certain property of the invasive “guide” needle, which allows you to create full three-dimensional formation of tissue in all areas and directions. This property of the needle makes it possible, when forming contours, not only to produce high-quality tissue tightening, but also to simulate the contours of “youth.”

Such materials make it possible to create high-level relief.

The high elasticity of the mesothread gives the fabrics a good “springy” result, which increases significantly with the proper installation of several threads on one area of ​​the face.

The created volumetric frame adapts well to tissues and does not cause rejection, allergic reactions or discomfort.

Gold and platinum

Gold and platinum fibers are classified as non-absorbable. They usually take root without problems and are well tolerated by the body due to their low chemical activity.

Such materials were pioneers in thread lifting. But even now such implants are very popular.

Silhouette Lift Soft

The method of forming an oval using this type of retainer makes it possible not only to very quickly, but also quite successfully and without risk to health to eliminate unwanted age-related changes. This technique can only be compared with a full facelift using plastic surgery.

This tightening technique is one of the most modern trends in cosmetology.

It allows you to eliminate signs of age-related tissue changes efficiently and in a short time, while side effects are practically eliminated.

The recovery and rehabilitation period is also significantly reduced.

This method was first tested among cosmetologists in the United States and Spain and has now become widespread throughout the world. The use of Silhouette Lift involves fixing non-absorbable threads made from particularly strong compounds that are highly biocompatible; they do not cause an allergic reaction and are well tolerated by the body.

Average prices

The cost of a thread lifting procedure depends on various factors: the type and shape of the threads and their quality, the material from which they are made, the country and level of the manufacturer. Also, the cost of a face lift with threads includes the services of a cosmetologist, rent of premises and other expenses of the medical center. Their number and location on the body are also of great importance.

1. The average price of a procedure using Aptos Needle for tightening the soft tissues of the face and chin is 50,000-60,000 rubles.

Materials from the Aptos Vizage series will cost more and this is approximately 70,000-80,000 rubles.

Conclusion

A thread lift has a lot of advantages, but despite this, we should not forget that this is a medical procedure that must be approached with the utmost seriousness. To perform a facelift, you need to contact only a highly qualified specialist., since in most cases complications arise from the latter’s incompetence.

With age, the skin framework begins to break down. Cosmetologists call this manifestation gravitational ptosis.

Such destruction is usually caused by disruption of the production of collagen and elastin during natural processes in the body. The skin becomes heavier and begins to sag. At this stage, the woman observes in the mirror her cheeks hanging down, bulges under her eyes and deep nasolabial folds.

How to stop age-related changes and restore elasticity to the skin for many years? Under such circumstances, reinforcing with gold threads can restore youthful youth and clear contours of the face.

General overview

Tibetans used gold to treat ailments as early as the 10th century. In those days, their medicine was considered the best in the world, so any doubts about the effectiveness of gold disappear by themselves.

Facelifts using gold threads have been around for more than a century, but decades later, the procedure has not lost its popularity; on the contrary, it is considered one of the best ways to regain your former youth.

The gold thread is the thinnest wire (24 carats, the highest standard). Its diameter does not exceed 0.1 mm.

When performing a facelift with gold threads, we often hear the expression “reinforcement.” Experts use this term because the procedure is similar to strengthening a structure with steel reinforcement.

The threads are implanted under the skin so that a hidden golden mesh appears on the face, which will support the muscle tissue and help smooth out small and deep folds.

As a result, the skin becomes smooth and velvety, giving youth and beauty for many years.

Indications

The procedure is performed for the following indications:

Deep folds and wrinkles appear on all areas of the face and décolleté. In this case, slowing down the aging process is the natural desire of any woman.
Improving the structure and relief of the dermis. Problem skin is characterized by an abundance of pimples and acne on the face. Such manifestations do not pass without a trace.

Stretched pores, bumps in the cheek area, on the forehead and in the temporal area cause many problems. The pores become clogged, some of them undergo inflammatory processes, which has a detrimental effect on the structure of the skin as a whole.
Pigmentation disorder. Pigment spots on the skin appear from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.

This process can also occur due to hormonal and age-related changes. As a result, a woman experiences discomfort and embarrassment when unwanted freckles, brown and red spots appear on her face, which she wants to get rid of immediately.

9. chronic diseases in the acute phase;

Advantages

Today, several types of fibers are used for lifting. In addition to the noble metal, which has low chemical activity and is not rejected by the body, specialists use fibers based on lactic acid, synthetic thermoplastic polymers and polycaprolactone.

Such implants are also well accepted by soft tissues and tighten the skin, however, the result lasts no more than 4 years.

The main advantages of gold threads include:

1. the precious metal is capable of significantly increasing blood circulation in all layers of the dermis and starting metabolic processes from the inside;
2. gold serves as a barrier to the formation of free radicals;
3. Precious metal mesh retains a long-lasting effect;
4. reinforcement has a positive effect on the color of the surface layer of the dermis, removes acne and pimples;
5. During the procedure there is no need for general anesthesia;
6. The implantation of threads made of precious metals is carried out to a depth of about 3 mm, which eliminates injury to blood vessels and makes the procedure safe.

After use, a number of positive changes occur:

1. the elasticity of the dermis increases;
2. fine and deep wrinkles are smoothed out;
3. the skin structure is rejuvenated;

The desired changes are noticeable 14 days after implantation of the fibers. However, the pronounced effect develops gradually, approximately 4-7 months.

During this period, the threads, like a hibion ​​mesh, will slowly be enveloped in muscle tissue.

Flaws

Despite the fact that gold threads have a lot of advantages, they also have some disadvantages:

1. in some cases, patients experience complications after the procedure;
2. facial correction with gold fibers is not always compatible with medications and other methods of cosmetic rejuvenation;
3. high cost of modeling;

Reinforcement technology

Any cosmetic procedure that eliminates skin defects requires consultation with a specialist.

The cosmetologist will collect the client’s medical history, identify possible contraindications, and talk about the risks, effectiveness and possible complications.

Next, taking into account the client’s wishes, the specialist determines the areas of influence, counts the number of gold fibers and measures their length.

The patient, in turn, must undergo certain studies, namely:

1. clinical blood and urine analysis;
2. blood biochemistry.

The procedure itself is divided into several stages:

1. The client is seated in a special chair so that he takes a position that is comfortable for himself and the specialist.
2. The skin is cleaned of possible contaminants and cosmetic residues and treated with an antiseptic.
3. Immediately before the procedure, local anesthesia is performed.
4. Marks are made on the skin in the form of lines that will serve as guides for the subcutaneous introduction of fibers.
5. Throughout the session, the specialist stitches the facial skin in different directions so that a kind of mesh of gold fibers appears in the structure of the dermis.
6. To insert the thread, miniature holes are made on the surface of the skin using a triangular needle.
7. At the end of the session, the skin is again treated with an antiseptic substance, and the punctures formed are sealed with a bactericidal plaster.

Watch a video of the technique of performing a facelift with gold threads.

Rehabilitation

If there are no complications or problems during the procedure, rehabilitation after a facelift lasts no more than 3 days. As a rule, this is how long it takes for the swelling on the face to go away.

During this time, the patient must stay in the clinic under the close supervision of doctors. As soon as the consequences of the operation disappear and the primary result is visible, you can return home.

After a facelift, cosmetologists recommend following a number of rules:

1. while sleeping, take a horizontal position, avoiding contact of your face with the pillow (4-5 days);
2. refuse massage manipulations, photoepilation and other cosmetology sessions for 60 days;
3. daily lubricate the places where the threads are implanted with a special ointment or gel-like substance (prescribed by a specialist);
4. try not to open your mouth wide when talking, laughing and eating;
5. do not visit saunas, solariums and baths for 2 months.

If you strictly follow all the rules and do not neglect the recommendations, the risk of complications will be minimized, and the recovery period will pass without discomfort and pain.

Possible complications

As a rule, bruising and redness after the procedure cannot be avoided. They appear due to weak walls of blood vessels and their accidental damage. This complication disappears on its own after 14 days.

Infrequently, a patient may have problems with facial expressions. Usually, this occurs due to improper implantation of the thread and the nerve being affected. That is why it is important to choose a competent specialist who is familiar with human anatomy.

If low-quality gold threads were used for lifting or the specialist violated the procedure for implantation and poorly observed sanitation standards, there is a risk of unwanted side effects:

1. infection and inflammation of soft tissues;
2. protrusion of gold threads above the surface of the skin;
3. minor skin retractions near the golden frame line;
4. the appearance of folds, sagging skin.

Forecast

The first signs of rejuvenation after face lifting with “precious” fibers can be seen after 14-30 days.

Patients note visible changes in the dermis - the face acquires a healthy color, longitudinal and transverse folds are smoothed out, the skin texture becomes smooth and velvety.

The full result of lifting can be assessed after six months. With each subsequent month, rejuvenation will only increase, and can last about 10-16 years, depending on the age category of the patient, the complexity of the defects and the individual characteristics of the body.

The main feature of a gold thread lift is the fact that the face will not resemble a mask; on the contrary, it will have a healthy, natural and lively appearance.

In addition, after implantation of gold fibers, most patients note improved health:

1. in patients with farsightedness, visual acuity increases;
2. symptoms of periodontal lesions and chronic sinusitis disappear.

You can re-stitch your face with gold fibers no earlier than after 7-11 years.

In this publication we will talk about methods of lip augmentation without injections from a cosmetologist.

The cost of a package of gold threads (10 pcs.) varies from 20 to 5 thousand rubles. The total cost of reinforcement will depend not only on the price of the material used, but also on the prestige of the clinic and the experience of the specialist.

Let's consider the average cost of reinforcement of certain areas of the body using the table as an example.

What can you combine with?

Reinforcement of the face with gold fibers can be combined with other cosmetic procedures:

1. Mesotherapy. This procedure helps to double the effect and promotes more intensive modeling.
2. Botox. The injections play the role of a control procedure, that is, they eliminate minor imperfections that the threads could not cope with.
3. Contour plastic. Restores skin and increases its elasticity.

Reviews

Reinforcing the face with gold threads allows you to effectively tighten the skin without using a scalpel. Agree, staying young and not aging for more than 10 years is a very tempting offer, despite its price.
