Thread Lift in Tunisia

Before undergoing a thread lift, it is essential to:

• Avoid specific medications: Stop anti-inflammatories and blood-thinning medications.
• Quit smoking: Smoking can affect healing and reduce results.
• Manage expectations: Understand that thread lifts offer natural results but are not equivalent to surgical facelifts.

Ideal candidates include:

• Individuals aged 35–60 experiencing mild to moderate skin sagging.
• Those seeking a non-surgical solution for facial lifting.
• Patients wanting quick recovery with minimal downtime.

• Immediate results: A visible lifting effect right after the procedure.
• Collagen stimulation: Continued improvement in skin texture and firmness.
• Minimal downtime: Quick recovery compared to traditional surgeries.
• Non-invasive: Fewer risks and complications.

1. Absorbable threads: Made from polydioxanone (PDO) or polylactic acid, these threads dissolve over time.
2. Non-absorbable threads: Provide longer-lasting support and lifting.
3. Barbed threads: Offer a stronger hold and more pronounced lift.
4. Smooth threads: Used for skin tightening and collagen stimulation.

The technique depends on the desired outcome:

1. Suspension technique: Barbed threads are used to lift sagging tissues.
2. Mesh technique: Multiple smooth threads create a supportive network to stimulate collagen.

The procedure includes:

1. Local anesthesia: Ensures comfort during treatment.
2. Thread insertion: Threads are inserted under the skin using fine needles.
3. Lifting and securing: The threads are adjusted to lift and tighten the skin.
4. Finishing: Insertion points are cleaned and protected.

After the procedure:

• Quick recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
• Temporary side effects: Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort resolve within a week.
• Follow-ups: Dr. Djemal will monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

Thread lift results typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on skin quality, lifestyle, and thread type.

The final results are visible after 2 to 3 weeks when swelling subsides, and collagen stimulation begins to improve skin texture and firmness.

• Follow post-procedure care instructions.
• Avoid sun exposure; use sunscreen daily.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle with hydration and a balanced diet.
• Avoid smoking, as it can reduce the durability of results.

Thread lifts can be combined with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results, such as:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers: For added volume.
• Botox: To reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
• Chemical peels: For improved skin texture and radiance.
• Facial lipofilling: To restore natural volume.
