Facial techniques lie on a spectrum and can be broadly divided into non-surgical and surgical modalities. From least invasive to most, they include:
- Superficial skin treatments – chemical peels, laser resurfacing, micro needling
- Injections to address concerns regarding fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyaluronic acid injections
- Thread lifting
- Fat grafting
- Face lift surgery (SMAS, MACS, deep plane techniques)
More about surgical thread lifting:
- In rooms procedure, no hospitalisation required.
- Minimal scarring (needle entry point only).
- Minimal down time compared to surgery.
- Performed under local anaesthetic only.
- Aims to address concerns of loose skin, especially in the brows, cheeks, jowls and neck areas.
- Aims to address concerns of volume loss of the face, especially in the mid cheeks.
- Stimulates production of collagen to address skin appearance and texture concerns.
There are still risks associated with thread lifts. These include:
- Infection
- Granuloma formation
- Asymmetry
- Countour irregularities
- Transient skin dimpling
- Modest / minimal effect which can sometimes be difficult to predict preoperatively

It is important to remember, any invasive procedure carries risks and individual results may vary depending on factors, not limited to but including age, genetics, diet, lifestyle and existing medical conditions. Before any surgery, we recommend you consult a qualified health practitioner who should discuss with you at length these risks including possible complications and recovery/aftercare instructions specific to your procedure. If unsure, always seek a second opinion from a specialist plastic surgeon.
