Thread Lift (BIANCA LIFT, 6 Threads)

Treatment details: Thread Lift (BIANCA LIFT, 6 Threads)

Six threads is a moderate count and was the right number here because the descent was confined to the lower third. Placing more would have pulled the mid cheek into a position it did not need, and the face would have looked altered rather than rested. Each thread was anchored in the temporal region and drawn along the line the tissue had fallen, so the correction follows gravity in reverse instead of cutting across it. Two weeks is early in the timeline. Gathering at the entry points has resolved and the mouth opens freely again, but the collagen that forms along each thread is only beginning. That process runs for two to three months and is what carries the result once the material itself absorbs.

Swelling and bruising around the temples and cheeks last one to two weeks, and a drawn sensation on opening the mouth wide is normal during that period. Small dimples or gathering of skin at the entry points are common in the first days and generally flatten as the tissue relaxes. A thread can occasionally be felt beneath the skin, and less often it migrates, breaks, or becomes exposed, in which case it is removed. One side may lift more than the other and an adjustment is sometimes required. Infection at an entry point is uncommon but treated promptly. Numbness over the cheek can persist for several weeks. Because the threads absorb, the lift is temporary and repeat placement is needed to maintain it.
