Thread Neck Lift Surgery
Do you feel that your neck gives your age away?
While make up, good skincare and even BOTOX can work wonders on the face, many women and men find that as they approach middle age, the time has taken its toll on the neck; leaving loose, saggy skin and a poorly defined jawline and chin.
Thread Lift for the Neck
Threadlifting is ideal for rejuvenating the neck area, as it gently yet effectively lifts and tightens the loose skin, bringing back smoothness and definition of the jaw and chin.
Performed as a day case in our Dublin clinic, the procedure refreshes the neck area to turn back the signs of ageing, which can be exacerbated by sun exposure, diet or smoking.
This procedure is ideal for:
- People with a general "saggy" appearance to the neck, including wrinkles, lines and loose skin
- Restoring the definition around the chin/jawline
- Both women and men from the age of 38/40 onwards
The results are very natural in appearance and as a day case it is surprisingly simple yet effective. Your neck will simply look smoother, younger and better defined.
"Silhouette" Thread-Lift
The revolutionary new Silhouette Thread Lift gives you the opportunity to get back that younger-looking neck, without a general anaesthetic, without hospitalisation and without a long recovery time. The threadlift is a new technique that is performed with local anaesthetic in around an hour.
The immediate recovery enables the patient to go back to normal activities very quickly. After 2 weeks, any sign of the procedure has disappeared and the patient simply has a smoother, tighter neck with more defined jawline.
The procedure takes place in 5 stages :
- Insertion
- Deployment
- Anchoring
- Suspension
- Fixation
The threads are inserted on the bias through a micro-incision. These sutures are made from polypropylene, a biocompatible material with the human body which has been used for many years in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery.
The "Silhouette" threadlift sutures are the most innovative sutures to date. They are not barbed which avoids any tissue damage and thanks to small re-absorbable cones which anchor themselves in deep tissue, a tension is produced which lifts the sagging tissue.
The fibrosis around the suture produces a much stronger suspension mechanism than traditional methods and the sutures avoid problems of movement, breakage and pain which occur with barbed sutures.
The results are outstanding.
You can expect a younger and very natural appearance for many years to come. Silhouette Lift has no side effects and the results have proved systematically spectacular. It is an efficient technique for both men and women.
Frequently asked Questions:
Q: What is a Silhouette Lift?
Silhouette-Lift is a new threadlifting technique developed for use with Silhouette Sutures, a new suspension thread. This minimally invasive technique is used to lift and reposition sagging tissue. Silhouette Sutures offer significantly greater lift due to their unique absorbable cones which give strong traction when lifting the soft tissue.
Q: What are the benefits of a thread-lift?
As of today, threadlifting is efficient for the jowls, the nasogenien grove, the neck and the brows.
Q: Am I the ideal patient for a thread lift?
If you are over 38/ 40 years old and have started experiencing sagging in the neck and less sharpness in the definition of your jaw and chin, then you will probably benefit from Silhouette Lift.
Q: Does a Thread Lift require a general anaesthetic or hospitalisation?
A Silhouette Lift is performed under local anaesthetic by our surgeon without the need of hospitalisation.
Q: How long is the procedure?
The procedure takes an average of around 1 hour for the neck.
Q: What reassurance do I have with the Silhouette Sutures?
The Silhouette Sutures have been approved by the US FDA and have received the CE mark. These approvals are unique in the market.
Q: Why is Silhouette Lift the best available procedure in thread lifting?
- The Silhouette Lift technique is the most reliable on the market as it is based on mechanics;
-
The unique design of the hollow cones is harmless and the Silhouette Sutures cannot break;
-
The Silhouette Sutures are attached, hence they can not migrate and the risk of the Silhouette Sutures moving is non-existent;
-
As the Silhouette Sutures are not absorbable, the traction and the suspension effects are long lasting.
Q: Is Thread Lifting an alternative to a traditional neck lift?
A Thread Lift can not replace a traditional surgical neck lift which removes excess skin. It is, however, an effective way of lifting and tightening your neck skin.
