What to do when you feel that the usual procedures of a cosmetologist are no longer enough? The reflection in the mirror is not pleasing, but is it both too early and scary to see a plastic surgeon? Many people are starting to think about thread lifting.
Preserve youth, correct the swollen oval of the face, raise the eyebrows - these and other shortcomings can be corrected by thread lifting. And it will delay visiting a plastic surgeon for several years.
A thread lift is a minimally invasive method of correcting age-related changes using special threads that fix the soft tissues of the face in a “young” position.
Types of threads for lifting
All threads are divided into absorbable and non-absorbable.
The threads also differ in their tasks:
- There are threads whose task is to tighten and strengthen the skin. They are called reinforcing. They come in different thicknesses, smooth and spiral.
- Threads that are designed to lift sagging tissue and smooth out age wrinkles.
Aesthetic surgeon Oleg Soldatov specializes in absorbable threads.
Advantages of absorbable threads:
- dissolve 12 months after administration, but leave a long-term effect for about 1-2 years
- do not form scar tissue, but stimulate the production of “correct” collagen
- thanks to the variety of types and forms, it is possible to target and effectively combat ptosis of certain areas of the face and body
- absorbable threads do not subsequently interfere with plastic surgery
- As a rule, they do not cause allergies.
- They do not interfere with future plastic surgeries, as non-absorbable threads remain under the skin forever and subsequently interfere with plastic surgery.
The essence of absorbable lifting threads
The lifting technique involves inserting fixing threads under the patient’s skin through micro-punctures. The threads dissolve after 1 year, releasing polylactic acid, which stimulates collagen production. Figuratively speaking, a natural framework is formed under the skin, which keeps the tissue in a taut state.
Of course, thread lifting cannot be compared with plastic surgery. During plastic surgery, the skin is excised; in the case of threads, these are small punctures and the ability to support the tissue and prevent its premature sagging. Thus, thread lifting is an opportunity to prolong your youth.
Correction of side effects
If you find the listed or other complications of thread lifting, you should immediately consult a doctor. Only a qualified specialist should eliminate and correct the negative consequences that arise after this procedure. Trying to solve the problem yourself can cause even more serious complications.
In addition, it is important to contact a professional, because a successful solution to the problem directly depends on his qualifications and experience.
In our clinic, consultations are conducted by the best doctors with many years of experience. They are familiar in detail with all the encountered complications of thread lifting and methods for their correction. Therefore, our doctors will always be able to provide competent, qualified assistance and safely eliminate side effects.
Recommendations after the procedure
Although the facial lasts less than an hour, swelling will persist for the first two weeks. To make the rehabilitation period go smoothly, you need to follow several points:
- avoid active facial expressions for several days;
- do not wear makeup for at least 12 hours
- Microcurrent therapy and Zerona are recommended.
- avoid physical activity for 14 days
- give up alcohol for 5 days
- do not visit solariums, baths, saunas for up to 14 days, swimming pools for up to 2 months
- myostimulation procedures are contraindicated for 2 months.
Complications after mesothreads
The skeptical attitude of specialists is explained by the fact that complications after mesothreads are not so rare. In most cases, they are caused by a violation of the technique of introducing threads. Women turn to cosmetologists without proper qualifications and, as a result, end up with a lot of aesthetic and medical problems. Some complications do not require special treatment, while others not only negatively affect facial aesthetics, but also pose a real threat to health.
If the technique of the procedure is violated, visualization of threads, the appearance of folds in the form of an “accordion” and local compactions may occur. Their cause is most often incomplete straightening of the threads or their too superficial location, as well as the development of fibrous compactions due to methodological errors during the procedure. Unfortunately, not all defects are easy to fix.
An example of a persistent defect is bumps after mesothreads. “Lumps,” or lumps, are the result of the formation of fibrous tissue around the threads. Since the threads are made of polydioxanone, which is destroyed by enzyme systems within a few months, the bumps after mesothreads should also resolve. However, fibrous tissue is highly durable, and, unfortunately, there are no guarantees of a successful outcome.
Cosmetic procedures after mesothreads help solve emerging aesthetic problems. For these purposes, microcurrent therapy, massage, electroporation and other hardware methods are used. As a rule, a course of procedures is required, but practice shows that any defect can be corrected. You just need to find a dermatocosmetologist who has extensive clinical experience.
Bruises after mesothreads, swelling, pain and discomfort should not be considered as complications. These are inevitable consequences of tissue injury when installing threads. They go away after a few days and do not require special treatment.
When talking about complications after mesothreads, it is worth mentioning the risk of infection, but this complication is not associated with the threads themselves at all. The cause of purulent inflammatory processes is non-compliance with the basic rules of asepsis and antisepsis when performing the procedure. The cosmetologist should be blamed for this, who neglects simple rules and jeopardizes the beauty and health of the patient.
Skin care after mesothreads should be very careful due to the risk of infectious complications. It will take several days for the skin to fully recover from the procedure. In order to protect yourself from inflammation, you should treat your face with antiseptic agents several times a day and not use decorative cosmetics until the integrity of the skin is completely restored. It is not advisable to visit a swimming pool, fitness center or sauna, where the risk of contracting an infection is always high.
Fillers
Contour plastic surgery is performed using fillers of different compositions. Fillers based on hyaluronic acid dissolve within 3-12 months, those based on polylactic acid - within 2 years, fillers made from calcium hydroxyapatite - within 24 months. As we understand, all fillers are eliminated from the body over time.
