The “lunchtime facelift,” or thread lift, is a faster, cheaper and less invasive version of the traditional surgical facelift. As its name implies, the procedure uses absorbable threads or sutures to lift different parts of the facial skin. Instead of removing the patient's loose facial skin surgically, the cosmetic surgeon simply suspends it by barbed threads to hook up portions of it. This is done as an office/OPD procedure under local anaesthesia.

After the procedure, some patients experience minimal bruising, swelling or soreness that is self-limiting. To ensure the best results, there are some precautions that the patient must observe after a thread lift. These include not sleeping on your stomach or side, wearing makeup, drinking alcohol, making extreme facial expressions, and receiving facials and facial massages for a few days or weeks. The patient should refrain from washing, wetting and touching their face or the treated area for at least 12 hours after the procedure. One must be careful not to massage or scrub with a washcloth for 3 weeks after the thread lift.

The results of a thread lift usually last around 12-18 months. To make the results last longer, one may need additional dermal fillers or other therapies that cost additional time and money.
