Sagging or signs of aging in the facial area are among the most common aesthetic complaints. Patients who experience sagging, especially in the cheeks, eyebrows, and neck regions, often seek solutions through aesthetic procedures. For those who face unwanted issues like sagging or wrinkles in the neck area due to various causes, neck lift procedures offer a significant solution. In general, neck lift procedures are aimed at addressing problems such as sagging or wrinkles in the neck caused by different factors. These surgeries involve tightening the sagging areas of the neck using various techniques. After a successful neck lift operation, the patient’s expectations are met, resulting in a much improved appearance in that region.

What are the methods of neck lift?

A patient who wants to get rid of the sagging problem in this area by undergoing a neck lift operation may come across various options. These neck lift operations can be classified as surgical or non-surgical procedures. In addition to the well-known surgical neck lift operations, non-surgical neck lift applications are available as an option for patients who are hesitant about surgery. Ultherapy benefits from the power of ultrasound waves for neck lifting, while the gold needle method uses a special needle-tip device to address problems in the neck. Additionally, tightening in the neck area can be achieved using the Thermage device with radiofrequency. The thread lift method, which solves sagging problems in the face, is also among the non-surgical neck lift procedures and is frequently preferred.

What is the thread lifting method?

Having smooth and youthful-looking skin, even as age progresses, is one of the biggest aesthetic expectations for many people. In this context, the thread lifting procedure, especially for patients who experience sagging in the neck and double chin areas, is one of the most commonly sought-after operations. The goal of the thread lifting method is to tighten loose and sagging skin in the treated areas, resulting in a more youthful appearance. As it is a non-surgical procedure, it is also a method frequently preferred by patients who are hesitant about surgical operations or who want to see a change in their neck with a non-permanent procedure before committing to surgery.

What is thread lifting for neck lifting?

The neck and chin area has a thin skin structure, making it more prone to wrinkles and sagging. In this context, the sagging seen in the chin area, which is one of the most affected regions by age and environmental factors, can be addressed with thread lifting. With the lifting effect provided by the thread lifting method, patients can achieve the desired firm and tight appearance in the neck and chin areas.

In thread lifting procedures, the threads used are specially manufactured. In thread lifting, both dissolvable and permanent threads can be used. When dissolvable threads are used, as the threads dissolve, collagen tissue is activated under the skin, helping to maintain the effects of the procedure for a long time.

How is thread lifting for neck tightening done?

Before the thread lifting for neck tightening procedure, a preliminary consultation with the doctor is held. The doctor listens to the patient’s complaints and expectations, and considering the patient’s current health status, decides whether they are suitable for the thread lifting procedure.

Before the thread lifting procedure for neck tightening, local anesthesia or sedation is applied. This ensures that patients do not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. After the local anesthesia takes effect, the predetermined number of threads is inserted into the areas decided upon before the procedure. These threads are usually in pairs of 2 or 3. The number of threads used depends on the amount of sagging in the patient’s neck and chin area. Once the skin is tightened with these threads placed in the sagging areas, the thread lifting procedure for the neck is complete. After the thread lifting for the neck and chin, patients do not need to stay in the hospital. The patient can be discharged on the same day and return home.

Is neck lifting with thread suspension permanent?

One of the main concerns of patients who consult specialists for neck lifting with thread suspension is whether the procedure is permanent. The thread suspension method is a non-surgical procedure. Therefore, it is unfortunately not possible to say that thread suspension applications have lifelong permanent effects. However, the threads used in the thread lifting technique are specially manufactured for this procedure. There are two basic types of threads: dissolvable and permanent. Dissolvable threads have the property of completely dissolving within the skin over time, and the average duration of stay in the human body is stated to be 1 year. This duration may vary from patient to patient. After the effects of the neck lifting with thread suspension procedure fade, patients who wish can repeat the procedure and maintain the rejuvenating effects on their skin. Permanent threads, on the other hand, do not dissolve over time and remain in the body for a lifetime, with an effect duration of about 4-5 years.

What can the patient expect after a neck lift with thread suspension?

After a neck lift with thread suspension, patients can return to their daily lives in a very short time. Post-operative effects such as minor bleeding, edema, swelling, and bruising may occur in the treated areas. These are temporary effects. In case of unexpected side effects or complications, it is recommended to contact the performing physician. Additionally, to minimize the negative effects that may occur during and after the procedure, it is advised to consult with experienced and specialized doctors for the thread suspension procedure. Following the recommendations and advice of the operating physician after the neck lift with thread suspension will help ensure a smooth recovery process.

Considering that the neck and double chin area may be in a sensitive condition due to the procedure after thread suspension, it is recommended to avoid massaging and applying pressure to the treated areas. During the first week, patients should refrain from sleeping on their stomach or side, and the area should not be exposed to excessive hot water. It is advised to stay away from hot and humid environments such as hammams, jacuzzis, saunas, steam baths, or swimming pools.

After a neck lift with thread suspension, the effects of the procedure can be observed immediately. However, the full effects will become visible approximately one month later, once the post-operative swelling subsides.
