French Lift (Thread Facelift)

There are two types of threads used. The threads known as the classic "French Lift" (dynamic lift) have a sturdy polyester core and a silicone outer structure; they do not melt in the body, and their permanence is very long. In addition, threads made of "PDO or PLLA" materials, which melt spontaneously in the body within 6-8 months, leaving collagen tissue in their place, are also frequently preferred. Your doctor determines the type according to your skin's needs.

While the effect of procedures performed with melting threads generally lasts for 1.5 to 2 years; the lifting effect of the real French lift application performed with non-melting (dynamic) threads can continue between 3 to 5 years depending on the patient's skin structure.

No, because the threads have a flexible structure when placed in the correct fascial plane, they move along with your mimics. From the outside, the trace, bulge, or stiffness of the thread is not noticeable; you only see the lifted (vigorous) state of your face from 5-10 years ago.

Since the procedure is performed with local anesthesia, it is painless. For the first few days after the procedure, there may be slight dimpling (pulling), edema, and sensitivity on the lines where the thread passed. This condition usually settles completely within 1 week, achieving a natural and smooth appearance.
