Is thread lift dangerous?

Thread lifting is a common cosmetic surgery method. Generally speaking, as long as you go to a regular hospital for treatment, the side effects are relatively small. However, if some people go to unqualified plastic surgery institutions, it may cause greater harm, such as asymmetrical facial expressions, uneven skin surface, and may also cause local infections and other serious harms.

Is thread lift dangerous?

1. Asymmetrical facial expressions

Using zigzag threads for thread lifting can easily cause asymmetric expressions. This is related to the patient's own asymmetric expressions and the patient's inability to adapt immediately after thread lifting. The symptoms of asymmetric expression may appear immediately after the thread sculpting is completed, or they may gradually become obvious after a few days or even months, and they will be more obvious when making facial expressions.

2. Uneven surface

The skin surface may become uneven and bumpy after thread lifting. This is common after the implantation of thicker serrated threads. Mild unevenness on the skin surface is normal and is caused by uneven contraction between the tunnel site of the buried thread and the surrounding tissue. It usually improves gradually after half a month and no special treatment is required.

3. Local infection

Thread lifting may cause side effects such as local infection. Thread lifting uses a very thin cannula needle to insert the lifting thread into the face. If the materials used for thread lifting have not been strictly disinfected and the place where the thread lifting is performed has not been sterilized, then it is very likely that the beauty seeker will develop symptoms of infection after the thread lifting. Symptoms of infection include redness, itching, swelling, etc., and you need to contact a doctor immediately for treatment.

4. Body rejection

Some people will have rejection reactions after thread lifting, which is usually closely related to the thread materials used in thread lifting. Regular hospitals use POD sutures/PPDO sutures and PLLA sutures. These materials have been used as absorbable sutures in general surgery or orthopedics for decades. Therefore, as long as the aseptic operation is passed and some early adverse reactions are dealt with in time, rejection reactions rarely occur.

5. Exposed wires

If you do not choose a regular hospital for thread lifting, or if the doctor performs the thread lifting operation in an irregular manner, there is a risk of the thread penetrating the skin, leaving many thread ends on the skin or in the mouth. The reason for this danger is that the threads used in thread lifting are very hard, and inexperienced doctors have not considered the best stress points on the skin, which is likely to cause skin breakdown. If wire exposure occurs, you need to return for a follow-up visit immediately to avoid greater side effects.
