Why Choose Thread Lifts Over Fillers?
Thread lifts and fillers serve different purposes, and the choice depends on your goals. Thread lifts provide a lifting effect by repositioning sagging skin, offering a subtle adjustment for areas like the jawline or cheeks. Fillers, on the other hand, restore volume and contour by modifying specific features such as lips or cheeks. If your goal is to address mild sagging rather than volume loss, thread lifts may be a better option. Unlike fillers, which add volume, Thread lifts are a non-surgical option designed to address individual concerns and support your aesthetic goals.
- Natural Lifting Without Bulk
Unlike fillers, thread lifts address excess skin without adding more volume, preventing the “puffy” look.
- Combined Treatments for Optimal Results
At Me Clinic, we expertly combine thread lifts and fillers for a balanced, harmonious appearance.

How long do the results last?
Results from a Thread Lift typically last up to 2 years. The threads provide an immediate lifting effect, and as they naturally dissolve, they stimulate the body’s production of collagen, which helps maintain the lift and improve skin texture over time.
Is there any downtime?
The downtime for a thread lift is manageable. Most patients can return to their daily activities
within 1-2 days. Some swelling or mild bruising may occur, but this usually subsides within a
few days. Dr. Ku will provide aftercare instructions to encourage a smooth recovery.
Is the procedure painful?
The thread lift procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the treatment area, making the procedure nearly pain-free. Some patients may feel slight pressure or a pulling sensation during the process, but discomfort is manageable. Most patients report feeling comfortable throughout the treatment.
What areas of the face can be treated with a thread lift?
Thread lifts are versatile and can treat various areas, including:
- Lower face (nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls)
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Brow
- Under-eye area (for lifting sagging skin)
How soon will I see results?
Some patients may notice changes soon after the procedure. The appearance may evolve over the following months as the body responds to the threads, which may include collagen production. Results vary depending on individual factors.
Am I a good candidate for a thread lift?
Thread lifts are ideal for men and women who are starting to see signs of ageing, such as excess sagging skin and wrinkles, but do not want to undergo surgical procedures. The treatment is suitable for those looking for subtle results without the downtime associated with surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Ku will assess your skin and overall health to determine if this treatment is right for you.
How does a thread lift compare to a surgical facelift?
Threadlift vs Surgical Facelift: Key Differences
A threadlift and a surgical facelift are both cosmetic procedures aimed at addressing facial appearance, but they differ significantly in technique, longevity, and recovery.
Threadlift: This is a less invasive procedure where dissolvable threads are placed under the skin to lift and tighten areas of the face. It is often chosen for its shorter recovery time and less invasive nature. Results are generally subtler and may last between 12 to 24 months, depending on individual factors.
Surgical Facelift: This is a more comprehensive procedure performed under anaesthesia. It involves repositioning deeper tissues and removing excess skin to achieve a more dramatic and longer-lasting result, typically enduring several years. Recovery involves more downtime and a more extensive healing process compared to a threadlift.
The choice between these procedures depends on factors such as the individual’s aesthetic goals, age, skin quality, and willingness to undergo surgery. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is necessary to determine the most appropriate option, based on a thorough assessment of personal needs and health.
Can a thread lift be combined with other treatments?
Yes, thread lifts can be combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or Botox, to
achieve more comprehensive results. At Me Clinic, we are experienced in creating
personalized treatment plans that may include a combination of thread lifts and fillers for a
balanced, harmonious appearance.
What should I expect during the recovery process?
After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these effects are
usually temporary and subside within a few days. You will be advised to avoid vigorous
physical activity, excessive facial movements, and sleeping on your side for the first week.
Following Dr. Ku’s aftercare instructions will help encourage optimal results.
Are the threads approved for use by the TGA?
We only use TGA approved threads. The threads are naturally absorbed by the body over time, leaving behind newly stimulated collagen. Dr. Ku has years of experience with thread lifts and ensures that all procedures are performed to the highest safety standards.
Will I need maintenance treatments?
Thread lifts provide long-lasting results, but as the natural aging process continues, you may
consider maintenance treatments after 18-24 months. During your follow-up visits, Dr. Ku
can assess your skin and recommend any additional treatments to maintain your results.
