A consultation reviews medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, prior procedures, skin type, healing history, and the timing of events or travel before a treatment plan is recommended.
Recovery and Procedure Planning
- Ask about swelling, bruising, scar care, activity restrictions, and when to resume exercise.
- Plan around work, childcare, travel, and social events because healing timelines vary.
- Bring prior procedure history and photos if they help explain your goals.
- Call the clinic for current pricing, financing options, and whether insurance may apply for medically necessary concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do thread lift results last?
The threads dissolve after about 6 months, but the collagen they stimulate supports the lift for 12-18 months or even longer.
Is the procedure painful?
We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, so most patients feel only mild pressure during the insertion. It is generally very well-tolerated.
What is the recovery time?
You might have some mild swelling or bruising for a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and exaggerated facial movements for about 2 weeks.
