What Is A Thread Lift?
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive technique aimed at boosting and tightening loose facial skin. A PDO thread lift is a fantastic treatment for patients who want to combat skin laxity and signs of aging but aren't ready for surgery. At FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery, we offer two kinds of materials for lifts: PDO (polydioxanone) threads and Silhouette InstaLift®, both of which are dissolvable sutures that are threaded through the skin to lift sagging tissues and promote collagen and elastin production. To learn more about your options for thread lifting, contact our Los Angeles, CA office to set up a consultation with experienced plastic surgeon Dr. Cong Ivy Ran.
How Does A Thread Lift Work?
Thread lifts are sometimes called "lunchtime lifts" because they deliver fantastic results in only 30 – 45 minutes for most patients. During your consultation, Dr. Ran will go over what you can expect, including which type of thread will be used, how many will be injected, and which areas will be targeted to produce the results you want. To help keep you comfortable and relaxed during your thread lift, FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery offers a variety of pain management options, including local anesthesia with oral sedation, oral pain medications, and IV sedation (if other procedures are also being done). Once you're prepared, Dr. Ran will carefully inject the threads into the selected areas of your face before gently tightening them to create a lifted, youthful appearance. As the threads break down over the next few weeks and months, they'll stimulate your body's production of skin-nourishing proteins for lasting rejuvenation. Afterward, you can get back to your routine. You may have some pain, swelling, and bruising for up to two weeks after your thread lift, but these will pass.
What Are the Benefits of A Thread Lift?
If you want a more energized, youthful appearance but aren't interested in surgery, thread lifting offers similar results with no downtime recovery. Thread lifts offer a number of benefits for Los Angeles, CA patients who want firmer, smoother skin, including:
- Results that are longer-lasting than other noninvasive rejuvenation options (such as injectable dermal fillers)
- Collagen growth that provides glowing results for years to come
- Delight in your brand-new youthful results
- Treatments are minimally invasive but powerful
FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery Reviews
Big shoutout to Dr. Ran! She's the real MVP who finally fixed my skin issues. I've seen other dermatologists before, but none could do what she did. Dr. Ran really listens to my needs and knows her stuff, making her someone I trust completely. I've done two treatments and been on meds for months now, and never been so satisfied with my skin. Lucky to have found such an awesome doc!
I had a few consultations with different doctors when deciding on a big procedure and I'm so glad I chose Dr Ran! She does wonderful work and took time making sure I understood everything. I was very comfortable with her expertise and my results have made me incredibly happy! It was a much smoother process than I imagined and I will definitely continue to consult Dr Ran for future procedures.
I recommend plastic surgeon Dr. Ran. From the initial consultation, she was kind and cooperative until the final result. I am still waiting to see the final results and make adjustments...but the doctor, as she said, from the beginning, cares about the patient until the end, trying to help him as much as possible. All love and respect for her."
Great experience! We first had a comprehensive discussion about my concerns and goals. Dr. Ran tailored her treatment recommendation based on this and she throughly discussed the differences between multiple approaches, which helped me better decide which was best for me. I’m super happy with the outcome!
Dr Ran is very professional and she answers your questions into very details. All staffs there are warm and welcoming.
