French Face Lift in Turkey

French face lift, also known as thread lift, is a non-surgical form of face lift. It is a procedure where dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures are utilized to stretch the face. This procedure is not a surgery, but a minor intervention that can be conducted in a doctor’s office. Despite being simple, the results are very gratifying.

How is French Face Lift Performed?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a doctor’s office. The average duration of treatment is one hour. Patients may require anywhere between one to three pairs of sutures. This will be determined by examination findings. Therefore, the cost of the operation will depend on the results of the initial examination. This method is based on creating a tension on the face with the sutures. The results will be as gratifying as a surgical face lift.

Who can have a thread lift?

Thread lift is often preferred by patients who do not want to have face lift surgery, or do not want surgical intervention at all. This procedure will be more effective for patients with minimal sagging. This procedure will make you look younger by creating a tension in the face.

Suture Types

There two different types of cosmetic sutures used for thread lifts: dissolvable and non-dissolvable. Dissolvable sutures will be spontaneously absorbed, which is preferable by certain patients. The non-dissolvable sutures are permanent, and will stay in place until removed. Both types of sutures have advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the best option for you will require a discussion with your doctor. The dissolvable sutures will be effective for an average of 2-3 years. The non-dissolvable sutures will stay in place and the sagging of the face will determine its effect.

Is thread lift a painful procedure?

This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia.  If that is the case, the patient will not feel any pain when the sutures are being placed. So, we can call it a painless operation. The patient can also use painkillers after the procedure, if needed, making sure that the postoperative process is comfortable for the patient.

How do you determine prices?

French face lift prices mainly depend on the number of required sutures. One pair of sutures will be sufficient for some patients, whereas others with more severe sagging and deformity will require 2 to 3 pairs of sutures. This will naturally reflect on the price.  An examination is necessary to clearly determine the price of this procedure. It is not otherwise possible to determine the price as we cannot know how many sutures will be needed.
