About Thread Lift (PDO / Silhouette)
A thread lift uses dissolvable PDO or Silhouette threads placed under the skin to lift and support sagging cheeks and jowls. It suits people with mild sagging who want less downtime than surgery.
Under local anaesthesia, fine threads are inserted through tiny entry points and anchored so they gently reposition tissue. Barbed or coned threads grip the skin, while smooth PDO threads mainly stimulate collagen. The procedure takes under an hour, and the threads dissolve over several months while the lifting effect is supported by new collagen.
Usually a good fit if
- You have mild to moderate sagging of the cheeks, jowls or brows.
- Your skin still has reasonable elasticity.
- You want a modest improvement with little downtime.
- You are in good health.
May need to wait if
- Severe skin laxity or heavy jowls, which need surgical lifting.
- Active skin infection, autoimmune disease or a tendency to keloid scarring.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Blood-thinning therapy that cannot be paused on medical advice.
How to prepare
- Tell your doctor about allergies, skin infections, autoimmune disease, keloid scarring and pregnancy.
- Review blood thinners, aspirin, fish oil and supplements with your doctor before treatment.
- Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medicines for the days your clinician advises.
- Come without make-up and plan a few quieter social days afterwards.
- Ask about the thread type and brand and where the threads are made.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- What type of thread do you recommend for me, and why?
- How many threads will you place, and where?
- How long will the lift last and when will I need to repeat it?
- What are the risks of dimpling, thread visibility or asymmetry?
- What should I avoid doing after treatment, such as dental work or facial massage?
- What can be done at home if a thread causes a problem?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Claims that threads give results equal to a facelift.
- Unbranded threads or no information on thread material.
- Treatment by someone without medical qualifications.
- No assessment of your anatomy or discussion of risks.

Dissolvable threads cannot easily be removed, though problems can often be treated. Ask your clinician how issues are handled.
