A thread lift is an in-clinic procedure that places dissolvable, medical-grade sutures beneath the skin to gently reposition sagging tissues while triggering new collagen for firmer, smoother contours—all in under an hour and with only local anaesthesia. Patients typically return to normal routines within a few days, making it one of the most sought-after facelift alternatives in Singapore.
During a thread lift, ultra-fine PDO, PLLA or PCL threads are inserted with a cannula along vectors that elevate the cheeks, jawline, brows or neck. The barbs (or cones) on each thread grasp underlying tissue for an instant mechanical lift while the material gradually dissolves, stimulating collagen so results continue to improve for months.
Thread Material | Longevity* | Best For | Key Benefit |
---|---|---|---|
PDO (Polydioxanone) | 6–9 months | First-timers, subtle lift | Fast collagen kick-start |
PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) | Up to 18 months | Mid-face volume & lift | Adds mild volumisation |
PCL (Polycaprolactone) | Up to 24 months | Jawline, heavier tissue | Strongest, longest lift |
Threadlift cannot replace the need for volumisation. While thread lifts provide a noticeable lift by repositioning sagging skin, they cannot replace the need for volume restoration, especially in cases of hollow temples or sunken cheeks.
As we age, the deep fat pads in the temples and outer cheeks shrink and descend, leading to a collapsed, tired appearance. In such cases, thread lifts are most effective when combined with strategic filler placement to restore lost volume and structural support.
When used together, dermal fillers enhance the lifting power of threads, delivering a more comprehensive and natural-looking rejuvenation. This combination not only improves skin tightness but also recreates the smooth transitions and facial fullness associated with youth.
