Bad thread lift results: Learn what the consequences of poor technique look like

To rejuvenate the face, there are a variety of procedures and techniques that are more or less invasive, ranging from a facelift to Botox. Thread lifts are one of them, as they tighten and brighten the skin of the face. But do you know how the procedure should be performed to avoid bad thread lift results? We’ll explain.

This procedure consists of inserting threads into the dermis that, depending on each case, may vary in thickness and material. A guiding needle is used to place them, creating a kind of mesh that tightens the skin.

In this way (and with a qualified professional), we can prevent the consequences of poorly placed thread lifts.

Thread lifts can be used to:

• Eliminate wrinkles and sagging.
• Lift the eyebrows.
• Redefine the facial oval and jawline.
• In addition, they contribute to collagen production, which is essential for keeping the skin youthful and radiant.

This technique has been used for years, but demand for it has grown exponentially in recent times. Today, thread lifts are made from biocompatible and absorbable materials, so thread lift complications and allergic reactions are almost nonexistent, although they may still occur due to medical malpractice.

Now then, why do bad thread lift results occur?

The first thing to discuss is contraindications. This technique is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as its effects on their bodies are still unknown. It should also not be performed on people with skin infections or open wounds, as these factors increase the likelihood of bad thread lift results.

It is worth noting that if the skin is excessively saggy, thread lifts are less effective than other procedures, such as a facelift.

Choosing a good doctor is crucial for any procedure and for avoiding bad results. When it comes to health, it is not advisable to cut costs, as the outcome can be catastrophic. The side effects of poorly placed thread lifts include:

• Infections: If the thread lifts are inserted or sutured incorrectly, the risk of infection increases significantly.
• Exposed thread: In some cases where poor technique has been used, threads may remain outside the face. To correct this, it will be necessary to see a doctor so they can cut them.
• Uneven results: One of the worst-case scenarios is for the threads to tighten one part of the face more than another. This causes an uneven result in facial expression.
• Breakage: This technique lasts between 12 and 18 months. However, if it is not performed correctly, the threads may break. In the best-case scenario, this causes the face to return to its previous state, or only part of the thread mesh may break, making the treated areas uneven.
