F<\/span>acelift surgery is a great choice to smooth wrinkles and tighten skin on the face and neck. Yet even with multiple specialized techniques available at Noble Cosmetic Surgery<\/a> in Plano<\/b>, the procedure is not for everyone. Some prefer a less invasive option, without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery. Dr. Patrick Obasi<\/a> explains what you need to know about<\/b> thread lifts<\/b>, as a beautiful solution.<\/p>\n

Understanding underlying causes of skin laxity<\/h2>\n

A child\u2019s skin looks smooth and dewy fresh. The deep layers contain a robust network of components that keep it that way. Collagen is a protein. It creates a fibrous meshwork that supports skin. Elastin gives skin resiliency. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that binds with water for internal hydration. Adding to the appeal of a youthful complexion, is a substructure of firm muscles and fat pads.<\/p>\n

As we age, the body\u2019s production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid slows down. Meanwhile, environmental elements such as sun exposure, smoking, and pollution, speed up depletion. Skin gets thinner and drier and becomes less responsive. As the years continue to advance, natural fat pads diminish, and we lose muscle mass. Facial bone eventually shrinks.<\/p>\n

These conditions allow fine lines and creases to develop. Gravity causes lax skin to sag downward, into folds around the mouth. This gives a once defined jawline a square, masculine appearance. Loose skin drapes under the chin and looks crepey on the neck and chest.<\/p>\n

Filling the need between minimally invasive facial rejuvenation and surgery<\/h2>\n

\"Filling<\/p>\n

A responsible program of nonsurgical skin rejuvenation, started early, helps to forestall these changes. Neuromodulator (Botox<\/a>) injections keep dynamic wrinkles from developing from repeated frowning, squinting, or puckering. Injectable dermal fillers maintain volume and smooth wrinkles. PRP<\/a> (platelet rich plasma) and laser skin resurfacing revitalize the complexion. Yet time marches on. Even skin that has had excellent care will eventually show signs of aging.<\/p>\n

Facelift surgery involves surgical excision of loose skin and tightening of underlying muscles.<\/p>\n

Thread lift is ideal for the patient who desires more improvement than minimally invasive skin rejuvenation can deliver but is not at the point of needing a facelift.<\/p>\n

Dr. Obasi uses a polydioxanone (PDO) dissolving suture material, precisely placed into dermal tissues, to lift and suspend surface skin. Threads, embedded with tiny cones, are inserted using a cannula \u2013 a slender tube, like the type of needle used for injectable fillers.<\/p>\n

Thread lift provides immediate results<\/b> from the upward pull of the suture. The material also stimulates the body\u2019s natural healing reaction. Extra collagen is produced to expel the foreign object in the dermis. Thus, as the sutures are gradually absorbed, they are replaced with fresh collagen. Patients notice improvement in firmness and tone of skin, which is long-lasting.<\/p>\n
