Face Thread Lift Specialist in Schaumburg, IL

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we specialize in offering customized facial rejuvenation treatments, including the popular thread lift procedure. An ideal candidate for a face thread lift at our practice is typically someone experiencing mild to moderate signs of facial aging—such as sagging skin, jowls, or a loss of definition along the jawline and cheeks. Thread lifts are especially effective for individuals who still have good skin elasticity, as the threads can anchor and lift tissues more effectively when the skin retains some natural firmness.

Most of our thread lift patients are in their late 30s to early 50s, but the most important factor is the condition of your skin, not just your age. If you’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations about your results, a thread lift may be a great choice. This minimally invasive procedure offers subtle, natural-looking improvements—perfect for those who want to avoid the downtime and risks associated with surgical facelifts.

Our experienced team will evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss your personal goals. Thread lifts are best for patients seeking gentle lifting and contouring rather than dramatic changes. If you have significant sagging, very thin skin, or heavy facial tissues, our board-certified plastic surgeons can discuss alternative options, such as a traditional facelift, to help you achieve optimal results.

Our experienced team specializes in using absorbable sutures (threads) to gently lift and tighten areas of the face, creating natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Thread lifts at Face Works Plastic Surgery are ideal for treating several key areas:
●Cheeks: We can restore youthful contours and address sagging in the midface, helping you achieve a refreshed appearance.
●Jawline: Thread lifts effectively define and tighten the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and enhancing facial harmony.
●Nasolabial Folds: By subtly lifting the skin around the folds that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, we help soften deep creases.
●Brows: Our “non-surgical brow lift” technique elevates and opens the brow area, providing a rejuvenated, more alert look.
●Neck: For patients experiencing mild laxity, thread lifts can also improve contour and firmness in the neck area.

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, every thread lift treatment is tailored to your individual needs and aesthetic goals. This procedure is an excellent solution for those with mild to moderate skin laxity who want noticeable improvement without the commitment or recovery time of traditional surgery. Discover a younger, revitalized you—with results you can see and confidence you can feel.

We are dedicated to offering the latest, minimally invasive options to help our patients look and feel their best. One such innovative treatment is the thread lift—a procedure designed to gently lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck using temporary, dissolvable sutures.

While a thread lift provides a more subtle result compared to a traditional surgical facelift, it can still deliver a noticeable improvement for patients seeking mild to moderate lifting. Common areas treated include the cheeks, jowls, brows, and neck. Thread lifts not only reposition the skin for an immediate lift, but they also stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, gradually enhancing skin firmness and texture in the weeks following your procedure.

It’s important to note that the effects of a thread lift are not permanent; most patients enjoy results lasting from 12 to 18 months as the threads dissolve naturally over time. Maintenance treatments at Face Works Plastic Surgery can help you extend and refresh your results as desired. Thread lifts are best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity—if you have more significant sagging, our board-certified plastic surgeons can discuss other surgical options to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Thread lifts are performed in our comfortable office setting, and most patients experience only minor swelling, bruising, or discomfort. Our experienced team ensures a safe procedure with a low risk of complications, though, as with any treatment, there is a small chance of infection, asymmetry, or thread migration.

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of advanced facial rejuvenation options to address your unique aesthetic goals. One popular minimally invasive procedure is the thread lift—a technique that gently lifts and tightens sagging skin by inserting dissolvable threads beneath the skin’s surface. Thread lifts can be an excellent solution for patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity or early signs of aging, as they provide a subtle lift and stimulate collagen production for a firmer, more youthful appearance.

However, for individuals with deep wrinkles or significant sagging, thread lifts may not offer the dramatic results they seek. In these cases, our board-certified plastic surgeons may recommend more comprehensive surgical options, such as a facelift, or a combination of treatments—including dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, or surgical lifting procedures—to achieve optimal, longer-lasting results.

At Face Works Plastic Surgery, your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. We encourage you to schedule a personalized consultation with our experienced team to discuss your concerns and develop a tailored treatment plan that best suits your needs and desired outcomes.

Dr. Paul C. Dillon, M.D, combines advanced techniques with individualized patient care to deliver exceptional results with thread lift treatments. Dr. Paul is dedicated to helping you achieve noticeable, natural-looking skin tightening and facial rejuvenation.

Every thread lift journey at Face Works Plastic Surgery begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Paul C. Dillon carefully assesses your facial structure, skin quality, and unique aesthetic goals to determine if a thread lift is the best option for you. This personalized approach ensures results that are tailored specifically to your needs.

On the day of your procedure, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. The treatment begins with a gentle cleansing of your skin and precise marking of the areas to be lifted. To ensure a comfortable experience, a local anesthetic is administered.

Dr. Paul utilizes high-quality, dissolvable threads made from safe materials such as polydioxanone (PDO). With his expert precision, these threads are strategically inserted beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas. The threads are then gently adjusted to lift sagging tissues and create a more youthful facial contour, while simultaneously stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.

Immediately after the procedure, you’ll notice a visible lifting effect. Over the following months, as the threads gradually dissolve, your skin continues to improve in firmness and texture thanks to ongoing collagen stimulation.
