Non-surgical lift trajectory visualization for midface, jowl, and brow repositioning with PDO, PLLA, and PCL thread options.
What to expect
Typical milestones for an aesthetic-procedure patient. Your surgeon will personalise the plan during your consultation.
Before surgery
Consultation
Surgeon reviews your photos + the simulator preview, sets realistic expectations, and books the procedure date.
Day 0
Procedure
In-clinic procedure under local or general anaesthetic. Most patients go home the same day.
Days 1–7
Early recovery
Swelling and bruising peak around day 3 then start to subside. Most patients work from home this week.
Weeks 2–6
Settling in
Visible swelling resolves; you can return to social commitments + light exercise. Final shape still emerging.
Months 6–12
Final result
Tissues fully settle and the simulated outcome becomes your real face. Follow-up review with your surgeon.

A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and tightens sagging facial tissue using absorbable sutures. Barbed or smooth threads are inserted beneath the skin to physically lift tissue and stimulate collagen production for ongoing improvement.
Three main thread materials are used: PDO (polydioxanone) — absorbed in 6-8 months with results lasting 1-2 years; PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) — stronger collagen stimulation lasting 2-3 years; and PCL (polycaprolactone) — the longest-lasting option with results up to 3-4 years.
Our simulator visualizes thread placement trajectories and the resulting lift effect on the midface, jowls, nasolabial folds, neck, and brow. It models the degree of lift achievable with each thread type and the expected collagen stimulation timeline.
Patients with early to moderate facial sagging who want visible lift without the downtime and cost of a surgical facelift.
Recovery Time
2-5 days
Procedure Duration
30-60 minutes
Typical Cost Range
$1,500 – $4,500
