- Combinable: Thread lifts pair well with dermal fillers, neurotoxins, or laser treatments for a more comprehensive result.

Thread Lift vs. Surgical Facelift
When a Thread Lift Makes Sense and When It Doesn't
A thread lift is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, but for the right patient, it's an effective option.
- Thread Lift: Best for patients with mild to moderate laxity who want visible lifting without surgery. Results last one to two years. Minimal downtime and no scarring. A good bridge treatment for patients who aren't ready for surgery yet or who want to extend their results after a prior facelift.
- Surgical Facelift: Best for patients with more significant sagging or loss of facial definition. Results are more dramatic and longer-lasting. Requires surgery, anesthesia, and a recovery period, but delivers results that no non-invasive treatment can fully replicate.
If you're not sure which is appropriate, our team can evaluate your skin at your appointment and give you an honest recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a thread lift?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to physically lift and reposition sagging facial tissue. The Silhouette thread lift also stimulates collagen production as the sutures dissolve over several months, providing both an immediate result and continued improvement over time. It's a non-surgical option for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
How does a Silhouette thread lift work?
Silhouette sutures are inserted through a fine needle beneath the skin and positioned to lift and anchor sagging tissue. The threads have small bidirectional cones that grip the tissue and hold the lift in place. As the threads dissolve over several months, they stimulate new collagen around the treatment area for progressive firming.
How long does a thread lift procedure take?
Most thread lift appointments take 45 minutes to one hour, depending on the number of areas treated. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Most patients return to light activity within one to two days.
Does a thread lift hurt?
The treatment area is numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure, so discomfort during treatment is minimal. Mild soreness, tightness, and swelling are normal in the days following the appointment and resolve on their own. Most patients find the recovery more comfortable than expected.
How long do thread lift results last?
Results typically last one to two years, with the collagen-stimulating effect of the dissolving threads providing continued improvement for several months after treatment. Maintenance sessions can extend your results over time. Patients who combine thread lifts with injectables or laser treatments often maintain a lifted appearance longer.
What is the difference between a thread lift and a facelift?
A thread lift is minimally invasive, requires only local anesthesia, and has minimal downtime. A surgical facelift is more comprehensive, repositioning the underlying muscle layer for results that are more dramatic and longer-lasting. Thread lifts are best for mild to moderate laxity; facelifts are the better option for patients with more significant sagging or those who want permanent correction.
How much does a thread lift cost in Miami?
The cost of a thread lift in Miami depends on the number of threads used and the areas being treated. Our team provides upfront pricing at your appointment before any treatment begins. Financing through Cherry is available for patients who prefer flexible payment options.
