Precautions After Thread Lift

Please review the following guidelines to support a stable recovery and help maintain balanced results.

I. Aftercare Guidelines

• Please wear the face band for approximately 1 to 2 months while the tissue stabilizes and settles into place.
• From immediately after the procedure through the first 2 to 3 days, use cold compresses as needed. If you have pain, please take pain medication as directed.
• For 3 to 5 days, please sleep on your back with your head elevated on a pillow. Wash your face and shave gently, and do not rub or apply pressure to the treated area.
• For about 2 weeks, please avoid excessive facial expressions, large facial movements, high-impact exercise, and excessive sun exposure.
• For 2 to 3 weeks, please avoid saunas, steam rooms, bathing, alcohol, and smoking.
• For 3 weeks, please avoid dental treatment and opening your mouth widely.
• For 4 weeks, please avoid facial massage and any strong cosmetic stimulation to the face. (No meridian massage)

II. Changes That May Occur During Recovery

• Temporary swelling and bruising usually improve gradually within 1 to 2 weeks.
• Pain or a pulling sensation may continue for several days.
• You may experience discomfort when making facial expressions or pain in the temple area when eating, but these symptoms are usually temporary.
• Temporary skin unevenness or occasional dimpling may occur, but this generally settles over time.

III. Results and Progress

• Results and duration may vary depending on your skin condition and tissue characteristics.
• Proper care during the 1 to 2 months it takes for the tissue to stabilize plays an important role in the final result.

IV. When to Consult Your Medical Provider
