Thread Lift Side Effects

Side-Effect Clinic

Why do thread lift complications occur?

Threads used in lifting procedures naturally dissolve over time, so complications are relatively uncommon. However,
if threads are placed too superficially they can become visible through the skin,
or if they are placed too deeply, tissue may bulge or sink, which can lead to skin irregularity or, rarely, infection.

When Thread Lift Treatment Is Recommended

  • Thread Extrusion

    Threads pushing out through
    the skin from movement
    of the muscles around the mouth

  • Skin Depression

    Sunken areas that develop
    when threads are placed too superficially
    or when the fat layer is thick

  • Asymmetry

    Left-right asymmetry caused by
    uneven traction from
    cog threads

  • Pain or Swelling

    Discomfort following
    significant soft-tissue trauma
    during thread placement

We consider each patient's scarring, adhesions, and
remaining skin to determine the most appropriate approach,
and decide on the treatment plan together.

  • Drawing on years of clinical experience with complication cases, we identify
    the underlying cause and provide tailored treatment.
  • We treat complications while also considering overall facial balance, not just the issue in isolation.
  • We minimize damage to nerve tissue.
  • Scars from prior procedures can also be made much less noticeable with laser treatment.
  • Most treatments are performed under local anesthesia for a safer experience.
