Thread Lift

Thread lift is available as a non-surgical facial rejuvenation option at Dr Jeremy Hunt's Woollahra Sydney practice, providing a minimally invasive approach to lifting jowls, cheeks, and brows without general anaesthesia. Dissolvable sutures are placed under the skin to reposition and tighten sagging facial tissue, with results typically lasting twelve to eighteen months.

Thread lift at Sydney Plastic Surgery Dr Jeremy Hunt is offered as part of the practice's non-surgical skin and facial treatment menu at the Woollahra clinic in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, under the oversight of specialist plastic surgeon Dr Jeremy Hunt FRACS. Thread lift uses biocompatible, absorbable sutures — commonly PDO (polydioxanone) or PLLA threads with barbs or cones — inserted via needle or cannula under the skin to mechanically lift and reposition sagging facial tissue. Common treatment areas include the midface and jowls, the brow and temporal region, and the neck. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with or without light sedation, typically in under 60 minutes, with minimal recovery time compared to surgical facelift. Patients return to normal activities within a few days, with any initial swelling and minor bruising settling in one to two weeks. Results are visible immediately after procedure and continue to improve as collagen synthesis is stimulated around the threads over the following months; thread lift results typically last twelve to eighteen months before re-treatment is required. In a specialist plastic surgery context, thread lift is positioned as a non-surgical bridge treatment for patients who are not yet ready for or do not wish surgical facelift, or as a maintenance option after surgical rejuvenation. Patients with more advanced facial laxity are counselled that surgical facelift provides superior and longer-lasting correction. Thread lift is frequently combined with other non-surgical treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, dermal filler, and skin resurfacing for a comprehensive non-surgical facial rejuvenation result. Consultations are available at 175 Edgecliff Rd, Woollahra NSW 2025.
