Can Frequent Thread Lifts
Cause Fibrosis?
You may have heard that
having thread lifts too often
can cause fibrosis.
This can make some people
worry that repeated treatments
may make the face feel firm
or develop lumps.
After a thread lift,
the body naturally responds
to the threads and the tissue.
Changes may also occur
in the tissue around
the thread placement.
This is part of the body’s
normal tissue response
after the procedure.
Can repeated thread lifts
cause fibrosis?
Having multiple thread lifts
may lead to additional
fibrous or scar-like tissue
in some people.
This may be more likely
when the same area
is treated repeatedly
or the tissue is stimulated
multiple times.
However, this does not mean
that everyone who has
multiple thread lifts
will develop fibrosis.
It also does not mean
that the face will become
firm or hard.
Each person’s tissue
responds differently
to the procedure.
Factors that may play a role include:
• The type and number
of threads used
• The placement and
tissue layer of the threads
• The technique used
during the procedure
• The time between
each treatment
• Each person’s
individual tissue response
If you want another
thread lift, what should you do?
The skin and underlying tissue
should be assessed
before each treatment.
Your doctor may consider
the previous thread placement,
the existing thread lines,
and the current condition
of your facial tissues.
This helps determine
whether another thread lift
is appropriate for you.
Having had a thread lift before
does not automatically mean
you cannot have another one.
However, the timing and technique
should be considered carefully
based on each person’s
facial condition.
If you are considering
another thread lift,
we recommend seeing a doctor
for an individual assessment.
This allows your doctor
to determine which areas
may be suitable
and plan the treatment
according to your facial structure.

places importance on assessment
before treatment.
Our doctors consider
each person’s skin condition
and facial structure
when planning a thread lift.
