How Long
Does Swelling Last
After Thread Lifting?
After a thread lift
Some swelling
is completely normal
As the tissues
under the skin
respond to
the insertion
of the threads
In most cases
Swelling is most noticeable
During the first
1–3 days
After the procedure
And gradually improves
Within the next
4–7 days
For people
with minimal swelling
The face may look
close to normal
Within about
1 week
However
If multiple threads
were used
Or if you tend
to swell easily
It may take
1–2 weeks
For everything
to settle naturally
What about
the lifting results?
The final result
Usually becomes
more noticeable
As the threads
fully settle
Which may take
Around 1 month
after treatment
How to Reduce
Swelling
Apply cold compresses
During the first
48 hours
Sleep with
your head elevated
Avoid touching
or massaging
the treated area
Avoid spicy foods
Alcohol
And intense exercise
During the early
recovery period

Contact Your Doctor?
