      people should learn to face realty.
      Especially when - like in this case - they created their own problems.
      If I do something to look better, I need to be ready to hear other people saying I look like shit.
      I can't pretend people do not express their own opinions just because it makes me sad.

      Amusegirl1980 this page is for comments and opinions. If we can’t speak out mind what good is it? I’m
      Sure she knows precisely what she looks like. If she is happy, doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. If we think it’s unsightly, maybe others can be aware of the General consensus and steer clear of it. I would never set out to hurt anyone’s feelings but she clearly gave her consent to have her photo used.

    I had threads a while ago, at a reputable clinic in London. Everything I read about the procedure said it was "minimally invasive." Minimally invasive my arse. It was incredibly painful, took 10 days to recover fully, 4 weeks to get to a "finished" result, and was very expensive. I was happy with the result, and it has lasted a lot longer than fillers, but unless I had unlimited funds and was signing up for a whole programme of treatments over a period of a year or so to set me up for the next 5 years of my life, of which threads were a part, I'm really not sure I'd have it done again.

    I’ve had threads done twice (5 & 10 years ago) and the results were subtle but improved over the months and lasted 2-3 years (I am 63). If you are older with jowls and looser skin on the neck the results are much better, this model I don’t think needed them (no downturns at corner of mouth to pull up) and looked quite young. Mine were done in one session and I had little bruising or swelling - getting silhouette threads done in 2 days. Yes it is expensive but not ready for a face lift ($3,000 and $5,000 in Australia) and I go to a cosmetic full surgery doctor.

    Plastic surgeons Rn assistant here. I hate thread lifts. Hate them! I’ve seen patients two-three years later whose threads have literally sawn through their cheeks and they are left with a near impossible to correct sinus tract. Yes! A tract that drains saliva outside the wound and down the cheek possibly forever! One woman, who was also a friend, had an open wound for 5 year until a plastic surgeon finally agree to do radical surgery to repair it. She is permanently disfigured. Don’t have a thread lift. It’s not worth it. Even when they “work” they look like shit.

    I think she looked great before the procedure. It also seems that the interventions are never ending. Even after the lift, you mentioned a long list of other procedures you would perform on her. When does it end? When is it enough? When are we happy with our face? If you dissect the face piece by piece, like you did here, a person will never be content and happy with their appearance no matter how many procedures they do.

    Hmmm...she looked better before. I mean, she does maybe look a tiny bit YOUNGER, but her face shape was more flattering before. Could you please do a review or video on Profound for jowl tightening? I think that's really my only option that might accomplish something short of a facelift on my lower face but it is SO expensive.

    • @ashleys6498
      @ashleys6498 Pƙed 5 lety +3

      Agree but It's a slightly misleading image. Her face is slightly tilted down in the after pic and she is wearing her headband lower which makes her face look shorter. It probably looked better in real life

    I can’t agree with you enough, the only place where the threads have good results is her neck. I think fillers and toxin would’ve given her much more of the results she wanted. I now have a much better understanding of why you don’t like doing these! Thank you for keeping us so well educated, and for all of the information at the beginning of the video and not just diving into the procedure.

    46 year old here, and I think a problem a lot of people have when it comes to peels, plastic surgery, etc, is that they want to look *younger* and not simply “better.” The model in this procedure did look younger after. Having a shorter, more elfin face makes one look younger. But, as you point out, she might have looked “better” with different procedures. Perhaps some people want to do one big thing rather than several small things?
    I recently found myself feeling that I looked too old and drawn, so I renewed my motivation to get microdermabrasion, and also decided to start wearing my hair long and down. With long hair, I no longer notice my long face, LOL! Sometimes it makes more sense to revamp your look or personal style, rather than trying to change the shape of your face.

    Firstly, I LOVE your total honesty .... and your great SOH!! Thanks for managing to make me smile in virtually every video! I'd also have total confidence in your recommendation but as I live in Australia, I can't see myself coming to London for treatment, especially as I expect that you are booked up years ahead just with your 'regular' patients. Mind you, I watch your videos with a couple of my friends and we would all love to have you living here! :) I have a Bells Palsy thanks to CIDP and am fed up with constantly being asked if I've had a stroke. The nasolabial fold appears to be quite dropped because the other side has remained quite good .. I'm 67 and am regularly told that I look 10 to 15 years younger (not that I can see it) apart from the 'stroke' effect. My doctor suggested that I'd be better off with thread lifting than Botox, fillers, etc., what type of thread would you suggest for the fold? I'm also aware that there are solvable threads , however with a limited budget, I wouldn't envisage having it repeated down the track. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Yeah... no. Though she did get a decrease in the crepe neck, the rest of her face now looks to wide. Not a fan of thread lifts. With the amount of time it takes to settle down and the real possibilities of fistula formation. A mini lift and more conservative treatments and fillers seem the wiser choice to me.

    Hi :) do you think, that using only the small 2-3cm ones in the neck could be enough for the exact same result - without the barbed ones - by using maybe if needed just more pieces (or adding screw ones)? I would think just because they seem less invasive and secondly in the neck you work only vertically, so might not be necessary always to use the larger barbed ones. đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™€ïž What is your experience?

    Very informative. I guess I never knew what a "thread lift' was actually. I certainly see some lift apparent, a bit similar to that old trick of smooshing your face up to mimic a facelift but also see that filler is probably needed to address some areas too,

      Faranak Peart I’m not a doctor, but I would say make sure you go to a good doctor and don’t feel rushed into it. Try going to a doctor just for a consultation and if you’re not comfortable with them or are still not sure if you actually want to do it yet just tell them you want to think about it a bit more.

    I almost got a thread lift years ago and went to a extremely well-known plastic surgeon in Charleston South Carolina. He said please do not consider doing a thread lift he said that he did more surgeries to remove them then a actual face lift. As the years go by they start to look worse and worse and you can feel them inside and women want them out. So I would recommend never going that routeïżŒ

    Does filling the chin crease work for everyone or does it look bad on some? My chin crease was filled with 0.3 ml HA. I hated it and it took away the look of my pouty lower lip and made my chin appear longer.
    It's been dissolved now. The filler was injected gradually and with 0.2 ml I couldn't see any change yet, but with a little more, it gave a look I didn't like. Is it possible to have the crease filled without it being at the expense of the surrounding features? Is it down to technique?

    • @DrSarahTonks
      @DrSarahTonks  Pƙed 3 lety

      Adding filler to the chin crease will elongate the chin slightly yes. It depends what your chin looks like to begin with because if its already long then adding filler might not be favourable, but if it is short then you can get away with adding more. You can find this out by measuring the facial thirds.

    I would do both threads and fillers, depending on the area. For the neck the threads were awesome and she has to insist on them to keep the jowl in good shape. But no need for the face unless some time passes and we see an updated pic with the progress. I see a nice smooth forehead and very good skin, the problematic area is mostly the eyes where the skin is loose. Maybe she is afraid of doing anything too close to the eyes? I would tell her to go for a small tweak at least.

    I had mono threads under my eyes and a few years before I had fillers in the same area. Honestly I think fillers gave better results with almost no downtime. I never bruise after fillers or Botox, but the monothreads left me with bad bruising that took 2 weeks to fade away. Results were very subtile, so I’m not sure it was worth it. Especially because I have bad under eye circles that mono threads are not able to tackle.

      Dr Sarah Tonks I yet to see something that works under the eyes 100%. The first doctor used too much product eyes looked a bit puffy first. It looked great after about 8 months or so. Couple of years later, the second time, the fillers left the under eye area uneven and the darkness faded only slightly. I tried two different doctors. Now I have been going to a third one for a year or so for Botox but she is reluctant to do fillers under the eye. So was another one whom I went to consultation for. I reckon fillers under the eyes are tricky to do so doctors don’t particularly like to carry out this procedure. I am also not super pushy because after all the area is not THAT bad (it will be once I hit 40 - runs in the family) and I’m worried about the potential risks of loosing eyesight due to error in procedure.

    Sarah, interesting, I had threads done when they first came out, the barbed type. I only had 2 on each side of my face, they are from chin to temple. I must have been lucky because I had no bruising and very little swelling. I did have a barb that caused a bump on my jaw and my derm removed it, I have a tiny scar there. I still have injections and botox but feel they have kept me from having major sagging. How do you feel about cheek implants. I'm considering them in the future and there is a lip lift that looks interesting. I'm on hold with my injections, I want some around my mouth and lips but I'm having dental inplants placed in March and I'm afraid of displacing the filler. I like the Voluma products and I already purchased them just on hold till later. I'm " under construction".
