What is thread lifting?
In the course of of life, our skin loses its elasticity. On the face this means that our cheeks “slip” forward (nasolabial fold) and downward (sagging cheeks) at the same time.
Nevertheless, surgery is often not desired or a total face lift is not yet necessary. The minimally invasive thread lift is an effective alternative in this case to fix the cheeks and our chin line upwards and backwards again and thus tighten them.
The thread lift uses polylactic acid or polydioxanone threads, which are painlessly and easily inserted into the displaced layer of the skin to reattach the sagging tissue.
In addition to gently pulling back the cheek, the thread also significantly stimulates the formation of new collagen in our skin and dissolves without leaving any residue after a few months. The skin remains firmer, however, as the body’s own collagen fibers are newly formed there.
What is a midface lift?
After a detailed consultation, I attach great importance to a natural appearance – the treatment is individualized and the goals are adapted to the respective patient. The thread is inserted painlessly under local anesthesia (one injection in the area where the thread enters) and the sagging tissue is fixed. When the threads are removed, the patient’s own collagen formation results in additional firming of the cheeks.
Since the local anesthetic injection takes place immediately before the treatment, the advantage of the midface lift is that the patient is finished with the treatment within 20 minutes without any pain.
The treated area is cooled immediately afterwards, the patient is immediately ready for use and usually has no downtime.
In order to achieve an optimal result, I recommend wearing a compression mask for the first 2-3 nights to optimally fix the skin in the desired position. This is available in my practice!
I use Silhouette-Soft!

Silhouette Soft is an effective thread lift that can be used to tighten the midface, jawline, eyebrows and neck. The result: firm skin and a fresh, youthful appearance!
Look natural, fresh and 10 years younger - in 30 minutes!
The treatment puts an end to tired, sagging skin and makes you look fresher and more youthful again in no time at all! Thread lifting focuses on the regeneration and strengthening of connective tissue and the recovery of the collagen support structure (bio-remodeling), as well as fixing sagging areas of the face back into their original position. The facial skin and underlying tissue are not only pulled into a new position, but also strengthened and supported. Your natural facial expression and facial expressions are retained.
The result is immediately visible: a natural-looking lift, without surgery, without anesthesia, without hospitalization and without downtime!

Important FAQs on skin tightening with thread lifting
What is such a thread made of?
In the past, the thread was made of gold (gold thread), today we use gentler materials such as polydioxanone or polylactic acid.
The advantage of these threads is that they dissolve completely after some time (in the course of approx. 10 months).
New collagen fibersare formed at the site of the original thread as a reaction –with the result of additional tightening by the body itself!
How does a thread lift in the cheek area work?
The thread is then inserted painlessly under local anesthesia (a small syringe in the area where the thread enters) and thus fixes the sagging tissue; as it breaks down, its own collagen formation leads to additional firming of the cheeks.
What is the difference between the individual threads?
A distinction is made between threads for tightening the skin (e.g. PDO threads), which are often placed in larger numbers in the areas to be tightened, e.g. to tighten the tissue on the thigh, upper arm and neck. No traction is applied here, the aim is to produce collagen – the result is delicate, natural and can be expected after approx. 2 months. If traction of certain skin areas is desired, threads with tiny hooks, claws or so-called “cones” are suitable for achieving the desired effect in the skin.
The PDO thread lift uses a large number of small threads that are placed under the skin and tighten the thighs and neck in particular. The effect is visible after 6-8 weeks visible.
V-line threads are ideal for a mid-face lift, i.e. the cheek area. They are fixed in place with a gentle pull and promise an immediately visible result that guarantees a long-lasting, fresh appearance.
The strongest Silhouette Soft threads are used in the chin line and upper arm area, as more tension is required here to achieve a perfect result.
Can complications occur as a result of thread lifting?
Is the thread lift painful?
Thread lifting for skin tightening is virtually painless thanks to the use of a special cold spray. A local anesthetic is used at three points on the face and the insertion of the thread under the skin is only noticeable as a slight tugging sensation.
At what age can a thread lift be performed?
A thread lift can be used from the moment the first sagging cheeks or drooping jowls appear. In general, however, the treatment should not be performed under the age of 25.
What is special about thread lifting?
The thread lift is a face lift without surgery. It is a gentle Tightening within 30 minutes! The treatment is particularly suitable for first signs of aging, ideal for anyone who does not want surgery.
Is it necessary to carry out a tolerance test before the thread lift?
The materials used in my practice are exclusively certified and well tolerated by all skin types and are therefore hypoallergenic.
Can it happen that the face looks "over-lifted" after the thread lift?
In contrast to the more “aggressive” surgical lifts, a natural effect can always be expected with the thread lift, the tension of the tissue is approximately 0.5-1 cm – depending on the type of thread lift in question.
