Thread Lifts with surgeon, Deirdre Seoighe

Information about Thread Lifts:

If you’re looking to rejuvenate your appearance and achieve a more youthful look, you’ve come to the right place. Dr Seoighe specializes in the transformative thread lift procedure, a non-surgical facelift technique that can turn back the hands of time.

What is a Threadlift? A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, particularly in the face and neck areas. It involves the use of biodegradable sutures, or threads, strategically placed under the skin to lift and reposition the underlying tissues. This innovative technique provides a natural-looking lift without the need for extensive surgery or downtime.

Why Choose Dr. Deirdre Seoighe? Dr Seoighe is a highly skilled plastic surgeon with years of experience and a strong passion for delivering exceptional results. She takes a personalized approach to each patient, carefully assessing their unique needs and goals before creating a customized treatment plan. With her expertise and attention to detail, you can trust that you are in capable hands.

The Threadlift Procedure: During the thread lift procedure, Dr Seoighe will first administer local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. She will then make tiny incisions in strategic locations, through which she will insert the threads. These threads will be gently manoeuvred to lift and tighten the targeted areas, effectively restoring youthful contours to your face.

As the threads are positioned, they stimulate the production of collagen, a key protein that promotes skin elasticity and firmness. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve, leaving behind a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. The procedure typically takes around one to two hours, and you can expect minimal discomfort and downtime.

Benefits of a Threadlift: A thread lift offers numerous benefits that make it an attractive alternative to traditional facelift surgery:

Non-surgical: The procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques, eliminating the need for extensive incisions or general anaesthesia.
Natural-looking results: The lift provided by the threads is subtle and natural-looking, enhancing your features without an overdone appearance.
Quick recovery: Compared to traditional facelift surgery, the recovery time is significantly shorter, allowing you to return to your daily activities sooner.
Collagen stimulation: The threads stimulate collagen production, further improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall youthfulness.

Following the procedure:

After undergoing a thread lift procedure, it’s important to know what to expect during the recovery process. While the thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment, there are some key aspects to keep in mind as you embark on your journey to a rejuvenated appearance.

1. Immediate Effects: Following the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and redness in the treated areas. These are common and
typically resolve within a few days. Applying cold compresses and taking over-the-counter pain relievers as directed by your surgeon can help manage any
discomfort.

2. Downtime: One of the advantages of a thread lift is its minimal downtime. Most individuals can resume their regular activities within a day or two, although it’s essential to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may strain the treated areas for about two weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your situation.

3. Results: While you may notice an immediate improvement in your appearance after the thread lift, it’s important to remember that the full results will gradually develop over time. The threads used in the procedure stimulate collagen production, leading to enhanced skin firmness and texture in the months following the treatment.

4. Follow-up Appointments: Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing. During these visits, any necessary adjustments or additional treatments can be discussed, if required, to maximize your desired outcome.

5. Longevity: The longevity of thread lift results varies from person to person. Typically, the effects can last up to 1-2 years, depending on factors such as the type of threads used, your skin’s natural aging process, and lifestyle habits. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including protecting your skin from sun exposure and following a good skincare regimen, can help extend the results.

6. Potential Side Effects: Although rare, there are potential side effects associated with thread lift procedures. These may include infection, asymmetry, temporary dimpling or puckering of the skin, or visibility or palpability of the threads. It’s crucial to promptly contact your surgeon if you experience any concerning or unexpected symptoms.

Further Information:

Remember, every individual’s experience may vary, and it’s important to consult with your plastic surgeon for personalized guidance and to address any specific concerns you may have. By following post-operative instructions and maintaining open communication with your surgeon, you can navigate the recovery process with confidence, knowing you’re on the path to achieving your desired rejuvenation goals.
