Walk back the sagging skin and loss of elasticity that all too often comes with the aging process, and start looking as young as you feel! If you live in the Richmond, Midlothian and surrounding areas of Virginia, contact us to schedule your personal consultation.
As we age, it’s not at all uncommon to notice drooping features, sagging skin, and the overall effects of a loss of elasticity in the face and neck. But not everyone wants to undergo a full facelift procedure. We’re excited to offer the thread lift procedure, a non-surgical procedure that can give you a fresher, youthful appearance in your face and neck, without the extended recovery period that comes with many surgeries.
What Exactly Is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift utilizes the placement of small sutures under the skin in your face and neck, which not only provide a lifting effect to the skin of the area...but also encourage your body to naturally produce collagen and other healing factors that strengthen and rejuvenate the skin in the area.
What Are the Benefits of a Thread Lift?
A thread lift procedure can help you look younger and create a natural, more attractive appearance by smoothing and lifting skin that has begun to sag or lose its elasticity. Our patients especially love the thread lift because it doesn’t require any downtime or recovery period, as you’d have with a facelift.
Am I the Ideal Candidate for a Thread Lift?
You might be the perfect candidate for a thread lift if you:
- Are in your late 30s to early 50s
- Are unable to have surgery
- Would prefer not to endure a longer recovery time
- Are looking to have your youthful glow restore to your neck and face
- Would rather not deal with general anesthesia

Contact UsWhat Do I Need to Do Before Having a Thread Lift?
Before your thread lift procedure, an in-person consultation with one of the board certified surgeons here at Richmond Plastic Surgeons will ensure that all your questions are answered, and all of your concerns are addressed. We’ll walk you through the entire procedure, so you feel safe and comfortable every step of the way.
What Should I Expect on The Day of My Thread Lift?
You’ll be given local anesthesia, to numb the area, while your surgeon places small, temporary sutures underneath the skin of your desired area. The process is quite quick and easy, and is minimally invasive. You’ll even be able to drive yourself home afterwards!
