Thread Lift is a procedure which involves elevating different parts of the face using special threads without having to make surgical incisions as with a classic face lift. Thread Lift may be marketed under a variety of names including, APTOS®Thread Lift, Contour Lift, Silk Lift™, Feather Lift™ etc. There are two main types of threads or sutures used: Free floating cogged or barbed threads which do not need to be suspended in order to hold the lift; and smooth or suspension threads which need to be anchored to a stable structure of the face or scalp. This procedure is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-thirties to fifties. Thread Lift is usually performed using a local anaesthetic. Recovery is generally quick. Private costs for a thread lift vary depending on the area(s) being treated and can start from approximately £1,500 for one area.

We would like to thank Dr Lucy Glancey for her expert medical help.

"Being a Healthcare professional , I am very careful and particular where I go for any health issues. I had been troubled by some very ugly thread veins on the tip of my nose and surrounding tissues. The level of service and the results achieved by Rozina were excellent, her attentive, friendly and professional manner was first class, I would highly recommend her."

"I am so pleased that I found Dr Nabilah Chowdhury. She was incredibly competent, informative and patient; being a professional GP, she thoroughly helped alleviate my nerves for my first major PDO thread treatment.

The results are truly amazing. I'm so delighted I went through with it. It has restored a much more youthful look around my cheeks, mouth and jaw as well as improving my skin tone, plus this is only the start of the improvement process and i have already been told numerous times how well I look!!

Dr Nabilah always offers the best advice and I trust her completely, knowing she will offer the most appropriate treatment. Her expertise is admirable and importantly, she made the procedure as pain free as possible.

I have already been back for other treatments."
