A suture facelift or thread lifting, may be suitable for younger and middle-aged patients who only have minor excess skin or volume loss. It is not recommended for people with excessively thin or dry skin. Dr Kernohan will need to assess your individual suitability for this type of treatment Non-surgical options, such as skin resurfacing (by chemical peel or laser treatments), may be undertaken either before or after facelift surgery. The aim of these treatments is to treat fine lines and wrinkles often seen on sun-damaged skin around the eyes, and the mouth, which are not removed by facelift surgery.
