The procedure lasts around one hour, one hour and 15 minutes, of which 15 minutes are needed for the anaesthesia to take effect. A few hours after the operation the patient can go home, and recovery is rapid, in a maximum of eight days any trace of oedema or haematoma disappears (which are very rare). The effects of the thread and lift procedure are immediately visible.
