Mid-Face Thread Lift is a non-surgical lifting procedure designed to elevate sagging cheek tissue and improve mid-face support. By repositioning drooping tissue using absorbable lifting threads, this treatment helps restore youthful cheek contours and soften the appearance of nasolabial folds without surgery.

What Is a Mid-Face Thread Lift?

A Mid-Face Thread Lift involves placing medical-grade, absorbable threads beneath the skin in the cheek and mid-face region. These threads provide immediate mechanical lift while stimulating collagen production, improving facial structure and skin firmness over time.

• Have sagging or drooping cheeks
