Over time, the eye area is where early signs of aging appear, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of firmness. Among the various rejuvenation methods, thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure chosen by many due to its ability to lift skin tissue and stimulate collagen production. So, is thread lifting truly effective and suitable for whom? Let’s find out with Dr Xuan Quan Clinic in the article below.
What is thread lifting for the eyelids?
Thread lifting is a non-surgical eye rejuvenation method that uses biodegradable threads inserted under the skin to lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production. So, what are the benefits of thread lifting for the eye area?
- Lifting sagging skin: Helps improve the condition of the lower eyelids or the outer corners of the eyes that are starting to sag due to aging.
- Reducing wrinkles around the eyes: Helps reduce fine wrinkles, especially crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.
- Stimulating collagen production: After thread implantation, the body will produce natural collagen and elastin, helping the skin become firmer and more elastic over time.
- Natural eye area rejuvenation: The eye area becomes fresher, firmer, and smoother while maintaining a natural expression, without feeling stiff or unnatural.
Who is suitable for thread lifting around the eyes?
This method is usually most effective for mild to moderate aging, when the skin around the eyes begins to show signs of sagging but doesn’t yet require surgery.
- For those with wrinkles around the eyes: Suitable for cases with crow’s feet or small wrinkles around the eyes due to age.
- For those with mildly sagging lower eyelids: When the skin under the eyes begins to sag but there isn’t too much excess skin, thread lifting can help lift and improve firmness.
- For those over 30 showing signs of aging: This is the stage where collagen and elastin decline, causing the eye area to lose elasticity. Thread lifting helps slow down the aging process and maintain a youthful appearance.
- For those who want rejuvenation but don’t want surgery: If you want to improve the eye area with a quick procedure, minimal invasiveness, and a short recovery time, thread lifting is a worthwhile option.
Is thread lifting safe? What are the potential risks?
Thread lifting is considered a minimally invasive and highly safe rejuvenation method when performed correctly using standard biodegradable threads. However, like any cosmetic procedure, it can still carry some risks if performed at an unqualified facility or if post-procedure care is improper.
Although the complication rate is not high, you may still experience some of the following:
- Swelling and mild bruising: This is a normal bodily reaction and usually subsides after a few days.
- Pain or tightness around the eyes: May appear initially but will gradually improve.
- Infection: Often occurs if sterile procedures are not followed or post-procedure care is improper.
- Thread exposure or displacement: May occur when the technique is incorrect or the eye area is subjected to strong pressure after the procedure.
- Uneven results: The two eyes may not be symmetrical if the doctor’s assessment and shaping are not appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions about thread lifting
If you’re considering getting a thread lift, you likely have many questions about its effectiveness, safety, and duration. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions from our clients.
Is thread lifting for the eyelids painful?
During the procedure, the doctor will numb the treatment area, so you will feel almost no pain. After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience some tightness or slight swelling for the first few days.
How long do the results of thread lifting around the eyes last?
Typically, the effects of thread lifting around the eyes can last from 1 to 3 years, depending on the type of thread used, individual body characteristics, and post-procedure care.
Will thread lifting around the eyes leave scars?
No. This method uses only a specialized needle to insert the thread under the skin, so it doesn’t create large incisions and leaves virtually no scars if performed correctly.
Can thread lifting replace surgery?
Not entirely. Thread lifts are suitable for mild to moderate signs of aging. If there is significant excess skin or large eye bags, your doctor may advise surgery for better results.
At what age should one consider getting a thread lift?
Typically, between the ages of 30 and 40, when wrinkles and slight sagging skin begin to appear around the eyes, you can consider thread lifting to slow down the aging process.
How long after thread lift surgery will the results look good?
The swelling around the eyes usually subsides after about 3-7 days and gradually stabilizes over the next few weeks. The rejuvenating effect will be more noticeable as collagen production increases after about 1-3 months.
Will thread lifting cause a loss of natural facial expressions?
If performed correctly and with proper shaping, thread lifting only helps to lift sagging skin around the eyes while maintaining a natural facial expression.
Does a thread lift require a recovery period?
Most clients only need 1-2 days of rest and can return to light activities and work immediately afterward. However, strenuous exercise and pressure on the eye area should be avoided in the initial period to achieve the best results.
