Eye Lift (Cat Eye or Fox Eye Lift)
A non-surgical eye lift method called Thread Lift smoothens drooping eyes. This procedure has become a popular choice for skin-lifting procedures all around the world. Thread lifts are one of the most famous non-surgical procedures aimed at lifting and rejuvenating dangling skin on the face, eyes, jawline and chin. Absorbable threads are used in this procedure to lift the eyes to enhance natural collagen production and smoothen the wrinkles while also improving the overall texture of skin making your skin younger.
Our skin changes significantly as we age, leading to loosen skin that can be difficult to hide and cause drooping and bags. Even though a standard eye lift provides a long-term fix, many people find surgery to be frightening. A cutting-edge non-surgical option for eye rejuvenation is offered with thread lifts. Without requiring surgery, you can significantly improve your appearance and lessen the effects of aging using a procedure called a thread lift.
A non-surgical thread lift is a great way to treat several issues:
– Adding volume and lifting to drooping cheeks
– Raising drooping eyebrows – Revitalizing nasolabial creases and marionette lines
– Giving the lips fullness
– Encouraging and bolstering the neck region
– Reducing facial and brow asymmetry
– Lifting and revitalizing the jowl region – Diminishing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines
Procedure:
To start with this procedure, you need to discuss your expectations and medical history with Dr Hussain. After the discussion, you need to sign a consent form after which topical anesthesia will be applied to reduce pain and discomfort and eyes will be cleansed. Local anesthesia is then administered to the desired area to ensure a smooth and painless procedure. Needle or cannula will be used by Dr Hussain to insert threads under the skin by ensuring that the threads are placed in the desired area of skin to have an optimal result. Skin tissues are then anchored by the tiny barbs. Upon insertion of threads, they are smoothly pulled to life the skin. Ends of thread are secured under the skin while excess in trimmed. It takes around 30 minutes to complete the procedure.
Cost: Typically ranges from $800 to $2,500.
