Thread lift or thread facelift is a type of facial cosmetic surgery procedure in which temporary sutures ("threads") are used to produce a minimal but visible lifting in the skin. Instead of removing the loose facial skin surgically through facelift procedure, in thread lift, the surgeon suspends the sagging skin by stitching up it.

Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure that improves the face shape against visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Those common and also natural signs of aging include sagging skin, deepening of the fold lines between the nose and corner of the mouth, jowls developing in the cheeks and jaw, fallen or disappeared fat and double chin.
