Brow Lift (Thread Lift)
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description:
A brow lift using thread lift technology is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper face, lifting sagging eyebrows, smoothing forehead lines, and enhancing overall facial harmony. Unlike traditional brow lifts, which often require surgical incisions, a thread lift employs medical-grade, absorbable threads that are carefully inserted under the skin. These threads create a subtle lift by physically repositioning tissues and stimulating collagen production in the treated area. The result is a naturally youthful and refreshed look, with minimal downtime and a faster recovery than traditional surgery.
The process begins with the application of local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a comfortable experience. Aesthetic threads, made from materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), polycaprolactone (PCL), or polylactic acid (PLA), are introduced through a series of small punctures in specific locations around the brow and forehead. These threads are carefully maneuvered under the skin to lift and secure the tissue, restoring a more defined brow arch and an open-eyed appearance. Over the following months, the body absorbs the threads naturally while collagen production increases, contributing to a gradual and sustained lifting effect.
The thread lift offers several customizable options for patients. Surgeons can adjust the placement and type of threads used based on individual facial anatomy and desired results. Thread lifts are often chosen by patients seeking subtle improvements without the commitment of invasive surgery, making them especially popular among individuals who are looking for a refreshed appearance with minimal impact on daily activities.
Procedure Duration:
The brow lift thread procedure typically lasts about 30-45 minutes, depending on the complexity and extent of the desired lift. Most patients can undergo the procedure as an outpatient, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. Before the threads are inserted, the doctor will spend around 10-15 minutes assessing the brow and forehead to determine optimal insertion points that will yield the best lifting effect and natural results.
Recovery from a brow thread lift is generally quick. After the procedure, minor bruising, swelling, or soreness may be experienced, but these effects usually subside within a week. Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and sleeping on their faces for the first few days to prevent any disruption of the threads. While some effects of the lift are immediately noticeable, the complete lifting effect becomes more pronounced as collagen builds over the next 2-3 months.
The results of a brow lift thread lift can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years, depending on the type of threads used and the individual's skin health and collagen production. At that point, patients can opt for a touch-up procedure to maintain their lifted appearance or explore additional aesthetic options if they seek further enhancement. The temporary nature of this procedure, combined with its low recovery time, makes it ideal for those exploring non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

Risks & Considerations:
- Bruising and Swelling: Temporary bruising or swelling at the insertion points is common, though it usually resolves within a few days.
- Thread Migration: In rare cases, threads may move slightly from their original placement, which could affect symmetry and require adjustment.
- Infection: As with any procedure involving skin punctures, there's a minor risk of infection; following post-procedure care instructions minimizes this risk.
- Allergic Reactions: While rare, some individuals may experience reactions to the materials in the threads, making it essential to choose high-quality, biocompatible threads.
- Temporary Discomfort: Some patients report mild pain or a pulling sensation following the procedure, though this typically resolves as the threads settle and tissue adjusts.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital:
When considering a brow lift thread procedure, selecting a qualified and experienced doctor is paramount to achieving safe and satisfactory results. Look for a specialist in aesthetic treatments, preferably one with extensive training in non-surgical facial procedures and an established portfolio of similar cases. Certification in plastic surgery or dermatology often indicates a strong background in facial aesthetics, although experience with thread lift techniques is equally important.
Research the hospital or clinic as well, prioritizing facilities that adhere to high standards of patient care and safety. Choose a facility equipped with advanced technology and staffed by trained support personnel. Additionally, online reviews, patient testimonials, and before-and-after photos can provide insights into the quality of work offered by the practitioner and the facility. This thorough selection process is essential to ensure a smooth, positive experience and to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome for your brow lift thread lift.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
