One treatment that often comes up in this context is the thread lift. On social media and various websites, this treatment is presented as a simple way to lift sagging skin without surgery. However, Aepril Clinics has made a conscious decision not to perform thread lifts. Why? Because we believe that the potential benefits often do not outweigh the risks, complications, and the relatively temporary results. In this article, we explain why.      <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\" id=\"draadlift-complicaties-alternatief-aepril-clinics.webp\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ads-verticaal-geen-actie-juli-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15744 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ads-verticaal-geen-actie-juli-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ads-verticaal-geen-actie-juli-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ads-verticaal-geen-actie-juli-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ads-verticaal-geen-actie-juli-864x1536.png 864w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ads-verticaal-geen-actie-juli-152x270.png 152w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ads-verticaal-geen-actie-juli.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is it?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a thread lift treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a thread lift, dissolvable sutures are placed under the skin.

Asymmetry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The face may become lopsided when one side reacts differently than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Pain and prolonged sensitivity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some patients experience pain or a pulling sensation for weeks to months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Visible or palpable wires<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the skin is thin, the threads may become visible or remain palpable under the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Infections<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because a foreign material is being inserted into the body, there is always a risk of infection. In severe cases, the wires must be surgically removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Skin folds and irregularities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After treatment, dimples, creases, or an unnatural pulling sensation may occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Moving the wire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A thread may shift or come loose, causing the result to disappear or become asymmetrical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Nerve irritation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although rare, nerves can become irritated, which can cause temporary changes in sensation or muscle problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. Difficult removal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a wire causes problems, it is often difficult to remove it completely.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">the truth<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Summary of Key Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a thread lift last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many advertisements mention results that take two to five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reality, we often find that the lifting effect is visible for a significantly shorter period of time. In many patients, the cosmetic results begin to diminish noticeably within just a few months. Although collagen stimulation may persist for longer, the visible lifting effect is usually limited.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, repeat treatments are often necessary to maintain the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a thread lift last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A thread lift is not necessarily a dangerous procedure when performed correctly by an experienced doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, it\u2019s important to realize that this is a medical procedure with real risks. The risk of complications is higher than with many injectable treatments, such as biostimulators or skin boosters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why we believe that patients should always be fully informed about both the benefits and the risks.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1015 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BN4A9197-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8565-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4364 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8565-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8565-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8565-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8565-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8565-203x270.jpg 203w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8565-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">alternatives<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What alternatives do we recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone mentions during a consultation that they\u2019d like a subtle lifting effect without surgery, we often recommend a treatment that improves skin quality and naturally supports the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the cause of volume loss or sagging skin, the following may be considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/skin-improvement\/radiesse-hyperdiluted\/\" type=\"behandeling\" id=\"2672\">Radiesse Hyperdiluted<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer and gradually improving its appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>jawline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>neck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cheeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>skin firming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/skin-improvement\/belotero-revive-treatment\/\" type=\"behandeling\" id=\"1473\">Sculptra<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stimulates the body&#8217;s natural production of collagen, gradually restoring firmness and volume to the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recommended for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>loss of volume<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sagging skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>facial aging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/skin-improvement\/profhilo-structura\/\" type=\"behandeling\" id=\"5415\">Profhilo Structura<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developed for patients with reduced fat compartments in the face.
