At Forever Ageless in Newport Beach, our clients are thrilled with the results we achieve with our Newport Beach threadlift. Silhouette InstaLift sutures are a fast treatment that takes years off your appearance by gently lifting the skin and tissue in the mid-face region. The lifting action is immediate – but very natural and discreet – and brings an added benefit by stimulating increased collagen production for firmer, more supple skin in the weeks and months ahead.
How Does a Thread Lift Work?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses thin sutures with tiny cones to subtly lift and reposition sagging skin. The procedure begins by placing these threads into the deeper layers of the skin, typically in the mid-face area, where aging often causes skin to lose its firmness. The small cones, called "medial cones," anchor the threads in place, allowing them to provide a gentle but effective lift by pulling the tissue back into a more youthful position.
The threads used in a thread lift are adjustable, which allows for a customized lift that matches each patient’s aesthetic goals. The result is a rejuvenated look that is subtle yet noticeable, offering an alternative to more invasive procedures like facelifts..

Am I a Candidate for a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is ideal for individuals experiencing early to moderate signs of aging, such as mild sagging or loss of skin elasticity, particularly in areas like the cheeks, jawline, or neck. Typically, candidates are between the ages of 30 and 55, as this age range often maintains sufficient skin elasticity to respond well to the procedure.
This treatment is well-suited for those seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation without the need for invasive surgery. It's also an excellent option for individuals who have previously undergone surgical facelifts and wish to refresh or maintain their results. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and desire a non-surgical solution to address signs of aging.
What to Expect During Your Thread Lift
A thread lift at Forever Ageless begins with a consultation where Dr. Joe Cerni will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. After cleansing the treatment area and applying a local anesthetic, Dr. Cerni inserts Silhouette InstaLift sutures beneath your skin. These threads, equipped with tiny cones, gently lift the tissue and stimulate collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.
The threads are adjustable, allowing Dr. Cerni to precisely sculpt your facial contours for a natural, youthful look. After achieving the desired lift, the threads are trimmed, and you’ll receive aftercare instructions. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, and throughout the process, you can expect a professional, comfortable experience with Dr. Cerni’s expert care.
Recovery After Your Thread Lift
Following your treatment, you may experience some minor pain, swelling, or bruising. However, most patients find these side effects to be minimal, thanks to the careful technique used by Dr. Cerni during the procedure. You will begin to notice a rejuvenated appearance, as the treatment restores your skin to a more youthful, lifted look. To achieve the best possible results, it's important to follow the aftercare instructions provided, including:
- Apply cold packs after treatment if needed.
- Take Tylenol (acetaminophen) if you experience any pain.
- Cosmetics can be applied after 24 hours.
- Sleep on your back, with extra pillows for elevation for three to five days.

- No high impact sports for two weeks.

Thread Lift FAQs
Is a thread lift painful??
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Can a thread lift replace a facelift?
While a thread lift offers significant lifting and rejuvenation, it is not a complete substitute for a surgical facelift. It provides a less invasive option with natural-looking results.
How do I prepare for a thread lift?
Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and strenuous activities for a few days before the procedure. Dr. Cerni will provide specific instructions during your consultation.
How many threads will I need?
The number of threads varies based on the treatment area and desired outcome. Dr. Cerni will assess and recommend the appropriate number during your consultation.
Is there any scarring after a thread lift?
Because the threads are inserted through tiny entry points, scarring is minimal. Any scarring that does occur is usually hidden in natural creases and will fade over time.
Are thread lifts permanent?
Thread lifts offer long-lasting results, but they are not permanent. Over time, the threads dissolve, and the skin continues to age naturally. The effects can last up to 18 months, depending on individual factors.
