What is a face lift thread tear?

In the cosmetic procedure thread face lift, a series of medical threads with the help of special needles enter the skin tissue and help to lift it by holding the skin. In some cases, rarely, these threads may tear or so-called break after entering the skin. As a result, the rupture of the face lift thread means the destruction of the structures created by the threads in the skin tissue. This condition destroys the face lift and usually causes some complications and symptoms.

Causes of facial lift thread breakage

Facial lift thread tearing is a rare complication and does not always happen. Some specific reasons can cause such a problem after treatment. The most important is the type of thread that is used for face lift. Using the wrong thread, especially not using the right thread based on the age and thickness of the client's skin, can increase the possibility of tearing the face lift threads.

In addition, the use of inappropriate technique and the lack of skill of the doctor who performs the face lift directly affects the occurrence of such a complication. Another important issue that can cause threads to stretch and tear is not following the care after treatment. It is very important to follow the instructions given to you by the doctor to prevent the tear of the face lift thread.

1. Hit or pull

The threads that are placed in the skin tissue should not be under too much pressure and tension. If the person moves his facial muscles too much after the treatment or has a high level of activity, the possibility of tearing the face lift thread increases. Factors such as inappropriate or excessive massage of the face after a face lift, or external impact and pressure on the face, can all cause the thread of the face lift to tear.

2. Improper thread quality

For thread face lift, the appropriate thread must be used based on the client's skin type. The use of inappropriate and, most importantly, poor quality threads is one of the most important reasons for face lift thread breakage. Threads that are not of good quality may tear easily and cause many problems. The quality of the threads used affects their durability. For example, PDO yarns are very prone to tearing if they are not of good quality. The more high quality and stronger threads we use for face lift, the less likely the threads will break or tear.

3. Improper technique

One of the important reasons for face lift thread breakage after treatment is the use of improper technique for placing the threads in the skin tissue. Improper placement of threads causes them to stretch too much. As a result of excessive thread tension, there is a possibility of tearing or breaking them. For this reason, a face lift with threads must be performed by a skilled doctor to minimize the risk of side effects such as thread breakage.

Symptoms of facial lift thread tearing

When the lift threads are torn in the skin tissue, they can cause a series of complications and symptoms, according to which you can notice the tear of the face lift thread. These symptoms are very important and you should see a doctor immediately if you have any of these symptoms. Timely diagnosis is necessary to speed up the repair and treatment of face lift thread tears. From pain and discomfort in the face to symptoms such as asymmetry of the facial skin or sagging and abnormal swelling in the skin, all can indicate the rupture of the face lift thread. These symptoms include:

• Swelling and inflammation in the treatment area
• Changes in facial appearance and asymmetry
• Feeling pain and discomfort in the treatment area
• Observing thread protruding from the skin
• Bruising and bleeding

1. Swelling and inflammation in the treatment area

Inflammation and swelling in the face after a thread lift is a common complication that should resolve after a few days with the instructions given by the doctor for treatment of facial swelling after a thread lift. But if the face lift threads are torn, this swelling and inflammation becomes more intense and may continue for several days. For this reason, if you see bruises or unusual swelling in parts of the face that lasts for several days, you should definitely visit your doctor.

2. Changes in facial appearance and asymmetry

When the threads used in the skin tissue are torn, the lifting and stretching effect created by the threads is lost; Therefore, the skin sags again and returns to its previous state. For this reason, asymmetry may appear in the face and you may feel changes in the appearance of the face. For example, depending on which part of the face the threads are torn, one side of the face may be sagging while the other side still maintains its lifting effect. Changes in the lines of the jaw and face, the presence of abnormal protrusions or depressions in different parts of the face, and such things can all indicate the rupture of the face lift thread. Other cases of thread breakage include uneven skin surface or the formation of small bumps in the treated area. Such twists may occur in places where the thread is twisted or stuck together due to breakage.

3. Pain and discomfort in the treatment area

If the face lift thread breaks, a severe stretch is created in the skin tissue, which can be painful and uncomfortable. For this reason, another important sign of facial lift thread rupture after treatment is the feeling of severe pain and discomfort in different parts of the face. Usually, when the threads break in parts of the skin, you feel an asymmetric pressure in different parts of the face. Sometimes this tear can cause sensitivity to touch or severe burning in parts of the skin. Sometimes even by doing simple things like laughing or moving facial muscles, a person experiences severe pain.

4. Seeing the thread protruding from the skin

Facial lift thread rupture may be associated with the direct observation of the thread protruding from under the skin, which indicates mechanical failure and the thread protruding from the implant site. If the threads are placed too close to the surface of the skin, they may protrude from the skin due to facial movements or external pressure. This condition can lead to local inflammation, infection, and redness, and is often accompanied by pain and swelling. According to scientific articles, this symptom requires immediate examination and sometimes removing the thread to prevent further complications. Early diagnosis of thread breakage plays an important role in preventing future problems.

5. Incidence of bruising and bleeding

Sometimes, the tear of the facelift thread may damage the skin tissues and the thin blood vessels around it, and this causes bruises and subcutaneous bleeding in the treated areas. For this reason, another possible sign of face lift thread breakage is bruising and bleeding in different parts of the skin.

Methods to repair the tear of lift thread

With a timely diagnosis of the tear of the face lift thread, you can immediately go to the doctor to solve the problems with the help of restorative and therapeutic methods. By examining and evaluating your condition, the doctor will determine the best method to repair the rupture of face lift threads. Sometimes these threads must be completely removed and replaced with new threads.

1. Use new threads if needed

After fully evaluating the condition and the degree of thread breakage, instead of removing the thread completely, the doctor may manipulate them a little and fix the problem by making a series of minor corrections such as adding new threads if needed. Gently massaging the affected area to help heal the skin and pave the way for a more even distribution of the threads is one of the other measures that the doctor performs to repair the tear of the face lift thread.

2. Remove the damaged lift thread

In cases where a particular thread is damaged and significantly affects the lift or overall beauty, the doctor will advise you to repeat the treatment. Usually, in this method, only the damaged thread is removed from the skin and by replacing it, the necessary corrections will be made.

Complications of face lift thread breakage

Facelift thread breakage, if not detected in time, can increase the risk of some thread facelift side effects. Complications such as pain and discomfort when laughing or talking, irregularity and asymmetry in the face, and drooping and loosening of the skin are some of the common complications of face lift thread tearing. In some cases, the treatment must be repeated and the torn thread needs to be removed. The most important and serious complication that the threads may cause is the risk of infection and bleeding. Torn threads can create an entry point for bacteria and increase the risk of infection.

Care after the repair of thread lift tear

However, if you notice the signs of facial lift thread tearing, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to assess the condition and perform the necessary restorative treatments. However, it is very important to follow a series of care instructions after the face lift thread breaks, to reduce the risk of more side effects.
