What Is Lip Threading?

Lip threading is also known as a lip thread lift. This nonsurgical procedure uses small dissolvable threads to smooth out fine lines around your mouth and boost collagen production.

Unlike lip fillers that add volume to your lips, lip threading adds curve and definition, primarily to the cupid’s bow area of your upper lip.

Lip threading appeals to people who want a natural look, rather than the pouty, plump look that lip fillers provide.

Lip threads typically start to dissolve slowly around 3 months but the impact can last up to a year.

The flip enhances your natural look with fuller lips. The concept is similar to how Botox is used as a dermal filler. The Botox allows the muscles of the upper part of your lip to relax and flip outward, resulting in the appearance of fuller lips. It is an easier injection than traditional lip fillers. It can also ease the vertical lines around the lips.

What’s the Difference Between Lip Thread Lifts and Lip Fillers?

The lip thread lift is a way to subtly change the appearance of your lips. It’s an alternative to lip fillers and plastic surgery that boosts collagen in your body.

A lip thread lift is a simple procedure that involves using barbed sutures — threads that are usually used for surgery — to lift the skin. There are usually few risks or complications, and recovery is relatively fast. The results last 1 to 3 years.

Lip fillers use injections of substances such as hyaluronic acid (HA). A surgeon or dermatologist injects the fillers with a needle, and the results last 1 to 2 years.

How Are Lip Thread Lifts Done?

A plastic surgeon or dermatologist does a lip thread lift by putting threads through the skin next to the lip line with a long tube called a cannula.‌‌‌

The lip thread lifting facial rejuvenation technique is fairly new in North America. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. It’s often called a “lunchtime lift”.

How Do Lip Thread Lifts Work?

Your body absorbs the barbed sutures over a few months. They trigger your body to make collagen where the lip threads are inserted. ‌

Your body naturally makes collagen in order to heal wounds and boost the overall condition of your skin. As you age, collagen production goes down, which in turn leads to thinner skin. Because collagen is a major factor in skin hydration, it helps prevent sagging skin and wrinkles caused by the aging process. ‌‌A lip thread lift is similar to stitches. The skin is pulled slightly back, lifted, and tightened without an invasive surgical procedure, such as plastic surgery. The stitches are unnoticeable dissolve over time. When the threads are inserted into your skin, your body spots the foreign substance. It gathers collagen into the area around the sutures to promote healing.‌‌Thread lifts give results right away. You may also notice more tone and firmness to your skin.
