Fine dissolvable threads are passed under the skin to reposition sagging tissue and stimulate collagen — a modest lift of the cheek and jawline, without a scalpel.

A thread lift uses absorbable sutures, usually polydioxanone, with small barbs along their length. They are passed through a needle entry point into the layer beneath the skin, then drawn upward so the barbs hold the tissue in its new position. Over the following months the thread dissolves while the body lays down collagen along its track. The lift is measured in millimetres, not the centimetres a facelift achieves, so it suits early laxity. Cost depends on how many threads are needed and is confirmed at consultation.
Turkey combines high surgical volume with lower running costs, which is why the same materials and devices used in Western Europe cost a fraction here. Swedish Clinic works inside a licensed full-fledged hospital under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, holds Temos international accreditation and runs an ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management system — the three things worth checking before you book anywhere abroad.

Missing teeth affected my daily life for years. From the first exam my doctor’s care and expertise made me feel safe at every stage.

One year on and nobody can tell. The hairline they designed suits my face — it does not look transplanted.

I wanted my nose softened, not replaced. The surgeon showed me the simulation and the result is exactly that.

Fourteen months on and I am 38 kilos lighter. The dietitian called me every single month — that made the difference.

Everyone was so smiley and welcoming from the moment I landed. Istanbul is beautiful and the service was first class.

Clean, modern hospital and a team that answered every message within minutes. I already recommended them to two friends.
🇷🇴 RomaniaAround twelve to eighteen months for most patients. The threads themselves dissolve within about six months; what remains is the collagen the body has laid down along their path.
No, and we will say so at the consultation. It lifts by millimetres and suits early sagging. If the laxity is advanced, a thread lift will disappoint you and surgery is the honest recommendation.
Two to three days of swelling and some tenderness when you open your mouth wide. You are asked to sleep on your back and to avoid dental work, facials and hard chewing for about two weeks.
It is priced by the number of threads your face actually needs, which is only clear after an examination. You receive a written, all-inclusive figure before you commit to anything.
