Aging signs are a natural and inevitable effect of time. Although there isn’t a procedure that can totally remove these signs all cosmetic plastic surgery procedures seek to improve and diminish them. One of the most natural looking is the Feather Lift, also commonly called Russian threads.

The procedure of placing Russian threads on the face is relatively easy and less invasive than a face lift, but results are also less dramatic.  The objective of a face lift with Russian threads is to correct the face sag, restore the cheeks and lift the eyebrows. The procedure uses local anesthesia and it lasts an approximate of 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Incisions made to place the Russian threads for the Feather Lift are almost invisible and are made using a nontoxic material called polypropylene. Russian threads are placed on the deep tissues through some guidelines so that when the threads are tightened the area treated is also tighten.

The number of threads to be placed depends on the area to be treated. Once the threads have been placed under the facial fat they become invisible.

Recovery from a Russian threads procedure is not painful and there is very little discomfort. Results are apparent very soon after the procedure. It is usually a very safe procedure; however as mentioned before, results are not the same from those of a face lift procedure. Deciding to place Russian threads depends on your expectations and an in-depth analysis from your surgeon.
