Listen Later

Welcome to today’s episode where Dr. Earl Stephenson Jr., a board-certified plastic surgeon, gives you an honest, no-nonsense take on thread lifts. You've probably heard about thread lifts as a quick, non-surgical way to get that "snatched" face. They’re all over Instagram and TikTok, promising instant results with little downtime, but what’s the real story? In this episode, I discuss what thread lifts are, why they’ve become so popular, and why I personally think they may not be the best choice for everyone. As someone who is passionate about giving my patients the best and most natural-looking results, I want to take you behind the curtain to understand what’s really involved in this trending treatment. ✨ Here’s What We Cover in This Episode:

  • What is a Thread Lift?** I break down how thread lifts work, the different types of threads used, and what you can realistically expect if you choose this procedure.
  • The Pros and Cons of Thread Lifts**: I share the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to thread lifts. From the instant lift to complications like visible threads and disappointing outcomes, we talk it all out.
  • Controversy and Marketing Hype**: Are thread lifts really a “lunchtime facelift,” or is that just clever marketing? I explain how results often fall short of patient expectations and why some surgeons have concerns about the safety and efficacy of this procedure.
  • What Are the Alternatives?** If you’re looking to rejuvenate your face, I give you the best options for achieving natural and longer-lasting results—whether it’s dermal fillers, facelifts, or skin-tightening treatments.
