This “non-surgical facelift” lifts and sculpts the facial features using medical-grade threads.
If you want smoother, more lifted facial skin but not the surgery and recovery time of a facelift, a thread lift may give you the desired results. A non-surgical thread lift can tighten the skin, smooth out lines and wrinkles, and sculpt your facial features.
Thread lifts use a medical-grade material called polydioxanone or PDO. These threads, composed of long chains of sugar molecules, have tiny barbs that help them hold onto and lift the skin. The threads come in syringes and are inserted under the skin. The threads then attach to and pull up the skin, making it look tighter and firmer.
Inserting the threads and applying the right lift requires a skilled hand, so a professional with experience in this procedure should only perform thread lifts. While it seems fast and straightforward, a thread lift requires artistry to give you the facial shape you want.
After applying topical anesthetic, your provider will insert a thin needle or cannula under the skin and begin placing the threads. The entire procedure can take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. You may feel a slight pulling or tightening sensation under the skin. As soon as the threads are in place, you can resume your daily activities.
You should avoid sleeping on your side or rubbing your face for several days after the procedure to avoid disturbing the threads. You may have swelling for a few days, but this should not keep you from returning to your usual routine. You can even go back to work right after the procedure.
Your face will immediately look firmer and more lifted. You can have a thread lift in areas including:
The threads used in a thread lift will break down after several months. However, your body responds to the presence of the threads by forming a strong, supportive collagen network around them. This natural support system for the skin remains after the threads dissolve. This lets you keep your lifted, smooth, youthful results for anywhere from one to three years.
Since a thread lift is a non-surgical procedure performed with only a local anesthetic, it does not involve the risks of a surgical facelift. People who are not good candidates for a facelift can often still have a thread lift. If you have areas of minor skin laxity or signs of aging, you may make an ideal candidate for a thread lift.

It has been my pleasure working with Dr. Mashkevich and Dr.Moskowitz. I have received excellent care from the beginning to the end I couldn’t be happier with my results, the doctors truly care for their patients. The staff members always make me feel welcomed upon my arrival not to mention the beautiful office.

Dr. Moskowitz is the best!! He is detailed ortiented and he explained the procedure every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and has a great bedside manner. His staff was always receptive to send information and answer any of my concerns. I could not be more pleased with my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Moskowitz!!
Sharing my recent experience with Dr. Bruce Moskowitz for anyone who is in search of an Ocular Plastic Surgeon. I am relatively young and this was all new to me, and very scary. I was referred to Dr. Moskowitz by another doctor and I am forever grateful. Not only is his work incredible, meticulous, with amazing results, but he takes the time to explain, make you feel comfortable, and follow up consistently. I still can't believe what he was able to do for me, how he put me back together again. The office is clean and comfortable (with wonderful artwork!) and the office staff is all kind, smart and caring. You never feel like you are just patient with no name. Almost feels like a family-run business (a very high-end business.
Dr.Mashkevich is the best cosmetic surgeon in New York City! I was looking for a surgeon with years of experience in facelift and neck lifts. I did shop around went to three other surgeons in New York and I didn’t feel confident enough after my consultations. Until I met Dr.Mashkevich! He is extremely patient and if I could I would give him a ten-star review! Dr. Mashkevich and his team made me comfortable and confident with my decision from the beginning to the end of my journey. This decision was one of the best decisions of my life.
Don’t have enough positive words to describe my experience with Dr. Mashkevich and his team! The entire staff is absolutely amazing! Dr. Mashkevich was so calm, patient, and knowledgeable! I felt so comfortable moving forward with my decision. It took me a very long time to make this decision and proceed with my facial surgery. I am beyond thrilled and my results are even better than I ever could’ve imagined! I would highly, highly recommend Dr.Mashkevich to anyone considering facial plastic surgery!!!
My rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Mashkevich has been excellent! He is a superb surgeon who takes wonderful care of his patients. From my initial consultation all the way through surgery and postoperative follow-ups, I have felt comfortable and safe in his hands. Dr. Mashkevich understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered amazing results. His staff is also very pleasant and professional. I am so happy with my results and would greatly recommend Dr. Mashkevich.
Dr. Mashkevich has exceeded my expectations. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and extremely attentive pre and post-operation. I went to several consultations with other surgeons but felt most comfortable with Dr. Mashkevich’s expertise and confidence. I was extremely nervous about the outcome and the recovery - both of which I’m very pleased with. If you’re looking for a natural look then this is the doctor for you. Highly recommend him!!
I recently underwent face, neck, and lip lift, as well as a partial rhinoplasty revision, performed by Dr. Mashkevich. I don't know where to begin. Dr. Mashkevich is not only a surgeon but an artist, with the most incredible surgical eye and hands. I had several consultations with plastic surgeons in Manhattan, and from the moment I met Dr. Mashkevich, there was no question that he would be the one to perform my surgery. From the consultation to post-op appointments, he has been the kindest, most caring, and sincere doctor that I could have hoped for. I could not be happier with my decision. I would recommend Dr. Mashkevich to anyone who is looking for not only incredible results but a smooth and comfortable overall surgical experience. Truly the best!!!
Saying Dr.Bruce Moskowitz is an expert and master in his field is an understatement. He truly knows his stuff! I am so thankful and grateful I chose Dr.Moskowitz to do my eyelid surgery. For years I went to so many Oculoplastic Surgeons and was so happy to come across Dr.Moskowitz. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, honest, and most importantly all about perfection. I’m so thankful every day, he literally changed my life!
Dr. Moskowitz is by far, one of the best Dr's I have ever met. He is kind, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He explains everything that he is going to and always made sure I felt comfortable. He is also a perfectionist, which made me feel even more confident in his abilities as a plastic surgeon
There is no one else I would let touch my face besides Dr. Moskowitz. He does such an incredible job and walks you through every part of the procedure and the results are always perfect. I cannot recommend him enough!
In February 2021, I decided to undergo eyes surgery (brow lift and lower blepharoplasty surgery). My friend, who is also a happy patient of Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, recommended him to me and today I know that it was the best choice I could have made. A real expert in his field. Both during the consultation and during the surgery, I felt great under the care of Dr. Moskowitz and his fantastic team. I would also like to thank all the ladies at the reception who are very nice and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend dr. Bruce Moskowitz and his great team.
