What Is a Neck and Jawline Thread Lift?
A neck and jawline thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment designed to support and reposition the skin along the lower face and neck. Using absorbable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material commonly used in medical sutures, this procedure gently lifts the skin while also stimulating collagen production. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve, leaving behind renewed structural support and improved skin quality. This option may suit individuals who notice changes such as skin laxity, softening of the jawline, or heaviness under the chin, and who prefer a non-surgical alternative to traditional lifting procedures.
What a Neck and Jawline Thread Lift May Help With
Thread lifts are tailored to each person’s needs but may be considered for:
Skin laxity on the neck
Supporting tissues beneath the surface to reduce the appearance of sagging.
Jawline definition
Improving contour where skin has softened due to age or genetics.
Fullness beneath the chin
providing structural support to minimise the look of heaviness in the submental area.
Jowls and folds
Gently lifting sagging tissues along the jawline.
Skin texture
Stimulating collagen and elastin for firmer-feeling, smoother skin.
What to Expect from Your Thread Lift
Initial Consultation
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation with one of our medical practitioners. This is where we assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine whether thread lifting is a suitable option.
Treatment Preparation
On the day of your procedure, the area is cleansed, and a local anaesthetic may be applied to maximise comfort.
Thread Placement
Using a fine cannula, PDO threads are gently inserted beneath the skin and positioned to achieve a subtle lift. The process is typically well-tolerated and takes under an hour.
Recovery & Results
Mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually settles within a few days. Some lifting is visible immediately, with results continuing to improve as collagen develops over the following 6-12 weeks. Effects may last 12-18 months, depending on skin quality, lifestyle, and the number of threads used.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Thread lift procedure take?
Most thread lift procedures for the neck or jawline take around 45-60 minutes. This may vary depending on the number of threads used and the complexity of your treatment plan.
Is the neck or jawline thread lift right for me?
Once healed, the threads are typically not visible or felt. Any initial sensation usually resolves within days.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. Many people return to their normal routine within a few days, although some swelling or bruising may last up to a week. Strenuous activity and excessive jaw movement should be avoided initially to support recovery.
How is this different from a surgical facelift?
A thread lift is minimally invasive and designed to provide a subtle lift with less downtime compared to surgery. However, the results are not as dramatic or long-lasting as a surgical facelift. During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether a thread lift is appropriate for your goals.
What happens when the threads dissolve?
The threads gradually break down over several months. As they dissolve, they stimulate natural collagen production, which helps maintain skin structure and prolong the lifting effect.
