Thread Lift: Guides
Twelve guides to the patient's side of suspension threads. They assume that the question of whether to have any treatment at all has been considered elsewhere in this cluster. What they add is what a thread can carry, what the first month takes, what the result looks like when it stops holding, and when the honest answer is an operation rather than a thread.

Ask what the thread would be pulling on
Bring the zone that bothers you and what you want changed about it. An assessment sets out whether the complaint is position, volume or skin, how much load that zone would place on a hold, when the review points fall, and what the plan is if the result does not hold.
