Thread lifts in Deerfield or North Shore deliver an immediate, natural-looking lift without surgery, general anesthesia, or extended downtime. In under an hour, Dr. Julia Melamed repositions and tightens sagging skin, restoring definition to your face exactly where you want it.
Real Lift. Real Results. No Scalpel Required.
PDO Max threads are the gold standard in non-surgical facial lifting. Using biocompatible polydioxanone threads, the same material trusted in medical sutures for over 30 years, Dr. Melamed places ultra-fine threads beneath the skin to instantly lift, tighten, and recontour.
As the threads dissolve over 6 to 8 months, they stimulate natural collagen production, helping your results not only hold, but continue to improve. Your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more resilient over time, delivering both immediate and long-term rejuvenation.
Thread Lifts Treat:
- Sagging cheeks and jowls
- Loose skin along the jawline
- Mild to moderate neck laxity
- Drooping eyebrows or forehead skin
- Smile lines and nasolabial folds
- Lack of facial definition or contour
- Skin laxity around the eyes and mouth
Target Your Concerns. Lift What Matters.
Mini Facelift
A full facial refresh without the surgery. Threads are strategically placed along multiple lifting vectors to reposition the cheeks, tighten the jawline, and reduce the appearance of jowls and nasolabial folds. The result is a more youthful, rested facial contour that looks natural. This is ideal for patients seeking meaningful rejuvenation without surgery or extended downtime.
Nose Lift
Refine your profile without rhinoplasty. A thread nose lift uses carefully placed threads to subtly elevate a drooping nasal tip, improving facial balance and definition. This delivers immediate results and has become one of the most sought-after non-surgical enhancements.
Lip Lift
Restore shape and definition in a way that feels like you. As the upper lip lengthens over time, lips can appear thinner or less expressive. Threads gently lift and support the upper lip, bringing back a softer, more youthful contour while subtly smoothing the surrounding skin.
Jowl Lift
Jowls are among the earliest signs of aging and among the most satisfying to treat. Threads reposition and support the lower face, helping to sharpen the jawline and reduce heaviness around the mouth. The result is a more defined profile that looks refreshed.
Neck Lift
The neck often reveals age before the face does. Threads help lift and support delicate skin along the neck and under the chin, reducing laxity and restoring a smoother, more defined transition from the jawline to the neck. The results appear quickly and refine over time.

Thread Lift FAQs
How long do the results last?
Most patients enjoy results for at least 12 months, often longer. As the threads dissolve, the collagen they stimulate continues to improve skin firmness and texture over time.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. You should avoid strenuous exercise and excessive facial movement for about one week. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves quickly.
Can threads be combined with other treatments?
Yes, and often the best outcomes come from combination treatments. PDO threads can often be paired with neuromodulators or fillers to enhance overall facial balance and rejuvenation. Dr. Melamed will recommend a personalized plan during your consultation.
Who is a good candidate?
Thread lifts are ideal for adults in their 30s through 70s who are experiencing mild to moderate laxity and want noticeable rejuvenation without surgery. Dr. Melamed will assess your anatomy and goals to determine if this treatment is right for you.
