Book ConsultationOverview
A thread lift is a non-surgical face lift that uses fine, dissolvable PLLA threads placed beneath the skin to lift sagging tissue in the jawline, jowls, cheeks and mid-face, while stimulating new collagen for longer-lasting firmness. Because the threads work within the same facial layers a surgeon operates on, results depend heavily on the practitioner's understanding of facial anatomy. At FusionMed, thread lifts are led by founder Annie Li, a former internationally trained eye surgeon, and performed under the oversight of our internationally trained surgical team, bringing a surgeon's precision to thread placement, vector planning and safety. With 10+ years of clinical experience and 10,000+ cases treated, we design lifts that look natural, never pulled. A thread lift can be performed on its own or as part of our Signature Facial Balancing program, which combines threads with neurotoxins, dermal fillers and biostimulators in one coordinated whole-face plan. Available in Toronto, North York, and Stouffville.

Ideal Candidate
Who It's For
Thread lifts are ideal for adults aged 30–60+ with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a visible lift without the risks, scarring or recovery time of a surgical facelift. They suit anyone noticing softening along the jawline, jowls forming, cheeks descending or a loss of facial contour. In your 30s, threads offer subtle, preventive support; in your 40s and 50s, they target established sagging; and in your 60s, they are typically combined with filler and biostimulators as part of a Signature Facial Balancing plan. Every plan begins with an honest, unhurried consultation with our surgically trained team.

The Process
How It Works
01
Facial Mapping
Your consultation, led by our surgically trained team, begins with a detailed assessment of your facial anatomy, skin quality and areas of laxity. We map precise lifting vectors and decide whether threads alone or a Signature Facial Balancing combination plan will give you the most natural result.
02
Thread Placement
After numbing, fine dissolvable threads are placed beneath the skin through a thin cannula or needle — no incisions or stitches. Each thread is positioned in the correct anatomical layer to lift and reposition tissue safely.
03
Lift & Collagen
Immediate subtle lifting is visible. Over 3–6 months, threads dissolve and stimulate collagen — improving skin firmness and extending results.

Common Questions
FAQs
Who does the best thread lift in Toronto?
A thread lift depends on careful planning of vectors and anatomy. At FusionMed in North York, Downtown Toronto and Stouffville, thread lifts are performed by our team led by Annie, a former internationally trained eye surgeon, and are often combined with our Signature Facial Balancing for a natural lift of the jowls, jawline, mid-face, brows and neck with minimal downtime.
Who performs thread lifts at FusionMed?
Thread lifts at FusionMed are led by founder Annie Li, a former internationally trained eye surgeon, and performed under the oversight of our internationally trained surgical team. A surgical background means a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, tissue layers and blood vessels, which is essential for placing threads safely and achieving a natural lift.
Why does a surgical background matter for a thread lift?
Thread lifts work in the same tissue layers a surgeon operates on. Results depend on choosing the right lifting vectors, placing threads at the correct depth and avoiding nerves and vessels. A practitioner with surgical training brings that anatomical precision, which reduces the risk of complications such as dimpling or asymmetry and produces a more natural result.
Can a thread lift be combined with other treatments?
Yes. At FusionMed, a thread lift can be part of our Signature Facial Balancing program, a whole-face plan that combines threads for lifting with neurotoxins for lines, dermal fillers for volume and biostimulators such as Sculptra for collagen. Combining treatments addresses lift, volume and skin quality together for a more complete, natural rejuvenation.
Thread lift vs. facelift: what's the difference?
A surgical facelift removes excess skin through incisions and requires general anesthesia and weeks of recovery. A thread lift is non-surgical: dissolvable threads lift tissue and stimulate collagen with no incisions and only a few days of downtime. It is best for mild to moderate sagging; for advanced laxity, a surgical consultation may be more appropriate, and we will tell you honestly.
How long do thread lift results last?
Thread lift results typically last 1–2 years. Results continue to improve for up to 7 months as collagen builds. Longevity varies with skin quality, age and lifestyle.
Does a thread lift hurt?
Numbing is applied before the procedure. Most clients feel mild pressure or sensation during thread placement rather than significant pain.
What's the downtime after a thread lift?
Minimal. Some swelling or bruising may occur for 3–5 days. Avoid strenuous activity, facial massage and wide mouth opening for 1–2 weeks.
Will a thread lift look natural?
Yes. Our approach prioritizes structural balance — we restore your natural facial proportions rather than pulling the skin tight. The result should look like a well-rested, lifted version of you.
What's the best thread lift approach by age — 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s?
In your 30s, we typically recommend a light, preventive approach targeting early jawline or mid-face softening. In your 40s and 50s, thread placement becomes more targeted to address established sagging, often paired with dermal filler for volume. In your 60s, a thread lift is usually part of a Signature Facial Balancing plan with filler and biostimulators for a more comprehensive, natural lift. Your exact plan is personalized at consultation.
I've never had a cosmetic treatment before — is a thread lift a good first step?
It can be, depending on your goals. Many first-time clients start with Botox or filler and consider a thread lift once they want more structural lifting. At consultation, our medical team will walk you through all your options honestly, with no pressure, so you can decide what's right as a starting point.
