Sometimes one side of the face can look higher or lower than the other right after threadlift due to the local anaesthesia and trauma from inserting the threads. It’s best to wait 7-10 days before returning to the treating doctor to assess again.
Usually not so many threads are needed in one session as most doctors use the cog/cone threads nowadays for lifting/suspension effects (which give an obvious facelift effect). Probably 8-12 threads are needed.
If multiple small threads are used, it’s usually for localized area skin tightening and collagen stimulation. For that , I prefer collagen-stimulators like Ellanse or Radiesse instead as they can be injected evenly like a thin carpet under the skin layer.
A throbbing headache at the temples may occur as a side effect of threadlift too, but it shouldn’t last for more than 12 hours after ingestion of painkillers.
