This is a YouTube video titled "Thread Lifts: Not Your Traditional Face Lift" (created 2025-09-25T12:01:32+00:00). The excerpt is a single-speaker spoken presentation—likely a clinician—describing the evolution of thread lifts (since 2006), the recent breakthrough of combining modalities for a more robust thread lift, and how thread lifts differ from surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, forehead lifts, and traditional facelifts. The speaker discusses targeting the mid-face and upper face (areas facelifts often do not address), restoring volume with fillers (referred to as "pretty eyes") and using Botox for wrinkles.

Chapters

We have a thread lift that we've been working on for quite some time. Started doing them in 06. Changes occur over time. They got better and better. Really. The real breakthrough for us came about two years ago. Combining different modalities. Get the most robust thread lift. What a thread lift is, it's designed to be a non surgical facelift, so to speak. So as an eyelid lift, we have extra eyelid skin. We take that out, that's eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty. There's a forehead lift, doesn't work that good. But there is a forehead lift that's not a facelift. And then the facelift is everything from the earlobe to the corner of the mouth down does not lift up the mid face. A lot of people believe that, but it does not. So when we're doing our magic lift filler procedure, mostly we're working on the stuff that a facelift just can't handle. And that's the mid face, the upper face, the eyes. We do something called the pretty eyes to restore volume. Maybe some Botox for wrinkles. Facelift does not accomplish any of that stuff.
