As with any medical procedure, side effects are possible. Common side effects of thread lifting are usually rare and mild; they include:

• Swelling: Swelling is a normal response to any procedure and may last for a few days to a week.

• Bruising: Bruising can also occur around the treated area and usually resolves within a few days to a week.

• Pain: Some patients may experience pain or discomfort at the site of the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

• Infection: Like any procedure that involves breaking the skin, thread lifting carries a small risk of infection. If you notice redness, warmth, or discharge at the site of the procedure, contact your healthcare provider immediately to start antibiotics. (very rare side effect)

Other possible side effects of thread lifting include:

• Numbness or tingling: Some patients may experience numbness or tingling in the treated area, which is usually temporary and will resolve within a few weeks.

• Asymmetry: Although uncommon, some patients may experience asymmetry in the treated ares. Follow-up and touch-up treatments are usually enough to fix this problem.

• Dimpling: is a possible side effect of the procedure when the thread is pulling on the skin and dimples result from poor technique. Usually this procedure is less common in expert hands, and most cases can be fixed and resolved.

It's important to select a qualified professional with experience and training in thread lifting to minimize the risk of dimpling or other side effects. Consult with a qualified practitioner to understand all the possible risks and benefits of the procedure.
