What Is a EuroThreads Lift?
Traditional face or body lift procedures require significant downtime and recovery, along with the risks associated with surgery. As an alternative to these surgical enhancement procedures, a EuroThreads lift, also known as a thread, lift or “lunchtime” lift, uses FDA-approved, absorbable sutures (threads) to lift and tighten the skin to smooth out wrinkles, reduce fine lines, and improve skin elasticity. At Snyder Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists offer Euro Threads procedures to provide natural, enhanced results for their patients. The absorbable threads can also help promote collagen production in the skin to increase the longevity of results. Contact our Austin, TX office to learn more about a EuroThreads lift and to schedule a consultation today.
Who Is a Candidate for a EuroThreads Lift?
A candidate for a EuroThreads lift is any individual who is experiencing signs of aging or sagging skin but does not want to undergo a surgical procedure. A EuroThreads procedure can be performed on several areas that have lost volume, such as the neck, body, cheeks, lips, and jowls. This treatment can also be performed alongside other nonsurgical treatments, such as injectables, to help patients receive optimal results. The absorbable EuroThreads sutures continue to stimulate the production of collagen, which can provide long-lasting, effective results over time.

Dr. Snyder and Jenn are amazing! I have had two services with Dr. Snyder and highly recommend him for any plastic surgery needs. Jennifer and Kalli are great too. His entire staff made me feel welcomed and were friendly and responsive. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon- go see Dr. Ned Snyder. His bedside manner and personality are a 10!

I’ve had two different doctors and have been going to this office since 2021. I’ve had nothing but great experiences. They were knowledgeable and aggressive in getting my eczema flare ups under control. They offer cheaper options for getting expensive prescriptions, which is always a plus! The staff in the front and on the phones are helpful and kind. The nurses ask considerate and relevant questions. I feel like my doctors really understand my concerns and do their best to help me know how to use the medicines correctly. Can’t recommend them enough!

Benefits of a EuroThreads Lift
Benefits of a EuroThreads Lift:
Non-Surgical: EuroThreads lift provides a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift surgery. It involves minimal incisions and does not require general anesthesia, reducing the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
Immediate Results: Patients typically notice an immediate improvement in skin laxity and facial contour after the procedure. As the threads dissolve over time, collagen production is stimulated, leading to further skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Natural-Looking Results: EuroThreads lift can create a natural-looking lift by repositioning sagging tissues and stimulating collagen production. It helps restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the “overdone” look sometimes associated with surgical facelifts.
Versatility: EuroThreads can lift and tighten various areas of the face and neck, including the cheeks, jawline, brows, and neck. They can also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Minimal Downtime: Recovery time after a EuroThreads lift is relatively short compared to traditional surgery. Most patients experience minimal swelling, bruising, and discomfort, allowing them to return to their normal activities soon after the procedure.
Long-Lasting Results: While the threads dissolve over several months, the collagen produced in response to the treatment can improve skin laxity and texture.
Customizable: EuroThreads lift treatments can be tailored to each patient’s specific needs and desired outcomes. The number and placement of threads can be adjusted to achieve optimal results for individual facial anatomy and concerns.
Safe: The FDA has approved the use of PDO threads in EuroThreads lift procedures in cosmetic procedures. When performed by a qualified and experienced provider, EuroThreads lift is considered safe and effective.
EuroThreads Lift Treatment:
EuroThreads takes anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour to complete. EuroThreads absorbable sutures are placed into a cannula or needle and are sterilized prior to treatment. The cannula or needle will then be injected into the skin and the threads are left in place as the cannula or needle is taken out. The threads may then be pulled in certain directions to help lift and tighten the skin. Depending on the size of the treatment area, several threads may be inserted during one treatment session. The threads are not removed but left to absorb into the skin and stimulate collagen. Other nonsurgical treatments may be performed before or after a EuroThreads lift, depending on what was decided upon during the patient’s consultation.
EuroThreads Lift Recovery and Results
After a EuroThreads lift, patients may notice some slight bruising, soreness, or swelling. This usually will last no longer than a few days. Optimal results may appear within a few hours or a few weeks after the procedure. The long-lasting effects of the results can vary from patient to patient, but on average, they last up to 18 months. Patients may notice more longevity with results if additional nonsurgical treatment is also performed. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to evaluate the success of the treatment.
