Your treatment plan

  1. 1. Assess

    The physician examines your face and checks whether threads suit the tissue and your travel dates.

  2. 2. Plan

    Tunemaka-se design marks vectors; thread type, number and direction are chosen for each area.

  3. 3. Treat

    Under anesthesia, the physician places the agreed threads through small entry points along the planned direction.

This is a planning method, not a result guarantee. Suitability and the final plan are confirmed after an in-person assessment.

See the Tunemaka-se method

Recovery & travel

  • Swelling, bruising, tightness or pulling can occur; how visible they are and how long they last vary.
  • Avoid wide yawning, hard foods and pressure on the face in the first days, following your written aftercare.
  • Plan early in the trip so concerns can be reviewed before you leave; flight timing is individual.
  • Use the same WhatsApp conversation for recovery questions once home.

How threads hold tissue

Absorbable threads hold tissue in a planned position. Collagen forming around them is the intended second effect as the threads settle and are absorbed. The degree and duration of any change vary.

Treatment may address cheeks, nasolabial folds, the jawline, loose tissue beneath the chin or a slackening neckline. The physician decides the areas, thread choice and direction after assessment.

Treatment FAQ

How long does a thread lift hold?

The threads are absorbed over time. Collagen forming around them is the intended way a change is held. How much holds, and for how long, differs with the person, the skin and lifestyle, and cannot be promised in advance.

How much downtime should I plan for?

Swelling, bruising, tightness or a pulling feeling can appear after the procedure. How visible they are and how long they last depend on you and on the threads used. Tell the physician about work, events and flights before you book, so the date leaves room for this.

Does it hurt?

The procedure is done under anesthesia. Discomfort during and after varies, and a tight or pulling feeling can last for a while afterwards. Wide yawning, chewing hard foods and pressing on the face can make it worse in the first days, and your written aftercare covers this.

How soon after a thread lift can I fly home?

There is no fixed answer. Swelling and bruising, the number of threads and the length of the flight all matter. It helps to have the procedure early in the trip, so any problem can be seen before you leave. Share your dates first and the physician will tell you whether the trip is long enough.

What should I send on WhatsApp before booking?

Send clear daylight photos of your face from the front, both sides and at an angle, your arrival and departure dates, and any previous threads, filler or lifting in the lower face, with rough dates. Mention blood thinners or supplements you take. The physician can then tell you whether threads make sense and how many days to allow. The final decision is made in person.
