At LUXURGERY in New York City, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sachin M. Shridharani and his team use this combination of treatments often.
Why Combine Injectables and Instalift Threads?
Injectables can do a lot with just a few small adjustments. Neuromodulators like Botox relax the muscles that cause lines from repeated movement (think forehead lines or crow’s feet). Fillers add volume where the face has thinned, like the cheeks, under-eyes, or around the mouth. These two treatments are often combined to subtly shape your features without making you look overdone.
InstaLift™ threads add another element of rejuvenation. They lift sagging skin by placing dissolvable sutures just under the surface. You’ll see a change right away, and over time, your skin builds collagen around the threads for added support.
Together, these three treatments work on different layers of your face. Threads lift and hold while injectables fine-tune the shape. It’s a smart way to refresh your look without surgery.
What to Expect From This Approach
Most patients see an immediate improvement from the threads, with continued skin tightening over several months as collagen builds.Â
Fillers and neuromodulators work on different timelines, with results appearing within days to a couple of weeks, depending on the products we use.
You won’t need to set aside much time to recover. After threads, you might feel some tightness or notice some swelling for a couple of days. Most people are back to their usual routine within 24 to 48 hours.Â
If you’re also getting injectables, expect to have some light bruising, but nothing that should prevent you from being out and about.
