The Nova Lift is a nonsurgical procedure that uses surgical-grade threads to lift and tighten the skin and enhance the facial profile. These PDO threads were first used for some types of heart surgery, and it was discovered that they could be beneficial in cosmetic procedures as well. Threaded needles are placed into angled points of the face and neck to create the desired correction. The threads will dissolve in the months following your procedure, but their benefits will be long-lasting. In addition to providing immediate lift, the threads stimulate the body’s healing response, which promotes cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin. These natural processes will help you maintain your more youthful appearance long after the body absorbs the threads.
Dr. Mordkovich will select your threads based on the amount of correction you need and the precise results you want. Both of these threads offer dramatic, long-lasting lift and tightening, creating a more youthful facial profile.
Recovery from a Nova Lift is relatively short compared to the downtime you might expect from surgical procedures. You may experience bruising and swelling around the insertion points, which will subside within about one week. Any tenderness will also improve within that timeframe. You should feel ready to resume your daily routine within that week as well.
Results from a Nova Lift are both immediate and long-lasting. You will notice tighter, firmer skin immediately following your procedure and in the months afterward, the results will be naturally maintained as the threads dissolve and the body’s processes take over. Over the years, you may notice signs of aging begin to creep in once again, but another Nova Lift is an option at that time to restore your youthful appearance for even longer.
