Lift, define, and rejuvenate your facial features—without surgery. At Vital Medical Care & Aesthetics in Merrick, NY, our Half Lift treatment uses PDO Threads to restore firmness and contour in the mid-to-lower face, helping you achieve a more youthful, lifted appearance. This non-surgical procedure delivers subtle, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
What Is the Half Lift?
The Half Lift is a minimally invasive thread lifting procedure that uses PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, which are dissolvable sutures inserted just beneath the skin to lift and support sagging tissue. Over time, the threads also stimulate collagen production, further enhancing skin texture and elasticity.
This treatment is commonly used to:
- Lift sagging cheeks and jowls
- Define the jawline and lower face
- Smooth fine lines around the mouth and lower face
- Improve facial symmetry and contour
- Restore structure in areas affected by volume loss
How the Treatment Works
The procedure begins with a consultation to assess your facial structure and determine where lifting is needed most. A local anesthetic is applied, and fine threads are gently inserted beneath the skin using a thin cannula. The threads are positioned to provide an instant lifting effect and encourage long-term collagen regeneration.
Treatment typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, with little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tightness post-treatment, which usually subsides within a few days. Results are immediate and continue to improve over the following months as collagen builds. The threads naturally dissolve over time, but the lift and collagen effects can last up to 12–18 months.
