Mild to moderate laxity
Softening of the cheek or jawline that you would like clinically assessed before considering lifting.
Preferring non-surgical options
Researching lifting approaches that do not involve surgery and curious how threads compare to other devices.
Comparing threads with HIFU or RF
Open to a doctor's view on which tool — or which combination — suits your anatomy and goals.
Considering combination plans
Exploring how lifting may sit alongside skin-quality treatments like skin boosters or Profhilo.
— What this involves
What thread lifting involves
Thread lifts use absorbable medical-grade threads placed under the skin to provide targeted lift. Some threads also have a regenerative role, supporting collagen activity in the surrounding tissue over time.
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia in our clinic. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common in the first few days; activity is usually restricted for a short period afterwards.
Threads are not a substitute for a surgical facelift, and outcomes vary by skin quality, anatomy, and lifestyle. Your doctor will confirm whether threads are appropriate or whether a different approach is a better starting point.
— Why DrPlus
Why patients choose DrPlus for thread lift planning
Threads are a medical procedure. Your plan is reviewed by a qualified physician, not selected from a sales menu.
Threads are not a facelift. We are direct about what is realistic and what is better addressed differently.
Lifting often works best alongside skin-quality treatments — your doctor will sequence what is appropriate.

— Cost & value
What it costs — and how JB compares for Singapore patients
We do not publish prices: thread lift quotes depend on the areas treated, the number and type of threads, and whether lifting is combined with skin-quality treatments. You receive a personalised, written quote after assessment, with no obligation to proceed.
Quotes are in Malaysian ringgit. For patients coming from Singapore, the SGD-to-MYR exchange rate is the main reason a JB thread lift budget goes further than equivalent care at home — you pay in ringgit at the prevailing rate, for a doctor-planned procedure with follow-up included in the plan.
Compare like-for-like when weighing quotes against Singapore clinics: who performs the procedure, which threads are used, and whether review is included — then factor in the roughly 20–30 minute drive from the Tuas Second Link.

- Number and type of threads in your plan

Common questions
No. A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure using absorbable threads placed under the skin. It does not replace a surgical facelift. For some patients with mild to moderate laxity, it may be a reasonable option — your doctor will confirm suitability.
Threads are absorbable. Visible effect duration varies — some patients see effects for many months, others longer. Your doctor will share a realistic estimate based on your case.
Local anaesthesia is used during the procedure. Mild tenderness, swelling, or bruising may be present in the first few days afterwards.
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Strenuous exercise, facial massage, and extreme facial movement are typically restricted briefly. Your doctor will share aftercare instructions tailored to your case.
Often yes. Threads may be combined with skin boosters, lasers, or RF as part of a broader plan. Your doctor will sequence treatments appropriately to allow each to do its job.
DrPlus Aesthetic Clinic in Iskandar Puteri offers doctor-led thread lift consultations. You may book privately and discuss suitability without committing to treatment on the day.
