The Challenge of Facial Aging
Facial aging is a complex, multi-layered process. Over time, collagen levels decline, fat pads either shrink or hypertrophy and shift, and retaining ligaments lose their strength. Combined with gravity, these changes reverse the youthful “triangle of beauty” — where high cheekbones, full cheeks, and a defined jawline are replaced by sagging contours and volume loss.
To restore youthful facial harmony, we must address all layers of aging — skin, fat, ligaments, and sometimes bone structure. This is the foundation of my 4D Lifting technique.
What Makes 4D Lifting Different?
Many thread lift techniques focus solely on inserting threads under the skin to achieve tightening. 4D Lifting goes far beyond this, combining:
Right Material – High-strength threads designed for secure anchoring.
Right Patient – Ideal candidates are aged 30–60 with moderate skin laxity, good bone projection, and compact facial fat.
Right Technique – Precision vector mapping, symmetrical placement, and temporal anchoring for midface lift.
Right Combination – Integration of multiple aesthetic modalities for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
This approach results in natural, harmonious, and long-lasting outcomes.
Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words. Their separate existence is a myth.
Thread Types Used in 4D Lifting
In my 4D Lifting technique, I focus on threads with strong anchor points to provide true lifting power rather than simple tissue compression:
Double-Needle Threads – Specifically designed for temporal anchoring, ensuring secure fixation to strong anatomical points. This creates a durable and stable lift for the midface, jawline, and brows, with precise vector control and symmetry.
Silicone Threads – Featuring a polyester core with a silicone coating, these threads have exceptional tensile strength and grip, making them ideal for patients requiring robust lifting and extended longevity.
Other thread types (mono, cog, screw) can be useful in general aesthetic medicine, but in 4D Lifting the priority is on materials that ensure maximum stability, anchoring, and patient satisfaction.
The Power of Combination
4D Lifting is not just a thread procedure — it is a comprehensive anti-aging solution. Aging affects different facial layers in different ways, so the best results come from layered, multi-modal treatment plans:
Dermal Fillers – Restoring lost volume in hypotrophic fat pads with hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, or autologous fat grafting.
Botulinum Toxin – Relaxing dynamic wrinkles and improving facial balance.
Mesotherapy – Enhancing skin hydration, elasticity, and glow.
Fat Transfer – Natural, long-lasting volumization in areas like the midface, temples, or jawline.
Energy-Based Devices (Ultrasound, RF, Laser) – Stimulating collagen and tightening skin for a firmer appearance.
This 4-dimensional strategy ensures results that are natural, stable, and long-lasting, while avoiding the “overdone” look.

Why Temporal Anchoring Matters
A key feature of 4D Lifting is temporal anchoring. Without secure fixation to strong points, a thread lift becomes a mere compression, which often results in short-lived effects. Temporal anchoring ensures real repositioning of sagging tissues, maintaining lift and symmetry over time.
