Thread Lift & Mini Facelift

Lifting sagging areas just enough so you still look like yourself.

Bio-thread lift and Mini Facelift surgery at BonBoz Clinic are two facial lifting and rejuvenation solutions designed for individuals with mild to moderate facial sagging. Both procedures are directly performed by specialist doctors at our clinic, which operates under medical license No. 10036/HCM-GPHĐ issued by the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City.

Sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, or corners of the eyes is often the first thing people notice on your face—no matter how carefully you apply makeup, it remains visible in profile photos or when you smile. Thread lift and mini facelift at BonBoz are two approaches to address this condition with different levels of invasiveness, prescribed by our doctors after a direct consultation and performed in the clinic's sterile-standard operating room.

To be completely honest: if there is significant skin sagging, a thread lift is unlikely to yield noticeable results; conversely, for mild sagging, major surgical intervention is too aggressive. That is why our doctors will examine you first before recommending a course of action—even if the answer is that no treatment is needed yet.

Schedule a direct consultation with a doctor at BonBoz to receive the most suitable treatment plan for your skin condition.

At BonBoz Clinic, both the bio-thread lift and Mini Facelift are directly performed by Dr. Nguyen Xuan Vu, MSc, Specialist Level II. Costs are clearly quoted after the doctor's consultation with no hidden fees during the procedure. The clinic offers monthly promotions and installment payment support—contact hotline 0869 612 310 · 1900 5309 for current details.

Cost depends on your condition — the doctor will quote you clearly after an in-person exam, before you decide anything.

What might still concern you?

  • Fear of looking stiff and unnatural.
  • Unsure whether to get a thread lift or if a more invasive procedure is needed.
  • Worried that the results won't last.
  • Unable to take much downtime for recovery.

These concerns are all valid. The only way to answer them for your specific case is an in-person exam — so your first consultation at BonBoz is for asking everything, not for closing a package.

How does the process at BonBoz work?

  1. 1

    Consultation & Assessment

    The doctor evaluates your skin laxity, tissue quality, areas of significant sagging, and your overall facial anatomy both at rest and during facial expressions.

  2. 2

    Determining the Treatment Plan

    Based on your actual condition, the doctor will clearly advise whether you are suited for a thread lift, minor surgical intervention, or if no treatment is recommended at this time.

  3. 3

    Managing Expectations

    This is often the most overlooked step. The doctor will clearly outline the realistic improvements you can expect and the limitations of the chosen procedure, allowing you to make an informed decision.

  4. 4

    Pre-Procedure Screening

    We review your health status, current medications, and any factors that could affect the procedure or your recovery.

  5. 5

    The Procedure

    The procedure is performed directly by a specialist at the clinic. You will be monitored afterward until your condition is stable before going home.

  6. 6

    Immediate Aftercare

    You will receive detailed instructions on applying compresses, sleeping positions, diet, and strenuous activities or extreme facial expressions to avoid during the initial recovery phase.

  7. 7

    Follow-Up

    You will return for scheduled appointments so the doctor can monitor your healing process and evaluate the final results once the tissues have settled.

A large outcomes analysis of 13,346 facelift patients found an adverse event incidence of 5.1%, with hematomas and infections as the most frequent complications, when performed by board-certified plastic surgeons.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a thread lift and a mini facelift?

The main differences are the level of invasiveness and the degree of improvement that can be achieved. A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure, typically best suited for mild to moderate skin sagging. A mini facelift is a surgical intervention; while it is more invasive and requires a longer recovery time, it can address more pronounced sagging. After your consultation, the doctor will let you know which option is right for you.

How long do the results last?

There is no universal timeframe. Longevity varies depending on the specific procedure performed, your individual anatomy, age, and lifestyle—and the natural aging process continues after the treatment. The doctor will discuss a realistic estimate for your specific case rather than giving you a marketing figure.

Will my face look stiff or frozen afterward?

A feeling of tightness in the initial stage is normal and will gradually subside as the tissue settles. An unnatural appearance usually results from over-treatment beyond what is actually needed—which is why the initial assessment and alignment of expectations are so crucial.

How long before I can return to work?

Depending on the procedure you choose and your individual healing rate, this timeframe can vary significantly. The doctor will give you a specific timeline for your chosen option during your consultation—if you have a tight schedule, please let us know so the doctor can take this into consideration.

Is it painful?

Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, so you will not feel pain. Afterward, it is common to experience some tightness and discomfort in the treated area during the initial recovery phase, the intensity of which varies by individual. The doctor will prescribe medication and provide instructions on how to manage any discomfort.

At what age should I have this done?

There is no standard age—what matters is the condition of your skin and tissue, not the number on your ID. Some people are suitable candidates at a certain age, while others may not need it yet. The doctor will need to examine you to give a personalized recommendation.

Are there any risks?

Yes. Depending on the procedure, risks can include infection, prolonged swelling and bruising, asymmetry, or results that do not meet expectations. With thread lifts, there are also thread-related risks such as extrusion or migration. The doctor will clearly explain the risks associated with your specific choice before you make a decision.

How much does it cost?

The cost depends on your specific condition and the treatment plan the doctor selects for you, so there is no flat rate. After your examination, the doctor will provide a clear cost estimate for your specific plan before you make a decision—you are completely free to take your time and think it over.

Who will perform my procedure?

A specialist doctor at BonBoz will personally consult and perform your procedure, without delegating to technicians. From your very first consultation, you will meet the exact professional who will be treating you.
