“One-Stitch” Facial Enhancement: Unveiling the Truth
The allure of “quick-fix” surgeries has significantly increased in recent years, largely due to the rise of social media. Posts about minimally invasive procedures that promise dramatic results tend to go viral on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
That said, as we discussed in a recent blog post, influencers can easily spread misinformation about plastic surgery techniques. A prominent example of this is the so-called “one-stitch” technique.
“One-stitch” brow lift, facelift, and neck lift procedures are often marketed as quick, minimally invasive solutions for achieving high-quality surgical outcomes. In reality, however, these are simply catchy rebrands of well-established surgical techniques, rather than revolutionary new approaches.
Specifically, a “one-stitch brow lift” refers to a lateral (or “mini”) brow lift procedure, which focuses on elevating the outer brows rather than the full brow. Meanwhile, a “one-stitch facelift” is really a modified-mini facelift, which involves shorter incisions to target signs of aging in the cheek area. Finally, a “one-stitch neck lift” is essentially a mini neck lift; this method often requires a single, small incision behind the ear to suspend the posterior neck to tighten the lateral neck skin and define the posterior jawline.
Despite what is popularized on social media, even less invasive aesthetic procedures require more than just a “one-stitch” approach. For a natural-looking and long-lasting enhancement, it’s essential to choose an experienced plastic surgeon who can offer a full understanding of what each surgery entails.
