Thanks to this technique, the lifting effect is immediate.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the placement of resorbable thread lifts in the body work?<\/h3>\n<p>After an overall analysis of your body shape and a review of your medical background, along with photographs taken of the area in question and a signed quote, Dr. Laurence Benouaiche proceeds with a local anesthesia for greater comfort. She inserts the thread using cannula at the single entry point. There is no need for stitches. Thanks to the crimps, threads won\u2019t move after they\u2019re inserted. Anesthesia and thread placement take about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the potential side effects of body tensor threads?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For 1 or 2 weeks, you may experience some bruises which will quickly disappear.<\/li>\n<li>Your abdomen might be slightly sensitive for 3 to 10 days.<\/li>\n<li>A follow-up appointment is scheduled with the doctor between 15 days and 1 month.<\/li>\n<li>Outcome is immediate but fully optimized after 2 months,<\/li>\n<li>The results last up to 2 years.
