Thread lifts are one of Malaysia’s most popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures in 2025. While the actual treatment is quick and minimally invasive, your results depend significantly on how well you care for your skin post-procedure.

This guide walks you through everything you need to know,“from sleeping positions to workout rules and what to eat“so your lift lasts longer and heals beautifully.

What Is a Thread Lift?

A thread lift uses dissolvable sutures to lift sagging skin, stimulate collagen, and contour your face naturally. Commonly performed on the jawline, cheeks, brows, and neck, the results typically last 12 to 18 months.

Learn more about the procedure on the Thread Lift Malaysia treatment page.

Post-Treatment Sleep Tips

1. Sleep on Your Back, Head Elevated 

Sleeping on your back prevents pressure on treated areas. Elevating your head reduces swelling and bruising.

Tip: Use extra pillows or a wedge pillow for support the first 3,5 nights.

2. Avoid Side-Sleeping or Face Pressure

Side-sleeping or pressing your face into a pillow may displace threads or cause asymmetry.

For tailored guidance, contact Nexus Clinic’s aesthetic team.

Exercise Do’s & Don’ts

1. Avoid Exercise for the First 7 Days

No gym, yoga, or heavy lifting for a week. Straining facial muscles can loosen threads.

2. Resume Light Activity After 1 Week

Walking is fine after a few days, but wait at least 2 weeks before intense workouts or any facial-based exercises.

Diet Tips for Faster Healing

1. Eat Anti-Inflammatory Foods 

Include foods that boost collagen and reduce swelling:

• Berries, leafy greens, citrus
• Omega-3s (salmon, flaxseed)
• Zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, lentils)

2. Avoid Hard-Chewing Foods

Skip tough meats, chewing gum, or large bites for at least 48,72 hours post-treatment to reduce tension in facial muscles.

For individualized recovery tips, your aesthetic doctor at Nexus Clinic will guide you based on the thread type used.

What to Avoid During Recovery

• No makeup for 24 hours
• No alcohol or smoking for at least a week
• No facial massage or skin treatments for 2,3 weeks
• No saunas or steam rooms for 7,10 days
