The Best of Both Worlds: A Lift Without the Filler Look
A message from Dr. Mark Godley
Not everyone wants volume, and not every face needs it. Over the years, I’ve heard from so many individuals who are looking for a lift, but hesitate when it comes to filler. They want definition, not puffiness. They want to look refreshed, not changed.
That’s why I created “The Invisilift” Thread Lift.
Why I Designed “The Invisilift” Thead Lift
Some faces respond beautifully to filler. Others don’t. For those with fuller or wider features, added volume can sometimes lead to a puffy or unnatural look. And for those who lean toward a more conservative aesthetic, the idea of reshaping the face with filler simply doesn’t align with their goals.
What’s often wanted is a gentle lift — a way to restore contour without adding bulk. That’s what Invisilift is designed to do. Using precision thread placement, we lift and support the tissue while encouraging your body’s collagen production. The result is soft definition and structural support, without altering the natural balance of the face.
How Threadlifting Differs from Filler
Threadlifting works differently. With Invisilift, we use fine, biocompatible threads to physically reposition the skin. These threads stimulate collagen as they dissolve, creating internal scaffolding that helps firm and support the skin from within.
While filler delivers instant volume, threadlifting offers gradual, structural rejuvenation — with effects that can last 12 to 18 months or longer.
It’s ideal for anyone who prefers to look quietly refreshed, not obviously “done.”
Training at the Source
To bring advanced techniques to my clients, I travelled to Tbilisi, Georgia — the birthplace of threadlifting. There, at the Aptos Headquarters and official thread manufactory, I trained directly with Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze, the inventor of the threadlifting method.
My time there allowed me to study both PDO and PLA threads in depth. Invisilift is a product of that training — a refined, minimal-discomfort procedure that fits the needs of those who want natural-looking results without dramatic intervention.
What I See in Clinic
I’ve worked with many individuals who didn’t feel that filler was the right fit. One person, with a naturally round face, shared that past filler treatments left her feeling even puffier — less like herself. With Invisilift, we were able to restore definition without adding bulk. She left feeling more confident, without feeling overfilled.
And then there was someone preparing for a major milestone birthday. She didn’t want anyone to know she’d had something done — just to look rested and polished for the event. We treated the midface with Invisilift, and within weeks, she had the contour she’d been missing.
Another client came in not looking for a lift at all, but wanting to support her skin long-term. She was drawn to the collagen-stimulating aspect of threadlifting. Over the months that followed, she noticed her skin feeling firmer, more resilient — exactly the kind of gradual, natural improvement she had hoped for.
