Hi there and thank you for the question.
Threadlifts are usually performed with some form of barbed suture. This ensures engagement within the tissues placed. After some time, the material from the thread is integrated into the normal tissue. This enables security of the thread. While is is theoretically possible for threads to shift slightly right after they are placed, it is highly improbable that they would ever be moved significantly without some form of surgical intervention.
Hope this helps!
