Contour Thread Lift™
As the aging process
begins, the connective tissue thins and collagen and
elastic fibers break down. These changes in the support
structures appear as sagging, deep creases, folds and
wrinkles that can appear in your thirties.
A procedure with patented
Contour Threads™ is a safe, conservative and effective
one that offers subtle, natural-looking results. These
specially designed sutures are fashioned from clear
polypropylene, a material that has been safely used in
the body for many years in other medical products. By
gently shifting sagging tissues in an upward direction,
this technique allows the surgeon to produce a relaxed,
fresh appearance while preserving and enhancing the
natural contours of your face. This procedure does not
replace a conventional facelift; rather it offers
patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach.
A consultation with our
physician who has been fully trained in this procedure
is the first step. To ensure a high level of safety and
accuracy, all physicians must complete a training course
on the surgical technique before using Contour Threads™.
In general, the best
candidates for this procedure include both women and men
in their thirties through their sixties who want a more
youthful appearance, but do not want a conventional full
facelift or browlift procedure.
Possible indications may
include moderate drooping of the soft tissues of the
brow and face and/or poorly defined upper and mid face
contours
