The Contour ThreadLift™

The ThreadLift is a simple, office based, outpatient non-surgical facelift procedure. The ThreadLift is a revolutionary non-invasive facelift procedure that uses fine surgical threads to lift the droopy areas of the brow, cheeks, jowl and neck. There are two components to the ThreadLift that result in the amazing non-surgical lift effects. In the first part of the ThreadLift, smooth and barbed prolene facelift sutures are used to loop around or “lasso” fixation points on the droopy brow, cheek, jowl and neck. This “lasso” lift is performed under local freezing and the threads are introduced using a hollow bore needle. The LoopLift provides lift and support to these droopy regions.

Is it true? No Surgery. No Downtime. No Knife. Big Lift!

The second part of the ThreadLift™ provides additional lift and shaping and uses tiny “barbed” prolene threads, which are normal surgical sutures modified with little “cogs” on them, making them like tiny fish-hooks or porcupine quills. The barbed threads, like the LoopLift™ Threads are inserted into the deep fat of the droopy facial elements using a hollow bore needle. The needle is with drawn and the barbed threads capture the droopy deep face, allowing the physician to lift, sculpt and shape the brow, cheeks and jowl. At the completion of the procedure, the threads are cut short. The lift effects are immediate and the risk and recovery minimal.

Who is a ThreadLift Candidate?

Good candidates for a ThreadLift™ are those patients who are starting to see some droopiness of the brow, cheeks, jowls and/or neck and would like to see a lift effect, BUT, do not want the risk, scars, or recovery of a real brow lift, facelift, or neck lift operation. Good candidates must have realistic expectations and be prepared to follow the postoperative recovery protocol and must be accepting of the risks.

Poor candidates include those patients with unrealistic expectations, have Uncontrolled medical illnesses that affect would healing, are grossly overweight (with heavy faces) or are excessively thin, loose skin. The ThreadLift™ may be combined with other, more minor surgical procedures, Such as blepharoplasty (lid lift procedures), liposuction, micro fat transplantation, Botox, Injectable Fillers, Thermalift-Thermage or I.P.L. Photo facial treatments.
