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 sifting 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 Dr. Smith, 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 Threadsä.
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, browlift or neck procedure.
Possible indications may include:
- Moderate drooping of the soft tissues
of the brow, face and neck
- Poorly defined upper, lower, midface and neck contours
