How it works.
A Contour ThreadLift™
with patented Contour Threads™ is a minimally
invasive, safe and effective non-surgical procedure that offers subtle,
natural-looking facelift-like results. Contour threads™
are tiny surgical sutures that lift and support the droopy areas of the
brow, cheeks, face and neck.
The threads are inserted with a long needle. Under the skin, they open
like an umbrella to gently lift and reposition the tissues. Once the
needle is removed, the end of the thread is cut and knotted, allowing it
to retract deep under the skin where it cannot be felt or seen. The
non-absorbable threads stay within the deep tissues and provide support.
Contour Threads™ are clear, so they can't be seen
under fair
or thin skin. Your body generates new collagen bundles that surround each
thread to maintain the lifting effect.
A Contour ThreadLift™ usually takes less than 30 to
60 minutes to complete, depending on the number of threads used. Patients
are able to go home soon after the procedure.
Will it hurt?
In most cases, only local anesthesia is
required. Your physician may also offer light sedation or twilight
anesthesia. General anesthesia is not necessary for this technique. Pain
and discomfort are minimal, and
most patients can take only Tylenol for pain relief. In most cases, ice
compresses are recommended for the first 24-48 hours. When performed by a
certified physician with experience, the procedure is very safe. The risks
and complications are uncommon and usually easily correctable.
The actual sutures are made from polypropylene, which is a material that
has been used in brain, heart and abdominal surgery for many years.
Postreatment instructions:
Following a Contour
ThreadLift™ procedure, you will have to avoid
traumatizing or dislodging the threads from the deep fat of the face and
neck. Don't rub your face. Sleep on your back, and use minimal facial
animations for three weeks. Depending upon your job and your tolerance for
some minor bruising and swelling, you may be able to
return to work in 2-3 days following the procedure. Most patients look
good in makeup after one week.
The results.
The effects are immediate. Many patients
can achieve a 50% improvement after one treatment session. Results will
vary from patient to patient. Contour Threads™ do
not dissolve over time.
