Who is a Candidate for Facelift Using Contour Threads Technique?
You may be a candidate for facelift using contour threads technique if you have experienced sagging of the brow and upper face. Also, if you have a tired appearance at the corners of your eyes or tired facial appearance, if you have the appearance of jowls and deep creases between the base of the nose and the corners of the mouth, or if you lack youthful chin and neck contours, then facelift using contour threads technique may be for you.
Intended Results of Facelift Using Contour Threads Technique
Facelift using contour threads technique is intended to create a more rested and youthful contour to the brow, face and neck.
Facelift Using Contour Threads Technique Procedure Description
This facelift procedure is performed by placing contour thread barbed sutures through separate small incisions within the hairline. The barbed thread sutures attach to the subdermal tissue, lifting, suspending and fixating the brow, cheeks and neck.
Using this technique, incisions in front of the ear can be avoided.
The operation is done on an outpatient basis in our own AAAASF Accredited outpatient surgery centre. Your anesthesia will be performed by a board certified anesthesiologist. He or she will be able to provide you with a range of options from a local with mild IV sedation to general anesthesia.
Recuperation and Healing After Facelift Using Contour Threads Technique
You go home with your head and neck wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed the next day. Minimal initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication.
Bruising and swelling decrease to "socially acceptable" levels in 5 to 7 days. The final result is evident in 4 to 6 weeks or sooner with continued improvement for several months.
Complimentary Procedures
Additional procedures that would enhance the result are: Eyelid Lift, Brow Lift, Face Lift, Chemical Peel, Facial Sanding (Dermabrasion), Chin Enlargement, Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty), Fat Suction, and Laser Skin Resurfacing.
