How is the Contour Thread Liftä performed?
– The process utilizes patented Contour Threadsä which are the first non-absorbable barbed sutures cleared for marketing by the FDA for lifting the sagging contours of the brow, midface, and neck areas. Unlike conventional sutures which are smooth, Contour Threadsä have tiny barbs or cogs and are made of clear polypropylene, so they are not visible under fair or thin skins. Polypropylene is a material that has been safely used in the body for many years in medical devices. How do Contour Threadsä work? – The physician makes a tiny incision in the temporal (at or near the temples) area and the Contour Threadsä are inserted under the patients’ skin. The tiny barbs on each thread open in an umbrella-like fashion to form a support structure that gently lifts sagging tissues of the brow, face, and neck. Once in position, your body generates new collagen bundles that encapsulate each thread to help maintain the elevation or “lifting effect.” How long will it take? What about recovery? How so
