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.
Contour Threads™ is a safe,
conservative and effective procedure 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
shifting 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 with little downtime and can
be done under local anesthesia. Contour Threads™ were approved by the
FDA in March 2005 and are the only FDA approved threads.
