Contour ThreadLift

The Beauty of Contour Threads

As the aging process begins, your tissue thins because the collagen and elastin fibers break down. The resulting changes are seen as sagging, deep creases, folds, and wrinkles that usually begin to appear in you thirties. In general, the best candidates for a Contour ThreadLift include both women and men in their thirties to their sixties who want a more dramatic and long lasting effect than fillers and botulinum toxin or other treatments can provide, but do not want a full face lift or brow lift procedure.

A Contour ThreadLift with patented Contour Threads is a safe and effective procedure that offers subtle, natural-looking results. This technique allows the physician to produce a relaxed, refreshed appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face. Contour ThreadLift does not replace a conventional facelift; rather it offers patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach to achieving facelift-like results.

"A Contour ThreadLift provides an ideal, scar-free solution to gently lift the patient's own tissue without the incisions and trauma of traditional face, brow or neck lift surgery," says Contour Threads Medical Director, plastic surgeon Dr. Greg Ruff.

A consultation with a physician who has been fully trained in the Contour ThreadLift technique is your first step. During your consultation, the physician will evaluate you goals and specific anatomical considerations including skin quality, degree of sagging underlying bone structure, and where you desire a lifting effect. The more Contour Threads used at one time, the greater the lift you can achieve. To ensure a high level of safety and accuracy, all physicians must complete a comprehensive training course on the Contour ThreadLift surgical technique before using Contour Threads.

What areas can be treated with a Contour ThreadLift?

In properly selected patients, the Contour ThoreadLift can be used to:

-Lift sagging eyebrows -Adjust asymmetric brows
-Reposition sagging cheeks
-lift drooping soft tissues of the mid and lower face
-Smooth out premature skin aging
