Lose the Wrinkles with the Contour Facelift
Advertisement
A few lines around the eyes, patches of sagging skin or age spots may be enough for you to consider facial plastic surgery, but you don’t have to go under the knife with an intensive procedure just yet. The Contour Facelift, also known as the Thread Lift and Contour ThreadLift, is a quick and relatively painless procedure that helps delay the signs of aging. It is proving to be an effective and affordable alternative to conventional facelift surgery and can freshen up your appearance instantly.
What Makes the Contour Facelift Unique?
The procedure works by inserting small barbed threads directly into the skin to create a slight injury in the dermis. When the body detects this injury, it begins to produce collagen which helps bind the tissues and makes the skin stronger and more resilient overall. As the skin continues to heal, wrinkles begin to disappear and the facial compartments are ‘lifted’. Most people see results after 2 to 6 weeks, and continue to see changes for months after the procedure as the skin cells regenerate and collagen production settles. Most people can enjoy results for up to 3 years, and in some cases for up to 10 years after the initial surgery.
How the Contour Facelift is Performed
The key difference between the Contour Facelift and other facial rejuvenation procedures is the method in which the surgeon applies the sutures, and the materials the sutures are made with. The Contour Facelift involves the use of clear threads which makes it easier to hide the threads and scars. The thin treads are inserted through tiny incisions throughout the treatment area. Some surgeons prefer to treat only a couple of key facial compartments, while others will perform surgery on the entire face. The threads are secured to the skin tissues and then pulled back slightly for the ‘lift.’ Once secure, these threads will continue to pull up the face, effectually creating a natural lift as the skin begins to heal.
Are You a Good Candidate for the Contour Facelift?
Men and women approaching middle age, and those who are experiencing extensive skin sagging in the face and neck area are typically the best candidates for the Contour Facelift procedure. The procedure is not as intensive as conventional facelift surgery, and is more convenient since it does not demand a significant amount of downtime and the haling period is brief.
People who want something more permanent than dermal fillers and other skin rejuvenation procedures may be good candidates for the Contour Facelift procedure. The skin must be in relatively good condition so that it can tolerate and hold the sutures, and also regenerate in a timely manner. People with thinning skin or skin disorders that may affect the healing process may not be good candidates for this procedure.
