Before and After Photos by Ricardo L Rodriguez, MD

Dr. Rodriguez performed the thread lift procedure on this patient.The patient wanted a rejuvenation of her face but did not want the longer down time associated with the traditional facelift. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia in his Baltimore office. Dr. Rodriguez uses special Contour Thread sutures in order to achieve the lift. There is no dissecting of the muscle, thus the procedure is tolerated well under local anesthesia. The patient is shown here only 4 days following her procedure! She still has some minor bruising, but the dramatic difference in appearance that she has in just 4 days is quite remarkable.

Dr. Rodriguez performed a thread lift on the mid face region of this patient.

The patient is shown here 10 days following her procedure and her results look very natural.
