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. In
general the best candidates for this procedure include both women and
men in their thirties through sixties who want a more youthful appearance, but
do not want a conventional full
facelift or
browlift procedure.
Contour ThreadsTM are used
to reposition sagging cheeks, lift sagging eyebrows, and adjust
asymmetric brows and face. The procedure is quick and usually
performed under local IV sedation. The actual length of time
will depend on the number of threads used.
A typical procedure usually takes
about 60 minutes to perform. In most cases, there is minimal
discomfort, bruising and swelling. Ice compresses are
recommended for the first 24-48 hours. Patients can usually
return to work on normal activities in a few days to one week.
Usually only one procedure is needed to achieve the desired lifting
effect.
