Contour™ Suture Suspension Facelift
Serving Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, and Troy, New York
Have you ever noticed while looking in a mirror how a subtle lift in an upward direction has a striking impact on the overall contours of your face. Contour threadlifting is precisely this concept. It is not a facelift, rather, it an innovative new technique that utilizes specialized barbed threads to lift and suspend sagging skin and soft tissue of the cheeks, forehead and neck. The result is a conservative, yet real rejuvenation of these areas, that is best suited for individuals with moderate skin laxity who do not require or desire the incisions and recovery that goes along with facelift surgery. Albany Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Falk is certified in the Contour™ thread lifting technique, the only FDA approved suture for facial skin lifting.
Procedure
The procedure is performed in the office setting with local infiltration analgesia and mild oral sedations. Any where from two to six pairs of sutures are placed on either side.
Recovery
Recovery from a thread lift is relatively rapid, generally requiring no more than a weekend to recover. Moderate post-procedural swelling and mild discomfort is expected which can easily be controlled with analgesics prescribed by your surgeon. Patients return the following day for reevaluation and minor adjustments of the sutures. There can be gathering of advanced skin behind the ears which can take up to three weeks to resolve. Patients are to restrain from physical exertion or excessive facial animation for 2 weeks.
