Contour Threads™ Dallas

Contour Threads™ are used for:

• Repositioning sagging cheeks
• Lifting sagging eyebrows
• Adjusting asymmetric brows & face

Due to the unique design of the cogs of Contour Threads™, the surrounding tissues act to hold the threads in place without the need for visible scars. For the mid-face procedure, the physician makes a tiny incision close to the ear and the threads are advanced along the previously marked contours toward the chin and jaw line so they create a firm hold on the underlying tissues without causing additional trauma. The cogs do all the work of holding, by being fixated to tissue as they are softly contoured into place.

Once in position, your body generates new collagen bundles that surround each thread to maintain the lifting effect. The exact placement of the threads will vary from patient to patient. Unlike other thread products, Contour Threads™ are clear in color so they are not visible under fair or thin skin.

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 or normal activities in a few days to one week.

Usually only one procedure is needed to achieve the desired lifting effect.

Duration varies depending on the age of the patient at the time of the procedure, the degree of sagging, and the number of threads used. Usually this ranges up to 5 years. Additional threads may be added as needed.

The Contour Threads™ procedure is a simple procedure to perform. Complications are rare, but could have minimal bruising and swelling. Since this technique is entirely reversible, unwanted effects are usually easily corrected under local anesthesia.

Yes. Although this can be a stand alone surgery, additional cosmetic procedures that would enhance the result include Botox® Cosmetic to reduce facial muscle activity, dermal fillers such as Restylane® or Sculptra (liquid facelift) to enhance facial volume, Thermage or Titian for skin tightening and deep chemical peels.

Absolutely. This unique design of Contour Threads™ allows a traditional facelift or brow lift procedure when you are ready.

The cost ranges from $2,000 to $6,500 depending on how many areas are being treated. IV conscious sedation is available with our CRNA (certified registered nurse anesthetist).
