 As
the aging process begins, the changes to the facial structure lead
to sagging, deep creases, folds and wrinkles. These usually begin
in your late thirties to early forties.
Now there is a safe and effective
procedure that provides a natural-looking result. The procedure
does not replace the conventional
facelift, however, it does
provide a minimally invasive, less aggressive approach. The
procedure employs special sutures (threads) that are made from
clear polypropylene, a material that has been used in other
medical products for years.
The threads are used to
reposition the sagging cheeks, jowls and neck. They can also lift
sagging eyebrows and adjust an asymmetric face or brows.
These threads have tiny cogs
that, once inserted in the skin, work like umbrellas with tension
to gently lift the sagging tissues. Because of the special design
the surrounding tissues act to hold the threads in place without
the need for visible scars. The body then generates new collagen
that surrounds the thread to maintain the lifting effect.
The Contour Threads™ procedure
usually takes about 60 minutes and, in most cases, there is minimal
discomfort, bruising or swelling. You can usually return to work
or normal activities in a few days to one week.
The length of the results varies
dependent on age, degree of sagging and number of threads used.
During your personal
consultation
with
Dr. Clymer, he will provide complete information on the
technique and what he will do to achieve your desired goal.
