“Countour Threads-fantastic Improvement and Natural Looking”
Worth It
Spent: $3,200 in Littleton, CO
Pros-very natural looking and less invasive than a facelift; Cons-occasional prickly feeling on one suture. Why I did it: Asymmetry on right side produced a tired/sad appearance. I wanted a balanced and refreshed look without a surgical appearance. I also had a lower blepharoplasty and...

“The Threads Broke...twice!!”
Not Worth It
Spent: $3,800 in North Carolina
When I first had the procedure (2007), I had 8 threads; four per side. As a woman of color, my skin was not wrinkled, but I was getting those deep lines from nose to mouth and a bit of sagging. The pain and the swelling was horrendous for about two weeks; that's when I woke up to find one side...

“Realistic Contour Lift”
Worth It
Spent: $1,500 in Los Angeles, CA
Had a contour brow lift 2 1/2 weeks ago. Love the look. Friends say it has taken 10 years off of my 45-year-old face!
The procedure itself was done under a local and was uneventful. (I will never forget the odd crushing sound, however). The doctor sent me home with Darvocet, which was not a...

“My 3 Year Nightmare”
Not Worth It
Spent: $2,500 in Valparaiso, IN
Never again. Three years later, I am still suffering from infections and head pain. The experience itself was very painful and the result of the thread lift lasted only about a month. One of the selling points was that the doctor could go back in and re-adjust the threads as needed. When I...

I had the contour thread lift done and I’m thrilled with the results. I went in with problems mostly with my lower face from my cheeks down to my neck. In total I was having six areas (three on each side) corrected with the contour threads.

“Contour Threads Just Sagged with the Rest of my Face After a Few Months”
Not Worth It
Spent: $4,000 in Beaumont, TX
I got contour threads for the same reason everyone else does – because it’s marketed as a low-priced, non-surgical alternative to a facelift. In fact, I think it’s aimed at the not-so-elderly crowd of 50s-somethings like me too – people whose faces aren’t quite bad...

Contour thread lift: was it worth it?
Contour Thread Lift Information
Contour thread lift is a minimally-invasive plastic surgery procedure where clear threads with tiny barbs are inserted into your facial skin tissue. By hooking onto this tissue the thread acts as a mechanism for lifting and tightening your skin. The contour thread lift barbs are designed to address sagging tissues of the brow, face, and neck without the recovery time and cost of facelift surgery. Contour thread lifts are rarely done in the US given the history of complications.
