Why Isn't the Contour Thread Lift Available Any More?

I had the contour thread lift about 3 yrs ago, and just heard that procedure is no longer done. What's happening? I was at my dermetologist yesterday and they said "Oh, lots of problems with the threads," and that class action lawsuits had been filed. I would like to be brought up to date on this action and reasons for it.

A: Decrease in popularity of thread lifts

Contour thread lifts generated much enthusiasm and were likely used in individuals who were likely better candidates for traditional surgery.

Disappointing results occurred as a consuquence of unrealistic expectations, pain, visibility, palpability, infection, etc. Given the relatively high cost of the threads, its poularity began to wane and surgeons ceased to recommend it.
