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.
Contour threads were a reasonable alternative to facelift for a segment of the population. However, the manufacturer was sold and then stopped marketing them. This might have resulted from litigation because the threads were available to any physician who was willing to purchase them, not board certified plastic surgeons but I was told that they also weren't profitable.
I've read that Contour Thread Lifts are both permanent and temporary; which is it?
Yes. The contour threads are permanent. However, the face will continue to age naturally. Typically, my patients who are looking for a minimally invasive procedure like this will repeat the procedure in 2-5 years or opt for a facelift.
