Regarding a contour thread lift procedure I had done on me 2 1/2 years ago is it possible to remove the 16 threads I had put in? Even if I live with constant discomfort I fear more complications. Can you tell me of similar cases...and what would you recommend?
Removal of the original thread lift sutures is very easy. Make the incision where the thread is palpated threw the skin and grab it with a hemostat an pull it out if it is distal it comes out without much of a pull, it it is not palpated distally find the insertion site and make a Small incision and pull it will come with Little resistance and the patient will feel it but it is tolerable.
When the thread lift first came out I did several and over the first few years some needed to be removed but it was not a big problem and tissue easily separated from the suture.
How long after a thread lift (absorbable) can I perform contact sports such as boxing and jiu-jitsu?
Check with your doctor for sure, but 6 weeks should do the trick. By the way, taking blows to the head as in from boxing and jiu-jitsu has been proven to cause brain damage.
