I was considering a JJ Miracle Lift, which is being introduced as an amazingly advanced version of old contour thread lift, and which also seemed too good to be true. I didn't realize it, until I read so many negative reviews here about contour thread lifts. Is it true that JJ Miracle Lift results last only a year maximum (like the old contour thread lift)? I don't want to waste my $4000 on a failure lift.
I hate to say it but there are NO shortcuts in Facelift surgery. I have performed many thread procedures and was universally unimpressed. Even if the initial results we good they did not last.
When I am consulting with a patient I inform them that a mini-facelift is a far better choice to improve facial aging (in a less invasive manner). Of course many patients require a full facelift for adequate rejuvenation --- but even in folks that elect for the mini-lift when they should have had the full lift do better than the thread patients
Depending on where you live the mini-lift if often not that much more expensive than the thread procedure!
I had a Thread Lift on my neck in January, but it came back with no results at all! I went for a second opinion because I can feel the thread behind my ear, where the incision was made. I went to another doctor and told me to go back to my plastic surgeon because of the risk of infection. I made an appointment with my surgeon and said that he will fix this. I don't know what to think and I'm scared. What are the things should I expect when I have it done? How is it usually fixed?
I did quite a few thread lifts when these first came out 4 years ago or so. Truth of the matter is that they really do not work well. When you do get OK results they do not last. Because I did quite a few of these I removed many of the threads. They really come out no problem at all. At the end of the day nothing replaces a goof lift. A mini-lift is usually about the same price as the threads anyhow and gives much better and more predictable results. You would do best to consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area.
