Contour thread lift is a minimally-invasive cosmetic 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 lift sagging tissues of the brow, face, and neck. Once in position, your body generates new collagen bundles that encapsulate each thread. Contour thread lifts are relatively uncommon now given high complication rates.
