Yes it does work but needs the right type of Silhouette threads and a 2 staged procedure

David Hansen, MD answers: Butt Thread Lift: Could it have worked?

I had a butt Thread Lift. It has been a nightmare you cannot imagine. Now, three surgries later, my butt still looks the same, and it cost me $6,500. Is it even possible for this procedure to work?

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. The new buttock lifts are best done with the 2-0 prolene Silhouette threads which are not barbed but multiple knots with adjacent cones which are sooooooooo much stronger than any previous barbed threads. Also the procedure is done in 2 stages. The first stage is placing the Silhouette threads under local anesthesia. There is no down time and takes about 1 hour. If additional volume is needed then fat injections can be done at this time as well. The threads sit under the skin in the fat layer for a month to form fibrous tissue around the knots and cones. Then 30 days later , stage 2 is pulling the threads up to elevate the buttocks and tying them down . Again all under local anesthesia only. Cost runs roughly $5,000.

New procedures and new techniques are always being developed. This is a great age we live in and this is a great forum for doctors and patients to hear about new stuff that helps us all.

Good Luck,

David Hansen,MD
