It is a defunked procedure

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: What is a Featherlift?

I have heard of a procedure called a Featherlift. What is a Featherlift and how is it different from a facelift?

A few years ago, a great deal of interest came about with the concept of lifting the face and brows using barbed sutures without open surgery.  Unfortunately, these procedures proved to be very expensive and didn't produce results that lasted even a year in most cases.  These procedures carried different names such as "featherlift" and "threadlift."  Rarely do you see any real plastic surgeons doing these anymore.
