Best to Avoid this Procedure

Hello,

I agree with the advice given here.

A "One Stitch Lift" is a procedure that uses a barbed suture that stays in place or a ribbon with little hooks on it that absorbs over time.  The goal being to "hook" and elevate the sagging tissues through a small incision.  Sounds good but...

These types of procedures have fallen out of favor and would only be recommended in very, very subtle or unique circumstances.  Some Surgeons do feel they can be beneficially used for minimal brow lifts but as far as jowls or jawlines not much long term success has been noted.

I have revised many "one stitch" lifts that have been referred to me over the years.

Never heard of this, but it is most likely a marketing tool by some company that wants to promote "facelifting procedure." One stitch probably will last one minute!
