Ask to speak with [edited for same reason] Angiotech Pharmaccuticals, is a clinical manager and asks questions to benefit their company. Do not answer his specific questions but you ask questions. Use caution if you speak to him, he is very kind and pursauding to benefit the company and may use the information later in order to protect the company during a civil suit. He will promise you that your cost of the procedure will be refunded; of which he will not follow through with and makes it the physicians responsibility. No one person can pursue this himself as a lawsuit. A civil suit is the only alternative we have. I too have a disaster from the contour thread lift.

These non-absorbable threads are no longer being manufactured by Surgical Specialties Corporation, 100 Dennis Drive, Reading, PA 19606 U.S.A. 610-404-1000, however, these people will not speak with you.

I too had a horrible experience! I had 4 contour threads used for a brow lift 6 months ago and now the little thread hairs have popped out all over my forehead. They look like pimples. I have an appointment in 2 weeks to get them taken out. Free of course! Sherri Spiral Haircase

Also had Contour thread lift little over a year ago. What a nightmare! I have tremendous nerve damage and nothing but pain ever since! Severe headaches at times...sharp pains...pimples on my forehead, as well. My doctor and the Contour website at the time clearly stated that these were totally reversible..not true..in fact, Contour changed their website later to say "reversible only after 4 weeks." My doctor would not take them out..said he couldn't..that they would break off and they have probably started to breakdown. Please let me know if your doctor will take them out!
