I had the contour thread lift about 3 yrs ago, and just heard that procedure is no longer done. What's happening? I was at my dermetologist yesterday and they said "Oh, lots of problems with the threads," and that class action lawsuits had been filed. I would like to be brought up to date on this action and reasons for it.

Answer: Decrease in popularity of thread lifts Contour thread lifts generated much enthusiasm and were likely used in individuals who were likely better candidates for traditional surgery.

Answer: Contour Thread Lift Thank you for your question. Contour Thread Lifts use permanent sutures in the skin and has many disadvantages. I would recommend looking into Silhouette Instalift which is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the deeper layers of skin on a patient’s face and neck. This new target area makes the procedure stand out from existing procedures that only treat the surface or outer layers of the skin. InstaLift has absorbable lift sutures that tighten the skin and stimulate collagen as they dissolve over time. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
