Are Contour Thread Lifts permanent?

Contour Threadlifts use permanent barbed sutures and the results are short lived. Save your money and do a procedure that will give you years of benefit. The Lite-lift® is a simpler procedure that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not “Thread-lifts” or “String-lifts”. We do not use the “barbed” sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift® uses longer lasting techniques that are discussed below. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.

Thank you for asking your question. The results of Thread Lifting appears to last about 1.5 years. Placement of extra threads appears to increase the longevity of results. Make a consultation with an experienced oculofacial surgeon.
Good luck!

Contour thread lifts are less commonly used in patients. The ideal treatments for non surgical neck or facelifting include Ultherapy. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

A procedure with patented Contour Threads or Silhouette Threads is a safe, conservative and effective one that offers subtle, natural-looking results. These specially designed sutures are fashioned from clear polypropylene, a material that has been safely used in the body for many years in other medical products. By gently shifting sagging tissues in an upward direction, this technique produces a relaxed, fresh appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face. This procedure does not replace a conventional facelift; rather it offers patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach.In general, the best candidates for this procedure include both women and men in their thirties through their sixties who want a more youthful appearance, but do not want a conventional full facelift or browlift procedure.

The contour thread lift was a surgical gimmick with the promise of less downtime, great results, and a less invasive procedure.  Although the sutures are actually permanent (nonabsorbable), the results are very temporary, lasting several months.  This is a classic procedure with a price to result mismatch.
