I have heard of a "one-stitch" lift. Is there really such a thing? Apparently a doctor does a stitch, that lifts the skin a bit, up along the hairline. Is this a good procedure?

Answer: "One Stitch Lift" There have been many developments like the "one stitch" threadlift throughout the years. These procedures almost always result in disappointing outcomes for the patient and surgeon alike. There is no substitute for a true facelift procedure that tightens both the muscle layers under the skin AND the skin itself. More techniques like this will probably be attempted in the future, but until then, I will continue to offer my patients procedures that I know work and are long-lasting when they are looking for cheek and neck rejuvenation. Be sure to see an expert.

Answer: Fix All This is when we use a suture to do exactly what you are explaining. We can suspend the tissues with this. There are some major downfalls with this technique though. # 1 it is temporary. The sutures are absorbed and no skin is removed so once the suture is gone, the lift returns to where it was. # 2 There is no skin removed so there can be bunching of the skin in the hairline.Overall, I am not a fan of this procedure. I prefer to see the muscles, move the tissue and get predictable results. To each their own I suppose.I hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Facelift with one stitch No facelift can hang on one stitch. This is at best an advertising gimmick. On similar lines, Silhouette lifts, Contour threads, Threadlifts, Featherlift et all going by many other fancy names have only garnered bad press / reviews, are ineffective, with results that are short lived, disappointing & heavy on the pocket.
