Answer: Ribbon Lifts elevate the muscles of the face with a dissolvable device In a face lift, the SMAS is the facial muscle that is tightened to reduce jowling and drooping of the face. This can be tightened with sutures after lifting, or by placing a ribbon device, attaching it to the muscle and then pulling on the muscle. This device dissolves away after 4 to 6 weeks under the skin.

Answer: Ribbon lift The Ribbon lift is based on an implant that looks like a quarter inch "ribbon" of absorbable material with little teeth that grab at one end and. It looks like its made of plastic and similar in appearance to a cable tie. It is typically placed under the skin to snag the deeper tissues. It is then anchored at a higher location to lift and hold them in place. The extra skin is then removed. Over time the device is completely absorbed (usually 6-12 months. The advantages to these procedures are clear: less surgery. However, the results are generally less than expected and most patients find them unsatisfactory. This is why you will see great initial enthusiasm but rarely see these devices persist over time as their populariy wanes.
