Adjustable face lift
Better than Contour Threadlift in many ways
 The
Advanced Contour Threads or “Adjustable Facelift” has been
deemed the most effective and longest lasting
minimally
invasive technique on the market. Similar to the
procedure of the already existent
Contour Threadlift, the Adjustable Facelift uses newer
threads with barbs that are inserted into small holes (not
incisions) in the hairline. The threads are 30 percent
stronger than their predecessor. They cling onto the
muscle and the skin that is then pulled over a period of
three days to maximize the lift even after swelling. The
Adjustable Lift has significantly less downtime than a
traditional
facelift and unlike the original Contour Thread lift,
no scarring
or obvious knots on the sides of the face.
According to Dr. Nicolette
Picerno, a member of Faces First Center for Cosmetic
Surgery, “I like the Adjustable Facelift because it gives
me the flexibility to go in and fine tune the level of
lifting as the patient heals. This makes the procedure so
much more effective and gives a much better result than
the original Contour Threadlift (TM). What’s more is
that it is very minimally invasive, which means patients
get a long lasting result
without harsh surgery and long
downtimes.”
Cost
for the Adjustable Facelift ranges from $2,200 to
$9,000, depending on the level of lifting needed.
It takes anywhere from 45 minutes to three hours
in the doctor’s office and can be completed
under local anesthesia, not general,
contributing to the low risks of the procedure.
The Adjustable
Facelift is not recommended for patients with a
loss of elasticity in their skin or full round
faces. The results of the procedure last from
three to five years and can be preformed on a
patient multiple times.
