(Montreal) Dr. Yves Hébert and Dr. Stanojlovic, of Montreal’s Médecine Esthétique Dr. Yves Hébert, now offer the latest in minimally invasive cosmetic surgery with Contour ThreadLift. This procedure is an ideal scar-free solution that gently lifts the patient’s own tissue without the incisions and trauma of a traditional face, brow or neck lift surgery.
Dr. Stanojlovic has been recently certified to conduct a Contour ThreadLift.
Contour ThreadLift is a technique of elevation and repositioning of the skin on the face by means of wires which are inserted under the skin to raise it. It is a safe and effective procedure that offers subtle, natural-looking results. The end result is a relaxed, refreshed appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of the face.
“This technique gives very beautiful results between resurfacing laser treatments and facelift surgeries, therefore it is ideal for the patient who does not want surgery,” says
Dr. Yves Hébert. “Contour ThreadLift does not replace a conventional facelift; rather it offers patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach to achieving facelift-like results.”
He adds, “A Contour ThreadLift can, depending on the patient’s age, last from three to five years or more. As well, over time, the threads can be gently tightened for added support, or additional threads added as needed.”
Contour ThreadLift can be used to:
- Lift sagging eyebrows.
- Adjust asymmetric brows.
- Reposition sagging cheeks.
- Lift drooping soft tissues of the mid and lower face.
- Smooth out premature skin aging.
Contour Threads are the first non-absorbable barbed sutures for lifting the sagging contours of the brow, midface and neck areas. Unlike conventional sutures, which are smooth, Contour Threads have tine barbs or cogs and are made of clear polypropylene, so they are not visible under fair or thin skin. Polypropylene is a material that has been safely used in the body for many years in medical devices.
A Contour ThreadLift takes about one hour on average and the patient returns to normal activities within a few days. There is minimal discomfort, bruising or swelling.
It is a procedure that is an ideal complement to other facial rejuvenation techniques. Depending on the desired results, it is common to have a Contour ThreadLift combined with botox to reduce facial muscle activity, dermal fillers to enhance volume, or peels or laser therapy to improve skin textures. Should a patient later decide to have a traditional face or brow lift, the unique design of Contour Threads make it easy for a certified plastic surgeon to undertake the procedure.
