Contour
Threads™ are the only non-absorbable
barbed suture product cleared by the US FDA
for the elevation and fixation of midface, brow
and neck areas. These specifically designed
sutures are fashioned from clear polypropylene,
a material that has been safely used in the
body for many years in other medical products.
As
the ageing process begins, the skin's connective
tissue thins and collagen and elastic fibers
begin to break down.
As
a result, these changes in underlying
support structures appear as sagging,
deep creases, folds and wrinkles in the
skin as early as your thirties. Now there
is a simple new technique that makes it
possible to rejuvenate and beautify your
appearance. Patient selection is critical
for a great result.
A
lift procedure performed with Contour
Threads is a safe, conservative and effective
one that offers subtle, natural looking
results. By gently, shifting sagging tissues
in an upward direction, this technique
allows the surgeon to produce a relaxed,
fresh appearance while preserving and
enhancing the natural contours of your
face. This procedure does not replace
a conventional face-lift; rather it offers
patients an innovative, minimally invasive
approach with immediate results.
What
are Contour Threads™
Contour
Threads™ are a patented self anchoring
thread technology that permits a minimally
invasive surgical approach for elevation
and fixation of skin. Contour Threads™
are the only US FDA product cleared for
market with current indications for elevation
and fixation of midface, brow and neck.
Contour
Threads™ are made from polypropylene,
a material that has been used inside the
human body as a suture material for decades.
Contour Threads™ are designed with patented
dimensional barbs that attach to the sub
dermal tissue, lifting, suspending and
fixating contour of the brow, midface
and neck areas.

- surgical Supplies, USA
Thread
lift has been a disappointing experience
for the patients as well as the doctors.
It is expensive and the results not predictable
or satisfying to the patients. “Contour
threads” manufactured by Surgical Supplies,
USA (one of the only USFDA approved threads)
has suspended its manufacture as communicated
to us.
As
of now we are not recommending it for
reversing ageing changes.
