Threadlift

Jennifer,

Thanks for your question about threadlifting.  We do not perform threadlifts.  I was trained to do threadlifting and even purchased threads.  I never felt that the procedure would work and so I never actually performed the lift.  Now a study has been done that proved my suspicion.  100 patients were looked at after a threadlift at intervals extending out to 6 months.  By six months not one patient had any result that could be detected.  So bottom line is that threadlifting sounds great, but it doesn’t last.  Good news is that there are many other minimally invasive facelifting procedures that do last and have minimal down-time.  There are examples of these procedures on the website.  We would be happy to talk with you in person about these procedures as well.
