Thread Lift St. Louis

The thread lift is an excellent procedure for a small group of patients that have a minimal amount of skin that needs to be repositioned in the cheek and jawline areas. The threads are placed under your skin under local anesthesia in the office. Dr. Michele Koo, MD, FACS will be very honest with you as to what the best procedure is for you. She would rather you have the right procedure and receive the most value for your time and money than have you undergo a surgery that is not the best for you. Her trademark is making you beautiful and happy through the procedures and products that are perfect for you, and nothing short of that will do.

About The Thread Lift Procedure

Thread Lift St. Louis For patients who desire a younger appearance of the mid-face and brow without undergoing a facelift or brow lift, a new minimally invasive procedure is available from Dr. Koo. FDA-approved Contour Threads™ are thin, flexible sutures that are threaded underneath the skin from the ear to the hairline to rejuvenate sagging foreheads, eyebrows and cheeks. When the threads are pulled gently, tiny barbs lift the sagging tissue into a subtly higher, more youthful position that reflects the patient's natural facial contours. The sutures are left in place to maintain the effects, which are further enhanced and supported over time as the body produces natural collagen and elastin fibers around the threads. The entire procedure takes about an hour under local anesthesia in Dr. Koo's office.

Contour Threads™ are colorless, so they can't be seen even in patients with pale or thin skin. They are made of polypropylene, a material used in dissolveable stitches. The threads can be removed later on for patients who choose to have a facelift or brow lift or who wish to reverse the procedure. Dr. Koo works one-on-one with each patient in order to develop the most effective treatment plan for their desired goals.
