Case of the Month – June 2018

This mini facelift case at our Denver practice illustrates the (many) limitations of a “thread-lift” or 2-hour (or less) “Lunchtime/Weekend Facelift.” Indeed, this 64-year-old woman had undergone one of these procedures 6 years prior (reportedly via a company that is now out-of-business), in an attempt to perform an “isolated lift” of her neck areas, and …

The Demise of Threadlifts?

A recent study performed by Dr. Rima Abraham of Albany Medical College in New York caught my eye, and confirmed what many experienced facelift surgeons have long suspected: Thread Lifts, which purport to lift the soft tissues of the face through the use of barbed sutures inserted under local anesthesia, don't really work, and shouldn't …
