ThreadLift
Atlanta, Georgia
Nonsurgical Face Lift Without Surgery
Dr. Byrd has many years of experience using contour threads. She
is among the first physicians in the U.S. to offer the first and
only minimally invasive facial lift with the FDA-approved barbed
sutures referred to as Threads.
The ThreadLift is an innovative facial rejuvenation procedure
designed to gently elevate sagging brows, cheeks and jowls. This
technique utilizes a clear, non-absorbable barbed structure designed
to hold in — tightening underlying tissues as well as the overlying
skin. Due to the unique design of the delicate filaments used in the
procedure, the surrounding tissues act to hold them in place without
the need for visible scars.
The minimally invasive procedure, done under local anesthesia, takes
about an hour and typically lasts up to five years. Once in
position, the body generates new collagen bundles that surround each
thread to maintain the lifting effect. This is a simple procedure,
with minimal downtime, no scarring and immediate, natural results.
Candidates for this procedure are those looking for minimally
invasive alternatives to stay youthful, those with sagging of the
soft tissue of the face and neck, and those with previous face or
neck lifts that are noticing laxity but are not willing to undergo
another facelift.
