As the aging process begins, the connective tissue thins and collagen and elastic fibers break down. These changes in the support structures appear as sagging deep creases, folds and wrinkles that can appear in your thirties.

A procedure with patented Contour Threads™ is a safe, conservative and effective one that offers subtle, natural-looking results. These specially designed sutures are fashioned from clear polypropylene, a material that has been safely used in the body for many years in other medical products. By gently sifting 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 facelift; rather it offers patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach.

A consultation with Dr.Kim, who has been fully trained in this procedure, is the first step. To ensure a high level of safety and accuracy, all physicians must complete a training course on the surgical technique before using Contour Threadsä.

In general, the best candidates for this procedure include both women and men in their thirties through their sixties who want a more youthful appearance, but do not want a conventional full facelift, browlift or neck procedure.

Possible indications may include:

• Moderate drooping of the soft tissues of the brow, face and neck
• Poorly defined upper, lower, midface and neck contours
