When You Just Need a Little Lift

The surgeons at Affiliated Dermatology utilize the newest, most innovative techniques to achieve the youthful look our patients desire. Included among these is our Thread-Assisted Lift for aging skin in the brow, midface and jawline areas. The Thread-Assisted Lift is a minimally invasive procedure performed without incisions that lifts and repositions sagging skin. The difference can be seen immediately, and the results can last for several years.
This unique procedure is performed in our accredited outpatient surgical facility adjacent to our office. During the Thread-Assisted Lift, special thin sutures are inserted under the skin in the targeted area. These specially designed threads lift and anchor the skin, resulting in an uplifted, rejuvenated appearance. The tiny pinpoints created to implant the threads are easy to camouflage and quick to heal. Often, the patient can go out to dinner the same evening! Walking and low-impact exercise can be resumed the next day. Strenuous activity and heavy workouts should be avoided for 2-3 weeks.
The Thread-Assisted Lift allows many patients to put off a more extensive facelifting procedure by using small interventions to maintain a smooth facial contour. The procedure is generally performed under light sedation and is best suited for early to moderate facial laxity. Thread-Assisted Lift patients are delighted with the results obtained from this simple, highly effective procedure!
Drs. Scarborough and Bisaccia were featured on the Columbus, Ohio, NBC affiliate for their Thread-Assisted Lift procedure. It was highlighted in the medical segment during the evening news program.
