Book Abstract by: Damu    

Original Author: shobha john
Are those wrinkles on your face giving you sleepless nights? Don’t worry.
A new technique known as ‘threading’ to halt
the cruel march of age involves just a few threads to give your face a timeless looks.
A contour thread lift is used to remove early signs of ageing. Small punctures are made in the hairline and areas which need to be pulled up. A needle with thread is inserted through these holes and the loose skin is lifted and pulled back.
Before you lose the thread of the story, let us lay it threadbare. It is a minimally invasive technique for a facelift, with the scars hidden in the hairline.
It is meant for those with early signs of ageing. Of course, the traditional surgical option is still valid for faces with major sagging. Unlike less invasive options such as fillers and botox which have to be repeated every few months, this facelift will last four to five years. Six to eight threads are nee4ded for a full facelift and it is done under local anesthesia. It takes about one and a half hours to perform this correction.
