Suture Lifts are a safe and effective procedure that offers subtle, natural-looking results. By gently shifting drooping tissues in an upward direction, this technique allows the physician to produce a relaxed, refreshed appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face.

Dr Ken Macdonald is offering Revitalizing Promoltalia Threads at his practice.

Revitalizing Promoltalia Threads are a unique and patented threads made of either polypropylene (permanent) or Caprolactone/PDO (resorbable) each with special designed barbs. They gently move sagging tissues up and then suspend them through a special technique allowing the surgeon to realise a relaxed and fresh but natural appearance.

Additionally, it preserves and enhances the natural contours of the face. The aim of this procedure is not meant to replace a conventional facelift but rather establishes a minimally invasive approach to a more youthful looking appearance.

Dr Macdonald uses Resorbable threads at his practice which is made of a natural white PDO, a material that has been safely used in the body for many years in other medical products and which disappears 8-12 months after the implant.

How do they work?

Due to the unique design of the specially designed barbs of the Anchorage threads, the surrounding tissues act to hold the threads in place without the need for visible scars. For the mid-face procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision close to the ear and the threads are advanced along the previously marked contours toward the chin and jaw line thus creating a firm hold on the underlying tissues without causing additional trauma. The barbs do the work of holding, by being fixated to tissue as they are softly contoured into place.

How long does the procedure take?

Local anaesthetic with light sedation is used. The procedure duration depends on the number of threads to implant. Generally its around 60-90 minutes.

What are they possible side effects?

Sometimes soreness or light pain can occur, which can be treated with oral analgesic. Sometimes bruising can appear. Cold ice compresses are recommended for the first 2 hours after the procedure.

Can this procedure be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

It is not uncommon to have this procedure combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as: Botox to reduce facial activity; dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid or fat to enhance volume; and fractional laser resurfacing to improve skin texture and collagen formation.
