Suture Lift

Suture Lifts gently shift sagging tissues in an upward direction using specially designed internal sutures. This surgery produces a relaxed, fresh appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face.

About Suture Lifts

Dr. Thind of L’Image Cosmetic Surgery says the suture lift or stitch lift is becoming a very popular method for rejuvenating the tired looking face. Chosen clients on whom this procedure is done are able to achieve significant tightening or lifting of the following areas (i.e.) eye brows, cheek, nasolabial folds, jowls and neck.

During Suture Lift Procedure

A stitch is applied to lift the area desired and anchored to a fixed point with a small incision, when doing a brow lift, nasolabial lift or cheek lift. When doing a lift of the jowls and neck a small amount of skin may need to be removed. A small amount of folded skin in front of the ear would shrink in about 6 to 8 weeks.

Achieving the best results

Together with this minimal lift other minimal procedures can be done. Permanent or temporary skin fillers can be used to enlarge the lips fill the nasolabial folds, cheek, chin, corners of mouth and frown lines.

Patient Comfort

The procedure is done under sedation as an outpatient. The actual length of time will depend on the number of sutures used. Down time is about 4 to 5 days.
