Contour threads
Contour Threads
Contour Threads (pronunciation: /ˈkɒntʊər θrɛdz/) are a type of cosmetic surgery procedure used to lift sagging skin and improve facial contours.
Etymology
The term "Contour Threads" is derived from the English words "contour," meaning the shape or form of something, and "threads," referring to the thin strands of Polypropylene used in the procedure.
Procedure
The Contour Threads procedure involves the insertion of thin, clear Polypropylene threads under the skin. These threads have tiny barbs that catch onto the skin tissue, allowing the surgeon to pull the threads tight and lift sagging skin. The threads are left in place, providing a supportive structure for the skin and maintaining the lift.
