Curl Lift
Developed in France, the Curl lift has been used for over 30 years. Sometimes called the Soft Lift, this minimally invasive procedure is for lifting sagging tired skin on areas of the face. Using needles and non-absorbable threads, the surgeon pulls up sagging skin in a loop fashion and secures the nylon threads to a stationary point on the scalp. A Curl Lift is not for those with extremely sagging skin. The surgeon can lift the areas of the brows, cheeks, and jowls. It will also soften the look of the nasolabial folds (creases from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin). Candidates who respond best are young and middle aged who are not yet ready for major surgery, and those who have had a previous face lift and just need to be ”freshened up”. Because of the limited invasiveness of the Curl lift, it is done under local anesthetic and has minimal downtime, minimal discomfort and minimal side effects. Additional benefits of the Curl lift is the results are immediate and if the result is not to the patients liking, the physician can add additional threads for an increased lift or can remove the threads should the patient not be pleased with the results. As with any procedure, you should discuss your options and realistic expectations with your certified physician.
