FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- A prominent Farmington Hills plastic surgeon is offering a new plastic surgery procedure for facial improvements that is faster and less invasive than other facial surgeries.

Called "Contour ThreadLift," the procedure is minimally invasive and some facial treatments can be completed in about 30 minutes, said Dr. Michelle Hardaway, owner of the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Laser Center.

"With Contour ThreadLift, we make very small incisions using a special newly developed thread," said Dr. Hardaway. "It is safe, fast, and less expensive than other techniques."

Dr. Hardaway said the procedure can be used to correct sagging skin, wrinkles, folds and creases on the face and neck.

The procedure was made possible by the development of new sutures -- contour threads. These sutures have tiny barbs or cogs and are made of clear polypropylene.

Using these sutures, the physician makes very small incisions and the tiny barbs on each thread open in an umbrella-like fashion, forming a support structure that lifts the tissues of the affected area.

"We perform the procedure with a local anesthetic," said Dr. Hardaway. "Discomfort, swelling and bruising is minimal."

Those wishing more information can call Dr. Hardaway's office at 248-855-6030 or visit her website at http://www.michellehardawaymd.com/
