SOT: MARIANNO BUSSO/COSMETIC DERMATOLOGIST
"So far plastic surgery has been the best way to correct and reposition
skin into its more juvenile appearance."
BUT FOR MANY PEOPLE-- A FACELIFT SEEMS LIKE A GRUESOME ROAD TO GOOD
LOOKS WITH IT'S LONG RECOVERY PERIOD AND SURGICAL RISKS.
STANDUP:
"But soon patients may have an alternative to the facelfit, with a new
minimally invasive procedure using these tiny threads called the
featherlift."
MADE FROM THE SAME SUTURING MATERIAL ALREADY USED IN PLASTIC SURGERY--
THE THREADS, KNOWN AS APTOS THREADS--ARE UNIQUE.
ON EACH END THEY HAVE OPPOSING SETS OF TEETH, OR COGS. DURING THE
FEATHERLIFT PROCEDURE THE SURGEON INSERTS THE THREADS UNDER THE TISSUES
OF THE FACE WITH A THIN NEEDLE. THE TEETH ON ONE END-- GRAB AND LIFT THE
SAGGING SKIN. THE TEETH ON THE OTHER END ANCHOR THAT SKIN TO THE REST OF
THE FACIAL TISSUES.
DR. BUSSO SAYS, THE FEATHER LIFT IS COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE, THERE ARE
LITTLE RISKS, AND ALMOST NO DOWNTIME.
AND IT TAKES LESS THAN AN HOUR TO PERFORM. FDA APPROVAL IS PENDING, AND
BECAUSE THE PROCEDURE IS STILL INVESTIGATIONAL, WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO
INTERVIEW A PATIENT. BUT THESE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS SUGGEST THE
FEATHERLIFT COULD SOON BECOME A COSMETIC HEAVYWEIGHT. BUT EVEN SO, DR.
BUSSO SAYS IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE.
THE THREADS CAN ONLY CREATE A LITTLE LIFT. SO IF YOU FEEL YOUR FACE
NEEDS A LIITLE BIT MORE WORK, THE FEATHERLIFT PROBABLY WON'T WORK FOR
YOU. DR. SEAN KENNIFF, CBS NEWS. ))
