Aptos Lift - Feather Lift -  Extended Suture Lift

Lift without scars

Are your cheeks beginning to sag? Do you want to wait with a Mini Lift or a Face Lift?  Are you not happy with your tired look? In that case an EXTENDED SUTURE LIFT or THREAD LIFT is what you may want.

SERDEV THREAD LIFTS are very effective (years) for: Lifting the eyebrows Aptos thread lifts are less effective (months) for: Lifting the tissues surrounding the cheeks To strengthen the eye contour. No removal of excess skin. Surgery without scars.

Aptos

A THREAD Lift can lift sagging underlying tissues without having surgery.

The technique was developed in Russia in 1999 and is frequently called the APTOS or Feather Lift.  APTOS: origins from A-PTOSIS – anti-sagging.  The technique has since been improved.

Tread lift Surgery provides quick and relatively bloodless lifting for patients who may need only little to moderate rejuvenation.

SLOWLY RESOLVABLE THREADS

In the WELLNESS KLINIEK we use the most modern materials: we use elastic, anti-biotic treads which are more flexible and slowly resolvable, preventing possible rejection.

The sutures are strongly anchored like loops above the problematic area.

The surgeon makes a small incision from about 1 cm at 1, 2 or 3 places to anchor the threads subcutaneously.  This threading is done with a very long needle through the skin into deeper soft tissue structures.

The subcutaneous antibiotic loops support the tissues under the skin.

The Special antibiotic-coated Serdev sutures that are being used at the Wellness Kliniek dissolve slowly. They disappear after a few months, whenever the biological collagen synthesis has taken place and tissue has grown together. Any possible rejection of the sutures is prevented this way.

Aptos sutures are also available in slowly dissolvable material, which avoids long term extrusion, after the effect is gone.

The procedure takes about 20 to 40 minutes and can be done under local anaesthesia.  If wished for, light sleep anaesthesia can be applied.

There are very few side effects and minimum blood loss.  Recovery is fast.  Commonly, you can start your normal daily activities after a few days.  The procedure is part of a new evolution (since 1999) and seems promising but still needs to prove itself on the long run.
