Skinny face and Threadlift

[logical1]

When I first heard of the "Threadlift" I was told I was too thin and the threads would show.  The plastics guy I go to now, and he is well known  and respected in the Baltimore/Pikesville area still believes the threads will show.  I trust him  100%, however I would like to know your criteria for "the good candidate", in general. It seems as though your  practice does it on skinny faces but with different threads.....Could be wrong, which is why I ask. 
I would like to have the lower portion done,(you section the face off in 3 parts if requested )  in conjunction with what I do regularly  Restylane for lips, Botox for lines around mouth , over eyes and forehead.   
If this a viable option I would like to hear from the Doc or  anyone thin who has had this done ( note: thin face, not thin skin.)
Also, would a filler like Radiesse achieve the same or almost the same result if used to plump and fill around your cheeks...I guess if injected from the bottom of the cheekbone and filing in the cheek?   I know it won't last as long, but I thought I would throw it in. Sorry if I went off topic a little
Thanks

The technique I have developed is very different from the technique other surgeons have used.  Also, the "threads" we use are a smaller diameter than the "Contour" sutures, which further reduces the chance that the sutures would be seen.  In fact, if a patient can see the sutures, then they should be adjusted -- if this were to happen with any of my patients, I would correct the problem at no charge to the patient.

If you have noticed that your cheeks and/or jowls have dropped a bit, and you still have reasonably good skin elasticity, then you may be a very good candidate for the threadlift facelift procedure.  Since you are local to me, the best way to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure is to come in for an evaluation.

Fillers (such as Radiesse) or volumizers (such as Sculptra) are viable options -- I occasionally recommend these injectable materials instead of (or in addition to) the suture lift procedure.  The injectables can certainly plump the cheeks nicely and even give the appearance of a full cheek (as a cheek implant would), if desired.
