I had the contour thread lift done and I’m thrilled with the results. I went in with sagging and wrinkle problems on my whole face from my forehead down to my neck. In total I was having six areas (three on each side) corrected with the contour threads. Before I choose Dr.M Gindi I had done my homework with several other doctors. I choose Dr. Magdi Gindi because he was treating me like a human being and made no fun of me of my needle phobia. For years I was thinking to do this but the phobia hold me back. I think it’s important to go to a doctor/surgeon no matter how small the procedure. He explained more than I wanted to know about the whole process, showed me the threads and demonstrated how they would work by grabbing the skin from underneath. I was nervous about the procedure itself but his thoroughness, his skilled and professional approach made me feel a lot better. The actual procedure took a couple hours and required only local anesthesia. Afterwards I felt okay, maybe a little high from the anesthesia and being nervous, but I was.. I had almost no bruising and very little pain the weeks after. I’m thrilled with the results and it's very natural looking and less invasive than a facelift . It’s not as dramatic as a facelift but I didn’t want that - just something to help ease the effects of aging for a few years. You can’t see the threads through my skin and the only comments I get from people are positive (most of them think I have been sleeping better or am taking a new vitamin to look “rejuvenated”). If I had to do another procedure ,whatever it is I trust my life with him and his beautiful wife
