“Featherlift®” is a new lunch-time cosmetic procedure that lifts the face with threads. It was developed by Moscow based, Georgian cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze.
Drooping is ptosis (pronounced tosis) and aptos is anti-droop or anti-ptosis, hence the name Aptos®.

The threads leave no scars, are simple to insert, have minimal down time, require no bandages, and after care is usually applying ice as needed. This procedure is ideal for younger and middle aged patients. One treatment per area is usually all that is required to achieve the desired results. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour depending on the number of areas being treated. The number of threads required is also dependent on the number of areas being treated.

At this time there less than 250 surgeons in North America trained in the FeatherLift® technique.
