Mixed Results on a New Beauty Fix - New York Times
by janelane at 11:02 am EST, Dec 1, 2005

The barbed suture lift, nicknamed the thread lift, is a quick outpatient procedure in which doctors thread serrated plastic sutures through the fatty layer beneath the face and use them to hoist sagging tissue. The idea is to pull the skin taut, so the face looks smoother and more youthful.

Egads!!! Check out the graphic!!!
