If someone (ASPS board certified or otherwise) is advertising that they are "certified" to perform a Threadlift or Featherlift procedure, they probably have recently completed a weekend course and they do not actually have much experience in performing the procedure. Think about it...you never see a reputable board certified surgeon advertising that they are "certified" to perform a breast augmentation! Certification in a procedure does not mean that they are an expert in the procedure...it's their experience that counts. Dr. Summers has been performing Suture Suspension Lifts since the mid-1990's. As one of the first surgeons in the United States to perform a successful series of Suture Suspension Lifts, Dr. Summers has a unique perspective and significant experience with Suture Suspension Lifts. In fact, Dr. Summers wrote a paper on this experience in 1998 which was published in the prestigious Plastic Surgery Journal, and he has presented the technique at national meetings. Additionally, Dr. Summers has experience correcting problems caused by improperly placed Threadlift procedures performed by less experienced physicians. He also has been instrumental in evaluating new modifications in the Threadlift design and subsequent changes to the suture have been made based on his recommendation. In order to obtain the best Threadlift results, Dr. Summers recommends that the sutures be placed slightly deeper than the technique originally taught to surgeons performing the Contour Lift -- this reduces the risk of seeing or feeling the suspension sutures. Also, Dr. Summers recommends that the sutures be secured to the fascia. Based on his extensive experience with Suture Suspension Lifts, Dr. Summers has developed specialized insertion techniques to achieve an up-turning of the corner of the eye and of the corner of the mouth. Dr. Summers can also achieve significantly greater cheek elevation when required, replacing the need for cheek implants.
