Unique to Dr. Fragen's practice is the FeatherLift™ with Aptos™ thread.

A new method of reversing facial sagging with self-retaining threads. Dr. Fragen hosted the first US seminar in Face Lifting using Aptos™ threads in May of 2002. We have worked with KMI in designing and testing an improved thread design.

The best patients are those with some relaxation a year or two after face lifts, and younger patients who require only limited lifting.

The combination of Botox™ and threading is excellent for the lateral eyebrow and forehead area. This is especially good for men who don't want incisional surgery because of hair style.

The FeatherLift™ can be performed under local anesthesia with a minimal recovery time and can be used in combination with filler materials and resurfacing.

Aptos™ threads are not yet approved for use by the FDA.
