The secret to the feather lift’s success is the insertion of monofilament threads called Aptos threads. These threads are placed under the skin of the face with a needle and together they form a support structure to improve facial features and lift skin where it needs to be lifted. Because of the minimal incisions caused by the needle which inserts the threads, there is no scarring after the procedure has been completed in the majority of cases.

Patients will also be given specific post-surgery care instructions in order to achieve the best results, but the recovery time is relatively short. The cost of a feather lift varies depending on several deciding factors. The average cost is between one and three thousand dollars per procedure because it is a cosmetic surgery and therefore not covered by most medical insurance companies.
