Abstract :

The use of facelift threads as a new method for removing facial areas drooping, removing wrinkles, and loose skin and is recommended and used extensively and commonly. Following this line, various brands and techniques have been developed for the use of these threads. Here is a brief overview of groups of threads from simple threads to specialized threads and briefly explain. PDO and MONO threads were the first, which were used with the mesh technique and decrease drooping skins and lift them. They were followed by COG threads, that is actually the same simple PDO thread and around the thorns are created and based on the direction of the thorns are subdivided into the following type 2D, 3D, and 4D. These threads have the power of pulling and lifting more than simple threads. APTOS threads are another brand and available in permanent (polypropylene) and restorable (polylactic acid/caprolactone) version. Both materials are safe and widely used in surgery for more than 50 years. Threads are presented with specially designed barbs, meant to carry out both, lifting and revitalizing effect. Once inserted into sub dermal tissue, the barbs lift the skin, creating fibrosis and stimulating formation of new collagen, necessary to provide support for the soft tissues that lift them and hold in an upright position. As a result, better facial contour is visible immediately after the procedure. Silhouette threads are another brand that elevates sagging facial skin with 3D shape of cones. Silhouette Soft® monofilaments are made of Polylactic Acid (PLLA) while the cones are made of poly (L-lactide-coglycolide) (PLGA). They are two biocompatible polymers frequently used in medical devices for their outstanding tolerance in the body. By presenting different cases that have been treated with these threads, compare their effects and examples of different techniques.
