Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Barbed tensor threads are established for facial rejuvenation, primarily cheek enhancement.
  • Detailed techniques for barbed thread neck rejuvenation are limited in existing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and analyze a novel technique for minimally invasive neck rejuvenation using barbed threads.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this specific barbed thread placement method for neck lift procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 67 consecutive cases of neck rejuvenation using a mastoid-spanning barbed thread technique.
  • The technique involves a thread crossing the neck midline to enhance cervicomental angle and tension.
  • Data collected over a 34-month period, with an average follow-up of 18 months.

Main Results:

  • High patient satisfaction was reported, with few requests for secondary procedures.
  • Complications were infrequent and minor, with no requirement for thread removal reoperation.
  • The average patient age was 48 years.

Conclusions:

  • Neck rejuvenation utilizing barbed threads that traverse the midline is an effective, minimally invasive technique.
  • This method is particularly suitable for patients exhibiting early signs of neck aging.
  • The described technique offers significant rejuvenation with a favorable safety profile.
