Background:
Thread lifting is a common procedure in minimally invasive esthetic techniques and can also be used to raise the drooping soft tissue of the forehead by vertically inserting threads into the forehead.
Aims:
This study aimed to examine the effect of forehead thread lifting on enhancing upper eyelid opening.
Methods:
Fifteen patients were included in this study, all of whom underwent eyebrow thread lifting with MINT LIFT® UP. Photographs of the patients were taken before, immediately after, and 1 and 12 weeks after surgery. Changes in the position of the eyebrows and eyelids were measured. The paired t-test was used to determine the statistical significance of differences.
Results:
At 1 week after surgery, the eyebrows were at a lower level compared with before surgery, and no significant changes in eye-opening were observed. However, at 12 weeks after surgery, the eyebrows and upper eyelids were both significantly elevated when compared to the preoperative state.
Conclusions:
Eyebrow lifting can be performed using multidirectional thread lifting.
