Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Thread lifts are a noninvasive method for correcting ptotic skin.
  • Existing studies have not provided sufficient long-term efficacy data for absorbable threads.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the literature on mid and lower facial absorbable thread lifts.
  • The review covers studies published between October 2018 and December 2022.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
  • Searches were conducted on the PubMed database using terms like 'thread lift,' 'suture suspension,' and 'rhytidectomy.'
  • Included studies focused on techniques with objective results.

Main Results:

  • Twelve studies involving 818 patients were analyzed.
  • Polydioxanone and poly-L-lactic acid/polycaprolactone threads were most common.
  • All patients showed immediate aesthetic improvements, with follow-up to 2 years and mild complications.

Conclusions:

  • Thread lifts provide immediate aesthetic improvement for suitable patients.
  • The risk of severe complications is low.
  • Long-term efficacy data for absorbable thread lifts remain limited.
