Area of Science:

  • Aesthetics
  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Facial aging causes soft tissue descent, skin laxity, and reduced mandibular definition.
  • Thread lifting is a minimally invasive method for tissue repositioning and collagen stimulation.
  • A modified technique using Aptos Excellence Visage sutures with a crossing pattern enhances cervicofacial contour.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified thread-lifting technique for cervicofacial rejuvenation.
  • To assess aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
  • To document adverse events associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 22 participants undergoing the modified thread-lifting technique.
  • Insertion of 10 multidirectional barbed threads (5 per side) in a crossing pattern along the mandibular contour.
  • Assessment of aesthetic outcomes via visual analog scale, 2D photography, and 3D imaging; systematic recording of adverse events.

Main Results:

  • High participant satisfaction (90.9%) with significant improvements reported.
  • Objective confirmation of enhanced mandibular contour and skin tightening.
  • Favorable safety profile with transient edema and bruising resolving within 7 days; no reported thread migration, persistent pain, or asymmetry.

Conclusions:

  • The modified thread-lifting technique is a safe and effective minimally invasive option for cervicofacial rejuvenation.
  • The technique provides both immediate mechanical support and biostimulation for natural, long-lasting results.
  • Further research is recommended to validate the long-term efficacy of this approach.
