Abstract
Facial aging is a multifactorial process in which considerable changes occur in different face structures. Thread lifting is one of the most common minimally invasive treatments related to facial rejuvenation. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of jawline, jaw angle, and marionette lines correction in combination with APTOS threads and ELLANSE M types through an innovative technique. In this prospective chart review study, 50 patients with ptosis candidates for lower face correction were included between October 2019 and February 2020. To perform correction of the jawline, jaw angle, and marionette lines, APTOS thread (LLN2GS) and ELLANSE M type were used through an innovative technique. The efficacy (6 and 12months after the surgery) and safety (1, 6, and 8weeks after the surgery) were assessed by two surgeons independently. Data were analyzed by SPSS ver. 22 for windows (IBM Inc.). In this study, 50 patients (4male and 46 female) with Mean±SD age of 53.84±10.79years old (Range: 42years) were included. Regarding the results, patients' level of satisfaction (improved to excellent levels) increased from 74% at 6months after the surgery to 86% at 12months after the surgery. Moreover, the level of satisfaction obtained from surgeons (improved to excellent levels) decreased from 96% to 86% at 6 and 12months after the surgery, respectively. Based on the results, there were substantial and perfect agreements between the surgeon and the independent surgeon to evaluate the surgery efficacy of facial rejuvenation 6 and 12months after the surgery. No side effects were reported 6 and 8weeks after surgery. Regarding the results, due to rare complications, deep satisfaction, and short downtime, the correction of the lower face in combination with APTOS thread (LLN2G) and ELLANSE M type through our innovative technique be considered an efficient and safe treatment.
