Abstract

Aging is unpreventable, although its symptoms vary a lot among individuals because of the genetic determinants and one's life habits. Sun exposure, bad habits like excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking accelerate the aging process and urge people to seek for a solution to reverse the changes, especially for the most prominent part of our body, the face. Unfortunately, there is no one simple solution for that, and it includes a bunch of surgical and non-surgical interventions. Relatively simple methods have fewer risks, but the reversal effect is also minor. This includes neurotoxin and filler injections as well as energy-based devices. More competent surgical options, alas, come with a long and difficult recovery period and diverse, sometimes inevitable, complications. Most of the time, people are scared of the surgery and accept less invasive methods. Among these, thread lift is perceived as the missing link between the surgery and non-invasive methods. Unfortunately, up to recent years, the results of threads have not been promising, and they also have many complications. A new type of thread originated in France, made of silicone and polyester, gives promising results. This paper reviews the history and specifications of the threads and tries to explain the logic of their use in facial rejuvenation.

Highlights

  • Aging is a degenerative process and a complex biological phenomenon caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors (Charlesde-Sá et al, 2018)

  • There are many variations, Both patients and the doctors need a bridge between the polydioxanone threads for facial rejuvenation can be classified surgery and non-surgical rejuvenation (Celik, 2020c)

  • Thread lifting has come to its current place after a long journey (Savoia et al, 2014), which began in the nineties with non-absorbable polypropylene threads

Summary

Introduction

Aging is a degenerative process and a complex biological phenomenon caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors (Charlesde-Sá et al, 2018). The neck and face are sunexposed areas like hands These areas are under an overlapping influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, which produces a more complex and faster aging process (Fisher et al, 2002). It is important to individualize the repositioning by the sutures' cones, makes these kinds of relationship between the lower face, jawline, and neck Some of the lower facial tissues descend (Goldberg, 2020) Another kind of absorbable thread that is used for facial crucial to accomplish a substantial improvement in the aesthetics rejuvenation is polydioxanone (PDO). There are many variations, Both patients and the doctors need a bridge between the polydioxanone threads for facial rejuvenation can be classified surgery and non-surgical rejuvenation (Celik, 2020c). For more roughly into three different types: than two decades, thread lift methods tried to fill this gap, in vain, most of the time
