Abstract
Aging is an inevitable process. Eyebrows, cheeks, mandible, and neck are the areas that are the most vulnerable to the aging process. The most commonly thread lifted areas of the face are the jawline, midface, eyebrows, and the neck. In this retrospective study, patients who were treated with thread-lifting between January 2018 and April 2020 were evaluated and the following were noted: the age and gender of the patient; the type of thread used; number of threads used; treatment area; patient satisfaction; and complications. The effects of age, type of thread used, number of threads used, and treatment area on patient satisfaction were analyzed statistically. The relationship between age and patient satisfaction is statistically insignificant, p=0.697. The relationship between patient satisfaction and the type of the thread used was insignificant, p=0.533. There is no relationship between the number of threads used and patient satisfaction, p=0.783. There is no difference in patient satisfaction between treatment areas, p=0.930. The most commonly observed complications were edema, pain, and ecchymosis. We report that the patient satisfaction in thread-lifting is independent of the patient's age, treatment area, type of thread used, and the number of threads used. Our study is novel as it is the first study to report that the age of the patient and the thread type do not effect patient satisfaction.
