Thread lifting as a modern method of non-radical face rejuvenation
https://doi.org/10.52581/1814-1471/86/02
Abstract
Purpose of the study: The purpose of this review of scientific literature is to collect, systematize and update modern ideas about the types, methods and principles of thread lifting, taking into account the basic requirements for efficiency and safety.
In this paper, we reviewed publications presented in scientific databases: Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Cochran library, Medline, and PubMed Central. The keywords for searching for materials were: thread lift, thread lift history, thread lift sutures, face thread lift, polylactic threads, polydioxanone threads.
The earliest approach to the effective use of thread rejuvenation techniques was the use of non-absorbable threads based on polypropylene, which are still successfully used along with modern threads, among which a special place is occupied by absorbable threads and new modifications of non-absorbable ones, complemented by various fixing design features (notches, cones).
A large selection of threads, techniques and principles of correction allows specialists to create an individual management plan for each patient, and continuity and synergy between the sequential use of different modifications of threads allows one to prolong the results obtained and delay or refuse more radical anti-aging surgeries on the face.
At the same time, as a result of the review of the scientific literature, no published studies were found on the comparative analysis of thread and surgical methods of rejuvenation, which requires further study.
