No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In facial rejuvenating surgery, the current trend calls for fewer and less noticeable scars with desired results. Especially to improve the jowls and nasolabial folds, the thread lift is a simple and inexpensive technique for patients who do not wish to undergo the typical facelift surgery, but the weak points of it are less effective and shorter duration than the conventional facelift.The investigators propose the new method of the thread lifting the subdermal and subcutaneous layer with a fiberoptic needle by use of the retaining ligaments with two fixation points on both temporal fascia and retaining ligaments. For the intraoperative evaluation the tensiometer was applied and for the postoperative evaluation the FACE-Q applied.
