Minimally Invasive Techniques for Facial Rejuvenation Utilizing Polydioxanone Threads

Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2022 Aug;30(3):375-387. doi: 10.1016/j.fsc.2022.03.011.ABSTRACTCosmetic procedures to combat the effects of aging are increasing in demand. Surgical interventions, such as rhytidectomy, have long been the standard method of providing a more youthful appearance. However, these procedures are costly, often require general anesthesia, and have potential risks such as scarring and prolonged recovery. A safe, effective, alternative to surgery is the nonsurgical thread-lift. Nevertheless, proper patient selection is critical for optimal outcomes and for patient and provider satisfaction. Over the past decade, these treatments have gained significant popularity for patients to achieve a more rejuvenated appearance with less complications and minimal downtime.PMID:35934439 | DOI:10.1016/j.fsc.2022.03.011
