Objectives: Objectives may include understanding the principles of thread lifting techniques, recognizing suitable candidates for the procedure, mastering the insertion techniques for threads, learning about potential complications and how to manage them, gaining knowledge on the correct aftercare protocols for patients, and familiarizing oneself with the latest advancements in thread lifting technologies. Overall, the aim is to equip aesthetic doctors with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely and effectively perform facelift procedures using threads.

Objectives: Assess the performance and safety of non-absorbable thread lift

Introduction: The demand for facial rejuvenation remains high in surgical and aesthetic medicine. Surgical cervicofacial lifting is a radical approach to mitigate the signs of aging. For patients reluctant to undergo invasive surgery, tension threads are particularly appealing. This clinical study aims to evaluate the performance and safety of non-absorbable thread lifts under real conditions, with the primary objective of measuring their ability to support tissues 12 months post-procedure, based on patient satisfaction.

Materials / method: The study is a prospective research conducted across multiple centers, including the Henri Mondor University Hospital. It focuses on the clinical evaluation of non-absorbable thread lift. Recommended for men and women aged 35 to 75 years with mild facial sagging, these threads are also an option for older individuals who prefer to avoid more invasive surgery, provided their skin condition allows it. The main indications include cheek lifting, reduction of nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and enhancement of the facial contour.

Results: Follow-up consultations were carried out at 1 week, 3 months, and 12 months after the threads were placed. Overall, the threads maintained tissue effectively, with high patient satisfaction reported. Of the initial 60 patients, two were lost to follow-up by the third month. Four patients reported no difference at the three-month follow-up, and one case of infection was resolved with antibiotic treatment.

Conclusion: The non-absorbable thread lifts demonstrated positive outcomes, particularly in cheek lifting, reducing nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and enhancing the facial contour. The study confirms the importance of choosing an appropriate thread thickness to prevent them from being perceptible under the skin. We plan to continue monitoring the patients over a 5-year period to assess the long-term performance and safety.

Objectives: Classify patients according to skin quality, degree of sagging, soft tissue changes and propose a combination of technologies and injectables to restore facial contour.

Introduction: Loss of facial contour continues to be the main complaint of patients and a major challenge for us doctors.
Probably due to the fact that the aging process affects all structures of the lower third and neck, including bones, muscles, ligaments, fascia, fat compartments and skin.
A precise diagnosis and stratigraphic combination of treatments are necessary.

Materials / method: 4 patients between 45 and 54 years old were selected with similar complaints of sagging neck and loss of facial contour and after classification they were treated with microneedling radiofrequency, macro and microfocused ultrasound, poly-l-lactic acid, hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin.

Results: 1-year follow-up of 4 different profiles of patients with moderate changes in facial contour who underwent minimally invasive treatments during a period of 90 days.

Conclusion: The precise diagnosis of changes in the structures of the face and neck, stratigraphic planning and concomitant minimally invasive treatments and the exact sequence of these treatments have proven to be efficient in correcting cervical sagging and restoring facial contour.
