Objectives: Learn the Asian face characteristic and the new design placement and vector for “thread lifting” without make some special feature(such as prominent zygoma) worse
Introduction: There are many signs of an aging face, including volume loss (sunkeness/depression), wrinkles, folds, laxity, sagging, pigmentations, and changes in skin texture. Among these, sagging is usually treated with surgical intervention of face-lift procedures.
Materials / method: In recent years, thread lifting, one of the minimal invasive approaches available to treat sagging, has become increasingly popular. Asian patients usually have prominent zygomatic bone.
Results: Patient selection, thread lift design and placement level, and operator technique are the three key factors for this procedure, and the physician should pay careful attention to all three to achieve an optimal result and patient satisfaction.
Conclusion: In this presentation, I will present new design methods of the thread lift procedure for Asian patients with the prominent zygomatic bone condition.
