Objectives: Vector and facial layer is the most important for thread lifting and should understand vector considering facial muscle and aging.
Introduction: Although thread lifting is a widely performed
method, the degree of initial lifting and sustainability
varies based on how the threads are inserted into the skin
layers. This study aimed to perform thread lifting on 43
patients to achieve maximum lifting effects using thicker
threads in the deeper layers of the subcutaneous fat layer
and thinner threads in the shallower layers
Materials / method: Immediately after the procedure, we measured
the depth of the inserted threads using ultrasonography and
evaluated the results based on patient satisfaction and the
global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS). At the end of
the procedure, an upright position was employed to check
for dimples or irregularities, and intraoral observation was
also conducted.
Results: Patient satisfaction significantly increased immediately
after the procedure compared to that before the
procedure. High GAIS scores were maintained even after
6 months, indicating high satisfaction with the procedure.
Conclusion: Inserting threads into multiple layers was
deemed more effective than inserting them into a single
layer.
