Resumen

Objectives: Patients with facial paresis suffer by limited tissue function and noticeable facial asymmetry. We use combination of threads as a treatment. The outcomes demonstrate enhanced facial symmetry, improved support for limited tissue function, and a subjectively elevated quality of life for patients. Introduction: Facial paresis is often caused by oncological diseases that require surgical intervention. However, this can result in damage to the facial nerve, leading to limited tissue function and visible signs of facial asymmetry. Materials / method: We have focused on using thread lifting as a minimally invasive intervention for patients with facial paresis. This treatment is performed under local anesthesia, which is beneficial for patients who have undergone multiple surgeries under general anesthesia in the past. Thread lifting is considered a safe and effective method, utilizing various types of threads, absorbable and non-absorbable, specifically for these cases. Results: Barbed threads are used to lift tissue in ptosis and restore lost volume in the cheekbone area. We can also rebuild the disappeared nasolabial fold, helping to achieve facial symmetry. Conclusion: The use of absorbable and non-absorbable threads in the treatment of facial paresis can yield valuable results. This minimally invasive method offers a less traumatic procedure under local anesthesia, with a relatively fast recovery time. The results show improved facial symmetry, support for limited tissue function, and a subjectively higher quality of life for patients.
