Objectives: We already have enough experience in our clinics with the use of surgical sutures, applied in order to reposition and lift the middle and lower area of the face, with very satisfactory results, but with the disadvantage that it was a pseudo-surgical technique difficult to perform, due to the fact that the fixation area had to be periosteal. With this new technique, we may obtain very similar results in terms of effectiveness, as positive as those obtained with tensioning with Serdev threads, but in a much easier, less problematic and less traumatic way, since periosteal anchoring is not needed
Introduction: We already have enough experience in our clinics with the use of surgical sutures, applied in order to reposition and lift the middle and lower area of the face, with very satisfactory results, but with the disadvantage that it was a pseudo-surgical technique difficult to perform, due to the fact that the fixation area had to be periosteal.
Materials / method: On the basis of such backgroud, we have developed the BQ technique, which by definition is based on the use of bidirectional threads, with spicules, cones and other means of fixation, with double needle, being introduced in at least 2 entry points, and directing them to a single exit point, or 2 very close points, located in a more elevated area.
The part of the thread that joins the 2 entry points will tighten the area.
The ends of the thread will knot if the exit point is common.
Results: This way, we obtained very similar results in terms of effectiveness, as positive as those obtained with tensioning with our surgical threads, but in a much easier, less problematic and less traumatic way (since periosteal anchoring is not needed).
In order to prove the effectiveness of the technique, we performed it on a portion of pork skin, it was kept refrigerated hanging only by the points of the elevation, with satisfactory results after more than 2 weeks after its application.
Conclusion: This technique is a very interesting resource we can use in order to complement our already wide rang
