Objectives: To introduce and explain the “Aesthetic Thread Mimetic” (ATM) thread lifting procedure, a face lifting technique that combines cog and monofilament absorbable threads to mimic the vectors of pull and lift of the traditional facelift surgery.
Introduction: Surgical options in face lifting, although still the gold standard, have become less and less due to non-surgical alternatives, one of which is face thread lifting. With the advances of designs of threads and insertion techniques, thread lifting has become a main staple in medical aesthetics. The ATM thread lifting procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional face lifting surgery. It utilizes a combination of cog and monofilament absorbable threads to achieve a natural-looking lift.
Materials / method: Instead of making three purse string sutures placed in the “Extended MACS lift” surgery to lift the face, the ATM procedure uses three pairs of cog threads to mimic the pull of the purse string sutures and create a similar effect. However, the plane of insertion is placed at the superficial subcutaneous level, instead of placing it in the lever of the SMAS. Monofilament threads are then used to maintain the lift created by the cog threads.
Results: The ATM thread lifting procedure creates an effect that mimics the lift of MACS lift surgery, providing a natural-looking lift with minimal downtime and recovery. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional face lifting surgery.
Conclusion: The ATM thread lifting procedure is a promising technique in aesthetic medicine and surgery. It combines the use of cog and monofilament absorbable threads that mimics the lift of face lift surgery, to achieve a natural-looking lift with minimal downtime and recovery.
