Thread lifting technique tips to minimize complication
Objectives: 1. PDO absortion time
2. PDO degradation pattern
3. Why not 1-0?
4. Why packing is so important?
5. Ultrasound use of thread
6. Parotid gland perforation cases
7. Thread & HA filler - rat experiment
Introduction: There are so many techniques for face lifting but minimal invasive techniques such as thread lifting is enormously performed recently. Various thread lifting techniques are introduced but doctors also should know about thread itself and also should understand basic properties of threads.
Materials / method: Performed rat experiement inserted thread and HA filler together. Also will introduce multiple strategies for considering before or after thread lifting
Results: 1. PDO absortion time
2. PDO degradation pattern
3. Why not 1-0? should always consider the thickness of thread.
4. Why packing is so important? - PDO can be degradated if packing is not properly performed.
5. Ultrasound use of thread
6. Parotid gland perforation cases
7. Thread & HA filler - rat experiment
Conclusion: Doctors should understand minimal information about PDO threads. To minimize possible complications of thread lifting.
