Threadlift- An Expeditious Facial Rejuvenation
2021
With increasing age, facial skin tends to develop loosening of soft tissues and volume loss in the form of wrinkling. This can be corrected using a minimally invasive procedure “Threadlift” which produces precise lifting of the drooping tissues using threads, in place of a more invasive surgical procedure “Facelift”.
Objective: A Comparative evaluation of COG Polydioxanone and MONO Polydioxanone threads in the treatment of sagging facial skin.
Method: 6 cases were reported in the Out-Patient Department (OPD) of Mahatma Gandhi Dental College and Hospital, Jaipur with mild to moderate sagginess of facial skin. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups: COG Polydioxanone and Mono Polydioxanone. The procedure was performed in a single sitting, OPD basis, and Evaluation of each case was done post-operatively.
Result: COG Polydioxanone threads proved to be more satisfactory in lifting the loose facial skin as compared to MONO Polydioxanone threads. Complications were rare and were minor and self-limiting.
Conclusion: COG Polydioxanone threads are better in achieving soft tissue lift in patients with mild to moderate sagginess, than MONO Polydioxanone threads.
