Abstract
Thread methods have been widely known for over 20 years. The uniqueness of thread methods lies in the fact that they are suitable for people with different needs in correction of any area of the face and body and are also performed without surgical intervention. The main goal of the threads lies in the use of armoring, reposition, and fixation of the soft tissues. To date, there is a wide selection of threads, different in composition, design, and method of implantation.
