Abstract
Thread lifting is now widely used to improve the facial sagging and the relocation of facial fat. Recently, one of the most noticeable minimally invasive aesthetic procedures is the use of dissolving threads. As the thread manufacturing techniques develop, various thicknesses and several types of threads such as a barbed or cog thread are available for clinical uses in addition to the initial thin 6-0 monotype thread.
