Abstract:

The elimination of unsightly facial contours has long been the desire of both women and men. Since the early 1990�??s, surgeons have been evaluating new surgical techniques for lifting the cheeks and jowls. The Sling technique, which was published in the Journal of Plastic Surgery, securely lifted the cheek/jowls of the face and neck with a single suture. At the same time, in Russia, the Aptos (antiptosis) technique was designed for facial rejuvenation using modified sutures. The original Aptos face lift technique did not require any incisions, but was not as secure as the Mid-Face Sling described in the Journal of Plastic Surgery by Dr. Summers in the U.S. In order to achieve increased stability, he placed a small 1.5 inch incision in the hair-bearing scalp to secure the Aptos face lift threads. Additionally, Dr. Summers used the so called multi-planar approach, placing the sutures in the soft tissue layers around the skin, muscle and fat (adipose). As a result, variable elevation of each tissue layer was achieved, adapting the results to the demands of each individual patient. Today, advances in the type of lifting threads and the techniques used can do more for solving age expressions than twenty years ago. Facial contouring is an achievable objective without surgery utilizing Non-Surgical Skin Tightening (NSST) and/or the Thread lift face lift procedure, which is a completely non-invasive method of rebuilding collagen in the skin, resulting in overall tightening and lifting effect. Collagen accounts for around 30% of the protein content of the human body, and it is often considered to be the �??glue that holds the body together�?�. It is found in fibrous tissues such as skin, ligaments and tendons, as well as in the bones, blood vessels, the cornea of the eye, and in the gut. As we get older, the production of collagen begins to slow down and cell structures start losing their strength. As a result, skin starts to become fragile, less elastic and wrinkles set in. In addition, hair starts losing its color, joints lose their flexibility, and bone quality begins to deteriorate. Being an unquestionable sign of ageing, flaccid skin appears as a result of low turnover of collagen. Millions of people worldwide seek out ways to stimulate the production of collagen when wrinkles start to show. Injectable skin fillers, such as Hialuronic Acid and Botulinum Toxin A, have become increasingly popular for getting rid of the lines and wrinkles associated with aging, and the threads, known as Caprolactone/PDOs and COGs are used for more severe cases of facial sagging. Using the three techniques in different steps, we can proudly present a gradual elimination of signs of ageing.
