“…It has been 15 years since thread lifting was approved by FDA for facial rejuvenation. 7 The thread types that are used in lifting are categorized as absorbable and non-absorbable threads. Polydioxanone (PDO) with unidirectional, bidirectional or multidirectional barbs, polycaprolactone (PCL), and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) threads are absorbable.…”

Aging is an inevitable process. The components of facial aging are bone resorption; migration and atrophy or hypertrophy of the fat pads; and loss of connective tissue along with the collapse of elastic fibers. Eyebrows, cheeks, mandible, and neck are the areas that are the most vulnerable to the aging process. 1,2 The progressive loss of soft tissue laxity and volume leads to the ptosis of the eyebrows, prominence of the orbital rim, increased nasolabial fold depth, excess skin sagging over the jawline, increased visibility of the platysmal bands, and formation of the jowl. 2,3 The insertion of threads in thread lifting, result in a foreign body reaction which is characterized by fibrosis, leading the skin to look tighter. 4 Parallel to the need, the most commonly thread-lifted areas of the face are the jawline, midface, eyebrows, and the neck. The usual patient is a woman in her 5th decade. 5,6 This study aims at determining demographic data of patients undergoing thread lifting procedures; the frequency of the thread

“…Although the effectiveness of thread-lifting has not been demonstrated by meta-analyses [3][4][5], these analyses were based on studies with various treatment methods that have not proved to be effective. Analyzing the procedures of practitioners who frequently perform thread-lifting may facilitate the development of standard procedures.…”

“…However, the lifting effect of the procedure remains controversial. In 2018-2019, systematic reviews of the effects of threadlifting were published [3][4][5]. In one of these reviews, seven existing studies conducted using four types of thread were analyzed; however, the types of thread and techniques used differed, and the effects of thread-lifting were subjectively evaluated.…”

None of brow lift techniques are completely satisfactory because of their limited effectiveness, lack of longevity, and potential complications. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive review of the literature on the pros and cons of the most popular techniques in brow and forehead lift. Relevant original articles in the PubMed database (English language) were sought using the search terms “eyebrow lift”, “forehead lift”, ”periorbital rejuvenation”, ”eyebrow ptosis”, ”blepharoplasty and eyebrow change”, ”surgical eyebrow lift”, and ”non-surgical eyebrow lift”, No date limitation was considered. Titles and abstracts were scanned to include the most pertinent articles. Subsequently, full texts of included articles (111 articles) were skimmed and finally 56 references were selected for the review. A narrative synthesis of data was finally undertaken with particular attention to the indications, techniques, and common complications of the eyebrow lift procedures. Ten popular techniques including two nonsurgical methods (Botulinum toxin A and soft tissue fillers) were reviewed in this article. In general, non-surgical methods of forehead/brow lift are temporary, need less experience and correction would be easier should any complication occur. Surgical methods are divided into three categories: trans-blepharoplasty eyebrow lift, direct eyebrow lift, and trans-forehead eyebrow/forehead lift. Currently, the most popular method is the endoscopic forehead lift approach even though its longevity is limited. Direct brow-lift is particularly useful in patients with facial palsy and those who are more likely to be accepting of the scar (male gender, high forehead hair line).
