“…However, dimple was the least postoperative complication in our study, showing the inconsistency of the results in two studies. 23 However, considering the rate of complications, it can be stated that no serious complications were observed in either of these studies. 24 Savoia (2014) reported mild complications for the operation, namely ecchymosis, mild erythema, small hemorrhage, mild transitory esthesia, and mild postoperation tumefaction.…”

Background To investigate the efficacy and outcomes associated with eyebrow, midface, mandibular, and neck lifting using the innovative techniques. Materials and Methods In this prospective review chart study, a total of 151 patients, were included in the study from January 2016 to May 2017. All participants underwent thread lifting using our innovative thread‐lift technique for head and neck. The patients were followed up first week, first, third, and sixth month after lifting surgery. Outcomes were assessed by two surgeon and patients based on the GAIS score. All data were analyzed by SPSS‐17 software with chi‐square test. Results A total of 151 patients (mean age: 52.49 ± 10.67, range: 27‐78 years), 16 (10.6%) men and 135 (89.4%) women, were included in the study. The most common sites for the face‐lifting surgery were the mandible (49.7%), midface (37.1%), neck (7.9%), and eyebrow (5.3%), respectively. The level of satisfaction increased from 77.5% in the first week after surgery to 89.4% in the sixth month after surgery for patients, remained unchanged, 96% for the surgeon, and increased from 74.8% to 94.7% for the independent surgeon. The highest rate of potential complications after the lifting surgery was related to ecchymosis (23.2%), followed by complications of tumefaction (6.6%), pain (6.6%), and pain (5.2%). Conclusion The results showed that the level satisfaction of patients and surgeons increased over time. It seems that facial rejuvenation thread lifting with this innovative technique is effectiveness, safe, and cosmetically more acceptance with minor complications than other face‐lifting techniques.

“…Kim et al used a unidirectional barbed thread and inserted it from the lower face to the temple area where the FBrSTA is located. Sarigul Guduk et al used a poly‐L‐lactic acid thread with cones, and the entry point was not made at the hairline but in the upward direction toward the temple area. Suh et al used bilateral cogged PDO threads, which were inserted near the skin of the nasolabial fold, and an additional entry point was made at the hairline.…”

Background Although there are various techniques of thread lifting, most of these techniques require anchoring of the threads at the temple area. However, the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery (FBrSTA) is located in the temple area and a detour pathway should be created for thread insertion to avoid vascular complications. Objectives We aimed to determine the relationship between the FBrSTA and the hairline using real‐time Doppler ultrasound. Methods Doppler ultrasound was used to detect the FBrSTA pathway, and the relationship between the hairline and the FBrSTA was analyzed. After confirming the arterial pathway, thread lifting was performed in patients, and complications related to the entry point and insertion of the threads were evaluated. Patient satisfaction was evaluated immediately after the procedure and 3 months later. Results This study included 50 patients (45 women and 5 men; age: 51 [range 26‐71] years) who underwent thread lifting in a single institution from January to May 2019 after Doppler ultrasound‐guided detection of the FBrSTA. No vascular complications were noted in all patients. Conclusions Our findings suggest that Doppler ultrasound can be used to detect the FBrSTA at the temple area to avoid vascular complications during thread lifting.

“…However, facelift surgeons often operate on patients who previously had poorly performed facelifts with undesirable results 5 – 14 or on those who underwent multiple injectable therapies after the initial facelift, producing unnatural results, or on those who had noninvasive treatments with devices or threads in an effort to correct the recurrent laxity. 15 – 17 All of the abovementioned procedures render the revision facelift more difficult.…”

Background: Revision facelift is a very challenging operation. The goal of our study was to examine the most common problems that the facelift surgeon has to face in a revision case and to suggest ways of solving them. Methods: A review of all patients from 2012 to 2017 in whom rhytidectomy was performed by the senior author was conducted. Results: During the 5-year study period, the author performed 552 face lifts. After the review to confirm revision procedures, a total of 72 revision facelifts were found. On reviewing the most common problems encountered in our facelifts, we found that in addition to the stigmata of the primary facelift, which are thoroughly analyzed in our article, a new type of stigmata has been added nowadays to the revision facelift—that of the various noninvasive interventions that patients undergo after their first facelift, in their effort to postpone or avoid a second operation. In all the abovementioned cases, the surgeon has to modify his basic surgical plan accordingly, to be able to improve or solve all of those problems during the revision surgery. Conclusions: The modern facelift surgeon often has to face much more than the stigmata of the primary facelift or the natural aging process. Thus, he/she should be appropriately trained to solve any problem we might encounter in a revision case.
