Safe thread lifting: how to prevent complications of thread techniques

Injection procedures are widely used in modern aesthetic medicine. Today, injections for one purpose or another can be performed on patients of completely different sex and age. However, such invasive procedures are always associated with certain risks, and they can cause serious complications. How safe is the thread lifting procedure that is popular today, and how can you prevent the occurrence of possible complications of thread techniques – read on estet-portal.com in an interview with Olga Zhukova, a maxillofacial surgeon, dermatovenereologist, cosmetologist, candidate of medical sciences and Aptos trainer.

What place does thread lifting with Aptos threads take in your practice?

For me, thread lifting with Aptos threads – This is the main procedure in my practice. Probably about 80% of my procedures are thread lifting.

Today, I consider thread techniques as the basis of working with a patient, that is, it is not just a lifting, as such.

This is, first of all, the creation of a framework and the strengthening of the ligamentous apparatus, both of the face and neck. Only after thread lifting I can perform other aesthetic procedures for the patient. And I find myself thinking that, in fact, now I can work with patients with the help of almost nothing but Aptos threads, which are represented in Ukraine by Top cosmetics. That is, all other procedures specifically in my practice go to help the main procedures that are associated with thread technologies.

How safe are thread techniques?

From an anatomical point of view, thread technologies are the safest methods in aesthetic medicine today. Even fillers can cause more damage and more complications, which are much more serious than any complications associated with thread technologies. Neither thrombosis nor ischemia can be obtained with threads. I would also like to note that correcting the complications associated with filler injections is much more difficult than the negative consequences of incorrectly injected threads. Basically, all the complications that arise after thread lifting are associated only with the violation of asepsis and antisepsis, and most of them. But these complications do not arise in any way due to anatomical features or violation of the integrity of some important anatomical structures.

Which anatomical areas on the face should be treated more carefully?

I think that one should always work carefully on the face, and absolutely in all its areas.

Of course, there are areas where nerve outlets or large blood vessels are more closely located, and work in these areas is somewhat more difficult.

But, as for Aptos threads, presented in Ukraine by Top cosmetics, and those modern technologies and tools with which we implant them, in my opinion, the danger associated with these procedures is about the same in any area where we work, and it is commensurate with the depth of knowledge of each doctor.
