Thread lift for neck lift

Aging is universal and inevitable. The skin also ages in the same way as other organs. External factors such as sunlight (visible, ultraviolet and infrared), smoking and air pollution, and age-related structural changes bones, ligaments, fat pads, muscles and skin impair the patient's appearance. The neck area is a perfect example of how the skin in an open area is affected by all of the above factors, which leads to ptosis tissues and deterioration of the appearance of the neck. Thread lifting in recent years has become an excellent alternative to surgical neck lift.

Assessment of the situation: who is indicated for a thread neck lift

We can't resist chronoaging, but we can slow it down a bit and make it more elegant.

Structural correction should be aimed at making aging less pronounced, and the tissues of the face and neck more toned.

Before proceeding with the correction of the neck area, it is necessary to evaluate

the severity of age-related changes, for this a special 5-point scale.

Selection of threads and techniques for their setting for different age-related changes in the neck

When simple neck rejuvenation is required in terms of

improvement of skin texture, it is recommended monofilament or PDO threads with screw threads because these threads improve microcirculation and collagenogenesis, and thus thus correcting the texture of the skin.

Thread setting methods:

A, B - cross technique;
C, D- hammock;
E -linear technique.

When volume reduction is required due to a double chin,

monofilament PDO threads are introduced using the cross-hatching method.

The hammock technique is best used for severe sagging skin to ensure good fixation in the mastoid region.

Linear technique is suitable in cases where a simple increase in volume with threads is required, for example, for correction in the area of "Vene ring

ry".

Algorithm of neck threadlift procedure

One hour before the procedure, local anesthesia is performed using

a mixture of prilocaine and lidocaine.

To insert the toothed threads, local infiltration was performed using

2% lidocaine with adrenaline 1:200 000.
