Face lifting com fios absorvíveis

Abstract

Brazil is one of the many countries that performs a substantial number of aesthetic operations across the globe, from the use of cosmetic items and tanning beds to highly complex surgical procedures. There are several procedures for correcting pigmentation, removal of acne, elimination of wrinkles and lines of expression, and even stimulating the production of collagen and other substances that maintain the face appearing young since the face is the most exposed and visible part of the body. Absorbable threads, which are widely used in operations and have recently been investigated as instruments in cosmetic healthcare, are one of the treatments for facial rejuvenation. This study's goal was to research the facial lifting technique established utilizing absorbable threads and evaluate the advantages it provides to patients. To do this, publications published in open-access journals were examined, and collated for a literature review. With the introduction of sutures beneath the skin of the face and neck, flaccid tissues can be supported without the need for large incisions through a procedure known as facial lifting. Catgut, Polyglycolic Acid (Dexon), Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl), Polidioxanone (PDO), Polycaprolactone (Monocryl), and Polyglyconate (Maxon) are a few examples of mono- or multifilament threads that are used for this. They secure internal structures and promote collagen formation because of their distinctive structures, which restructures the skin. The recovery period for these procedures is relatively short; however, regardless of the professional's background performing the lifting, it is essential to ensure their qualification and experience to prevent complications.
