One of the most common nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation is lifting using threads. Application of polydioxanone (PDO) threads is generally secure and effective procedure, but complications on the involved regions can occur.
In this study, we shared our experiences of efficacy and safety of PDO thread lifting for facial rejuvenation and presented our technique to prevent the migration of threads.
Thirty-eight patients who underwent PDO cog treatment for facial rejuvenation were evaluated. Via 23 G/90 mm sharp needle, bidirectional barbed PDO cog thread was inserted into subcutaneous tissue. The outcomes of procedure were assessed by Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and patient satisfaction.
Thirty-eight patients were included in this study. Mean age of participants was 39.6 ± 7.5 years. The GAIS score showed satisfactory results (very much improved: 78.9%; much improved: 18.4%; improved: 2.6%). According to patient satisfaction, all patients were satisfied with the clinical outcomes of procedure (excellent: 76.3%; very good: 21.0%; good: 2.6%). No patient reported 'fair' or 'poor' result.
Our results revealed barbed PDO cog thread is highly effective in facial rejuvenation. Also, tying the PDO threads in same entry point to each other seems to be an effective technique to prevent thread migration.
面部年轻化最常见的非手术选择之一是线雕提升。聚对二氧环己酮（PDO）线的应用通常是安全有效的手术，但相关区域可能会出现并发症。
在本研究中，我们分享了PDO线雕提升面部年轻化的疗效和安全性经验，并介绍了我们防止线移位的技术。
对38例接受PDO锯齿线面部年轻化治疗的患者进行评估。通过23G/90mm锐针，将双向倒刺PDO锯齿线插入皮下组织。通过全球美容改善量表（GAIS）和患者满意度评估手术效果。
本研究纳入38例患者。参与者的平均年龄为39.6±7.5岁。GAIS评分显示出满意的结果（改善非常明显：78.9%；改善明显：18.4%；有所改善：2.6%）。根据患者满意度，所有患者对手术的临床结果都很满意（优秀：76.3%；非常好：21.0%；好：2.6%）。没有患者报告“一般”或“差”的结果。
我们的结果表明，倒刺PDO锯齿线在面部年轻化方面非常有效。此外，将PDO线在同一进针点相互系紧似乎是防止线移位的有效技术。
