Aesthetic physicians and surgeons should consider differences in anthropometric and anatomical characteristics between Asians and Caucasians in performing facial rejuvenation procedures using absorbable threadlifts in Koreans.
This paper was prepared to propose empirical treatment protocols for Korean aesthetic physicians and surgeons.
A panel of 5 Korean experts on the aesthetic uses of an absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) monofilament threadlift (Mint Lift; HansBiomed Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea), thus termed as "the Mint Consensus Group," was convened to recommend practical guidelines for empirical treatment with the Mint Lift.
To summarize, our recommendations are as follows: First, the entry and exit points should be determined considering the anatomical characteristics of the face (level of evidence III). Second, treatment procedures may vary depending on indications (level of evidence III).
Here, the authors propose empirical treatment protocols for facial rejuvenation using a novel absorbable PDO monofilament threadlift in Koreans. But more evidence-based efforts should be made to update the current treatment protocols.
美容医生和外科医生在为韩国人进行使用可吸收线雕的面部年轻化手术时，应考虑亚洲人和高加索人在人体测量学和解剖学特征上的差异。
撰写本文旨在为韩国美容医生和外科医生提出经验性治疗方案。
召集了由5名韩国可吸收聚对二氧环己酮（PDO）单丝线雕（Mint Lift；韩国首尔HansBiomed有限公司）美容应用专家组成的小组，即“Mint共识小组”，以推荐Mint Lift经验性治疗的实用指南。
简而言之，我们的建议如下：第一，应根据面部的解剖学特征确定进针点和出针点（证据级别III）。第二，治疗程序可能因适应症而异（证据级别III）。
在此，作者提出了在韩国人中使用新型可吸收PDO单丝线雕进行面部年轻化的经验性治疗方案。但应做出更多基于证据的努力来更新当前的治疗方案。
