Thread augmentation, a subsurface technique for correcting facial rhytides, is especially applicable to perioral wrinkles, melolabial furrows, and frown lines about the forehead. It is basically an augmentation technique which places a volume of well-tolerated, slowly absorbable or nonabsorbable sutures underneath the wrinkle. These threads produce augmentation by their volume and the mild local reaction of edema, lymphocytic infiltration, and fibrosis. This process gradually progresses to internal scar formation as the suture material is dissolved by slow hydrolysis in the presence of tissue fluid over a period of months; the nonabsorbable suture remains as a permanent implant. A high level of patient satisfaction with minimal complications has proved the value of this technique in over 100 cases.
线填充是一种用于矫正面部皱纹的皮下技术，特别适用于口周皱纹、鼻唇沟和前额皱纹。它基本上是一种填充技术，将一定量耐受性良好、可缓慢吸收或不可吸收的缝线置于皱纹下方。这些线通过其体积以及水肿、淋巴细胞浸润和纤维化等轻度局部反应来实现填充。随着缝线材料在数月内被组织液中的缓慢水解作用溶解，这个过程会逐渐发展为内部瘢痕形成；不可吸收的缝线则作为永久性植入物留存。在超过100例病例中，患者的高度满意度以及极少的并发症证明了该技术的价值。
