For hundreds of years various types of sutures and threads have been placed in the human body by surgeons. The technique of thread augmentation involves the use of colorless absorbable (Vicryl) and non-absorbable (Neurolon) suture material on a long, straight Keith needle tunneled subdermally beneath prominent facial wrinkles in an effort to make the deep grooves less severe and to augment atrophic areas about the lips and oral commissures. This may be done as an isolated procedure or as an ancillary procedure at the time of a blepharoplasty or cervicofacial rhytidectomy.
数百年来，外科医生一直在人体中使用各种类型的缝线和线。线增强技术是将无色可吸收（聚乙醇酸缝线）和不可吸收（尼龙线）缝合材料置于一根长的直型凯斯针上，经皮下穿过面部明显皱纹下方，以使深沟变浅，并填充嘴唇和口角周围的萎缩区域。这可以作为一种单独的手术进行，也可以在眼睑成形术或面颈部除皱术时作为辅助手术进行。
