Background: Thread-lifting rejuvenation procedures have evolved again, with the development of absorbable threads. Although they have gained popularity among plastic surgeons and dermatologists, very few articles have been written in literature about absorbable threads. This study aims to evaluate two years’ outcome of thread lifting using absorbable barbed threads for facial rejuvenation. Methods: Prospective comparative stud both objectively and subjectively and follow-up assessment for 24 months. Results: Thread lifting for face rejuvenation has significant long-lasting effects that include skin lifting from 3–10 mm and high degree of patients’ satisfaction with less incidence rate of complications, about 4.8%. Augmented results are obtained when thread lifting is combined with other lifting and rejuvenation modalities. Conclusion: Significant facial rejuvenation is achieved by thread lifting and highly augmented results are observed when they are combined with Botox, fillers, and/or platelet rich plasma (PRP) rejuvenations.

Background: Non-surgical nasal job has been practiced and published with doubtful concerns about efficiency and safety among physicians and aesthetic surgeons. Aim: of the work to share our experiences in non-surgical rhinoplasty using filler, Botox, and thread with presentation of aesthetic and complication outcome. Patient and methods: Retrospective analysis of the aesthetic and complication outcomes and techniques for non-surgical remodeling rhinoplasty using fillers, Botox, and PDO absorbable threads in 332 cases. Results: Non-surgical nasal remodeling provides temporary correction of small nasal deformities with achieved satisfactory aesthetic outcome and very low incidence of complications. Conclusion: Non-surgical nasal remodeling with injection precautions could work efficiently and safely in outpatient clinic with good temporary results up to 6 months.

Background: Many recent studies have evaluated the clinical safety and efficacy of therapeutic lasers in laser lipolysis, but without detailed description of the safe and effective parameters. Purpose: To propose a method for adjusting safe and effective parameters for laser lipolysis. Methods: Detailed calculations of the safe and effective laser parameters for fat melting are proposed in the study. Amount of energy delivered in joules was calculated based on data from Havenith research. External skin and internal tissues temperatures during the procedure were kept in a recommended range and monitored for safety and efficacy. Prospective statistical study was designed on a series of 300 patients who underwent laser-assisted lipolysis and /or liposuction using 2 different machine manufacturers, delivering 1,064/1,320 nm. Results: All areas submitted to laser-assisted liposuction in this series have resulted in no clinical thermal burns injury to the skin. There was improvement in the bulk of fats, skin tightening, skin textures, and cellulites. Conclusion: This study is proposing a simple method for calculations of safe and effective laser lipolysis. Skin burn injury could be highly prevented by following up the proposed detailed basic parameters for laser lipolysis treatment.

Background: In the open rhinoplasty technique, the soft tissue and ligaments are vulnerable to injury. Reconstruction of the ligaments is not performed routinely. The authors aimed to assess the effect of preservation of the nasal ligaments (ie, scroll, septocolumellar, and Pitanguy ligaments) in open-approach rhinoplasty. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 32 patients underwent open rhinoplasty with ligament preservation after receiving precise training on five cadavers. Results: All patients had improved aesthetic and functional outcome in the early postoperative period with long-lasting preservation of tip projection and results. No patient needed secondary revision surgery for tip dropping or malrotation. The objective findings and subjective assessments were satisfying for the patients and surgeons. Conclusions: Refinements of nasal surgery have no limits. This study suggests that nasal ligament reconstruction, including of the scroll, septocolumellar, and Pitanguy ligaments, could maintain nasal tip projection and rotation for a long time. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.
