Multicenter Review of More Than 110,000 Facial Thread Lifting Cases From a Cosmetic Surgery Group.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that has gained popularity for facial rejuvenation. However, large-scale multicenter studies assessing trends, patient characteristics, and procedural variations are limited. This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal changes in facial thread lifting use, patient demographics, procedural composition, and combination treatments across a nationwide cosmetic surgery network during a 5-year period.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 111,948 facial thread lifting procedures performed between 2020 and 2024 across more than 100 Tokyo Central Cosmetic Surgery Group clinics. Statistical analyses included the Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni-adjusted post hoc comparisons for age-related trends.
