Evaluating the Compartment-Specific Effects in Superficial Facial Fat Compartments After Thread-Lifts by the Tensiometer and FACE-Q.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The thread-lifts have been popularized because they offered minimally invasive procedures of facial rejuvenation, but not evaluated by the objective assessment system.

Objectives

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the compartment-specific effects after thread-lifts by the tensiometer and FACE-Q.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study was performed on 369 consecutive patients undergoing the thread-lifts with V-Loc devices (n = 173) and the limited scar face lifts (n = 196), with the mean follow-up period of 32.2 ± 5.2 months, between January 2014 and December 2015. Two hundred-seventy patients had intraoperative tension measurements performed. In an online survey, the blinded study coordinator registered all data in 12 FACE-Q scales.
