An APTOS thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment used to reposition selected facial tissue. The key question is whether threads can provide enough change for the area you want to treat.
An APTOS threads lift uses medical threads designed for soft-tissue procedures.
APTOS makes absorbable and non-absorbable threads systems. Absorbable means the body slowly breaks the threads down. Some of these products use P(LA/CL). Some non-absorbable products use polypropylene. The product selected affects how the treatment is planned.
APTOS Threads can hold facial tissue and move it in a planned direction.
The treatment path is planned for the area being treated. The depth and direction depend on the threads system and method selected.
Some APTOS Threads have small barbs along their surface. These barbs catch the tissue beneath the skin and help hold it in the planned position.
The tissue starts its normal healing process after the threads are placed. Absorbable threads slowly break down. Non-absorbable threads are designed to stay in the tissue.
A face threads lift can be planned for different parts of the face.
A threads lift for jawline definition may be used when tissue position has softened the lower-face shape. The amount of visible change depends on where the tissue sits before treatment.
Threads lifting can be used for selected tissue in the cheek area. It moves existing tissue. It does not replace lost facial volume.
Some thread-lifting methods can be used around the brow. The treatment path needs to match the anatomy of this area.
An APTOS threads lift may suit adults with mild to moderate facial sagging. Marked loose skin may need another procedure if more correction is required.
What Happens During an APTOS Thread Treatment?
An APTOS Threads treatment starts with an assessment of facial shape and tissue position. The planned paths are marked on the face. The threads are then inserted through small entry points.
The exact APTOS product depends on the individual plan. The clinic should also explain how the area will be numbed and how the threads will be placed.
An APTOS threads lift can cause short-term reactions and other complications. Possible problems include infection and facial asymmetry. A threads may become visible or be felt beneath the skin. Thread movement and skin dimpling can also occur.
The risk can vary with the thread system, treatment area, and technique used.
Recovery after a facial threads lift varies with the extent of treatment. The area may feel tender while it settles. Bruising or swelling can also occur.
Follow the instructions given for facial movement and normal daily activities while healing.
