Abstract
With the increased rates of rhytidectomy (face lift) surgeries
performed, many patients present with the complaint
of facial asymmetry due to relapse. The use of APTOS thread
lifting for such patients could provide a simple, safe, and
cost-effective alternative to redo surgery. In this work we
describe our experience with the procedure. All patients
exhibited significant satisfaction for the follow-up period of
3 months. Minimal adverse events were encountered and were
majorly self-limited. Relapsed rhytidectomy patients with
minor degrees of facial asymmetry are excellent candidates
for facial thread suspension.
