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.
