Undefined, saggy oval: reshaped with tensor threads

Sagging skin on the oval of the face, often combined with the appearance of jowls, is usually corrected with hyaluronic acid injections. But this product, though it is resorbable, can weigh down the lower face and make it look square-shaped, as opposed to a youthful triangular shape.
Today, we prefer to use a new technique that involves inserting threads and is carried out in a medical surgery. Made from polydioxanone – a very safe, biodegradable material that is compatible with human tissue and has been used for decades for surgical sutures – these threads provide spectacular and natural-looking results over time.
What does it involve?
By positioning several threads of various lengths, which are all flexible and finer than a hair, the doctor creates a veritable hammock that supports the sagging dermal tissue, point by point. After applying an anaesthetic cream, they create a first mesh on either side of the face, with parallel and vertical threads inserted around a centimetre apart, from underneath the jaw up to the edge of the lips. Then, two more networks of threads are inserted – one horizontally and the other at an angle – on top of it. Imprisoned in the dermis, these threads provide instant support for the tissues. Another advantage: each thread only requires one entry point, unlike other techniques which require an entry point and an exit point. Deposited in the tissues using a needle, into which the threads are inserted, the threads remain in place once the needle has been removed, without the need for any knots or stitches. Though they gradually break down and are absorbed after six to eight months, they cause fibrosis to set in, which keeps the tissues in their new position.
Results
From the end of the session, the oval looks more defined, reshaped and the chin is subtly lifted, the jowls are erased and the face looks firmer and fresher. But that is not all. As well as supporting the oval, they cause the dermis to gradually be regenerated by stimulating collagen synthesis, as well as improving the skin’s radiance by activating the blood microcirculation and oxygenation.
Frequency
The results are enhanced over around six months and last two years, possibly more.
Side effects
They are rare and mild – just a bit of bruising – and won’t really affect your lifestyle. However, just after having the procedure, you should avoid any brusque movements (sport, excessive expressions, massages).
Our opinion
Quick – under an hour – pain-free and safe, this treatment perfectly restores the oval while rejuvenating the whole face. No scars, no real side effects, no downtime. It can postpone the need for any surgical procedures, such as a face lift.
