Vol. 2 – Number 7 – 2021 Case report Page 8-13 Structuring the face through polydioxanone wires – case report Renata Bandeira Lages¹ Joseilson Barbosa Nunes² Yves Viana Ramalho Oliveira³ ABSTRACT Many facial rejuvenation techniques have been discovered for people looking for a younger look. In this context, the facelift using support threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) presented itself as a technique that, in addition to producing excellent postoperative results, is a minimally invasive procedure. It can neutralize the effects of aging by providing support and stimulation to the tissues of the areas around the patient’s problem, as there is the production of collagen and elastin. The present study aims to present a clinical case of a 68-year-old white female patient who had as main complaint the sagging and ptosis of the skin, the appearance of tiredness and falling of the corners of the lip, in which the PDO spiculated threads were inserted, reporting the changes caused on the face. The result was satisfactory, with improvement of the skin’s flaccidity, and the elevation of the labiolomental groove and the accumulation of fat in the mandibular body, with minimal side effects, being an effective and safe technique.
