In the procedure, PDO wires were used to stimulate neocollagenogenisis as well as the support of facial tissues with ptosis. The use of polydioxanone (PDO) absorbable suture threads is among the possible alternatives to mitigate the effects observed on the face by the course of time and by environmental factors, which by the natural aging process undergoes several undesirable changes from the aesthetic point of view. Taking into account that the techniques performed at the outpatient level, with relative ease, rapid recovery, low discomfort to the patient and with very satisfactory aesthetic results.
