Lifting with pdo threads and hyaluronic acid in nasolabial fold – case report

Vol. 3 – Number 10 – 2022 Case report Page 8-18 Lifting with pdo threads and hyaluronic acid in nasolabial fold – case report Giselle Colucci Perone¹ Alexandre Miyahira² Pedro Carvalho Feitosa³ ABSTRACT The greatest interest in an esthetic treatment for a minimally invasive orofacial harmonization, such as application of hyaluronic acid and PDO thread (polydioxanone), has increased in the recent decades because of lower risk of complications, minimum absence from regular activities and effectivity in simple corrections. Lifting with PDO thread is safe and effective for facial renewal and has low incidence of complications. The layer of correct insertion is subcutaneous cellular tissue (SMAS). A clinical case was reported in this article where PDO threads, (COG), were used to stimulate collagen in treatment of skin-deep sagging in nasolabial fold, associated with hyaluronic acid filling, in the same region. Improved skin texture and reduction in deep furrow were noted. Thus, non-surgical lifting, performed using threads, appears as an option in treatment of initial flaccidity, aiming promoting facial elevation, that is, tissues repositioning and reduction of expression lines, associated with the use hyaluronic acid as a complement, after 30 days.
