[Facial threads for face lift].

Facial threads have been in use for ten years as an alternative to early face lifting, in case of premature drooping of the face. These threads, combined with other techniques (lipostructure, lipoaspiration), are used for rejuvenation of aging face. Their mean time of action is 2 to 4 years. Main complications are lack of efficacy and exposure of threads through the skin or mucosa and a short duration of action.
