Facial Plastic Surgery - Aptos Thread

Plastic surgery that requires tissue manipulation makes use of polypropylene threads, a material that is non-toxic and highly resistant and does not cause rejection or reaction. These threads are introduced into the skin by guides with fishbone-like openings that grab deep tissues and press them to stretch the treated area.

Benefits
Russian threads are widely used on the face to improve wrinkles around the nose and chin, lift eyebrows or remove hanging tissue around the cheek. A surgeon must evaluate the patient because, in cases of severe flaccidity, it is advisable to perform other surgical procedures.

Procedure
Russian or Aptos threads are introduced under the skin to give strength and remove wrinkles. Pre-surgery evaluation is required. The results are seen immediately.

Hospitalization
Aptos or Russian threads do not require the patient to stay in the hospital. The patient must take anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medication after surgery. Nevertheless, inflammation is minimal so you will be able to return to your daily routine soon.

Time
Aptos or Russian threads treatment takes around an hour.
