A new fever has gripped the world, with thousands of women complaining about so-called “temporomandibular joint syndrome”, most of them doing so in order to be prescribed Botox injections in the jaw area. Obviously, relaxing tense jaw muscles reduces stress on the teeth and prevents them from rubbing out, and gives the face a clearer outline. But to achieve a perfect chin line, Botox is just the beginning. Among the most effective techniques, doctors also call threading, liposuction and professional manual massage. Let’s take an in-depth look at How Threading Can Improve Jawlines.
Lifting with threads
For women aged 30 years and older, with moderately pronounced age-related changes, an effective solution to the problem of “second chin” can be a lifting with threads. At this age, there is already a definite decrease in skin turgor, so it is important to delicately tighten the tissue. This will not only create a perfect oval, but also prolong youthfulness, preventing further stretching and deterioration. The procedure itself is performed without a single incision, under local anesthesia. Inflammations and bruises are excluded by this technique.
The doctor uses four long threads to create a so-called “hammock” in the tissue, which is secured with absorbable cones that act as “anchors”. Such a design well fixes the shape of the chin and holds it for three to five years without any correction. In the future, if necessary, you can “correct” the situation with the same threads. In this case we are talking about polypropylene non-absorbable material. If the patient is planning to have a plastic surgery, it is possible to put absorbable sutures that will disappear in about two years.
A combination of elevator and liposuction
For those whose chin problems are fairly obvious and associated not only with age changes, but also with a buildup of excess fat, we can recommend a combination of liposuction and thread elevator. This kind of liposuction (removal of excess fat) does not require general anesthesia. As a rule, the patient can go home the same day. The recovery period is quite easy: a special supporting bandage is applied for two or three days. However, the “sudden weight loss” leads to sagging of the skin and requires a mandatory lift. In this case, use lifting surgical resorbable threads that fix the soft facial tissues in the new position.
