Abstract
The clinical application of polydioxanone (PDO) threads, traditionally utilized for
tissue lifting, is now being explored for its volumizing effects in midface rejuvenation.
The novel approach involves employing PDO volumizing threads to achieve physical augmentation
akin to a “solid filler.” The study introduces a more convenient insertion method
for these threads, prioritizing ease and efficacy. Clinical cases demonstrate the
efficacy of volumizing threads in addressing midface concerns, such as nasolabial
folds and midcheek grooves. Additionally, the integration of volumizing threads to
provide support in sagging areas is examined for achieving natural-looking enhancements.
While highlighting positive outcomes, potential side effects like thread protrusion
are addressed, along with strategies for their mitigation. Volumizing threads are
presented as a suitable procedure for patients wary of traditional fillers or seeking
subtle enhancements, with the recommendation of combining them with cog threads for
those desiring more pronounced changes in facial contour. In summary, volumizing thread
offers a minimally invasive alternative with fewer side effects for midface rejuvenation.
