The aging face has sagging tissues that have previously been treated with surgical facelift, brow lift, and neck lift. The use of APTOS threads, polypropylene or metallic with unidirectional cogs or sharp edges, allows the gathering of the soft tissues, creating lift and volume contouring. The technique is simple, with insertion of the threads in the desired positions with a long injection needle as a guide. The results of the lifting are excellent and long-lasting.
