Abstract

Aim of this study is to make doctors able to differentiate between sutures and thread lifting and at this moment the author would like to invent new word which is floating threads. Floating threads are all the types of threads that are present in the market like: mono threads, cog threads, siloute threads and spring threads. He categorizes them as floating threads since they are not fixed to stable structure, they are fixing skin to skin which is a poor idea; he wants to present a new innovated idea which is suture lifting which means fixing the SMAS to the periosteum and since the SMAS is connected to the dermis of face by the reticular system we can lift the skin to stable point at the periosteum and this is author’s idea of micro–face lifting, where we have three zones of lifting upper face lifting, mid face lifting, lower face the SMAS and platysma to the periosteum. We have the full demonstration of our methodology with cases before and after, which prove the efficacy of our technique.
