AB  - SUMMARY  POINTSWhat’s  Important?Suspension  sutures  combat  the  aging  process  by  anchoring  the  soft  tissue  to  the  periosteum.In  contrast  to  traditional  cosmetic  surgery,  thread  lifts  carry  the  advantages  of  decreased  downtime  and  cost,  lack  of  a  need  for  general  anesthesia,  and  less  procedural  invasiveness.Conversely,  thread  lifting  results  are  thought  to  have  less  dramatic  results  that  are  temporary.What’s  New?Thread  lifting  has  gained  in  popularity  with  the  advent  of  other  minimally  invasive  techniques.The  development  of  absorbable  barbed  sutures  has  accelerated  the  popularity  of  this  technique,  as  opposed  to  non-absorbable  sutures,  which  have  had  a  higher  complication  rate  in  the  past.What’s  Coming?Absorbable  suture  materials,  such  as  polydioxanone  and  poly-L-lactic  acid,  are  favored  due  to  their  properties  of  collagen  stimulation,  although  the  long-term  effects  from  the  placement  of  threads  composed  of  these  materials  are  unknown.Threads  composed  of  poly-L-lactic  acid  in  combination  with  other  suture  materials  with  collagen  stimulation  properties  are  continuing  to  be  developed,  as  the  popularity  of  thread  lifting  further  grows.
