Quantitative assessment of fixation strength in combined thread lifting: Comparative analysis of bidirectional-multidirectional versus double bidirectional thread combinations
The strategic combination of bidirectional with multidirectional threads provides superior fixation strength and more uniform tissue engagement compared to using bidirectional threads exclusively. These findings have direct clinical implications for optimizing thread selection in facial rejuvenation procedures, potentially enhancing the longevity and naturalness of aesthetic outcomes.
