ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to assess the medium-term results of using thread-lift sutures as a means to support soft tissues in facial reconstructive surgery. The rationale for the introduction of this method was to provide support for tissues used in the reconstruction in cases where this would otherwise have been difficult to achieve, or would have demanded major additional surgery in patients already undergoing major surgical procedures. The outcome of the procedure was assessed 12 and 24 months after surgery. Patients were satisfied with the results. Judging from the findings of this study, Silhouette sutures are a valuable asset in facial reconstruction surgery when associated with a scrupulous technique and used for the right indications.
