Almost
cosmetic surgeries need skin shifting and enough time for tissue remodeling. So
we should have been used something to fix soft tissues in a new location. Surgical
sutures could be the most generalized and safest material for any anatomical
area because they usually have long histories more than several decades. However
sutures need so much time for every stich so we have been found something new
easier methods. If specially barbed sutures can be injected with one
directional finger motions using needle like filler injections, we can make
hundreds of fixating points within a minute.
We
authors have been developed for 10 years this new surgical skills using barbed
threads prefilled needles and inserting tools for Asian rhinoplasty especially
for the nasal tip augmentation. Massive soft tissue movement and fixation were also
successful even in breast lifts or buttock lifts as much as rejuvenating facial
surgeries. Sometimes we used as like supportive scaffolds for fat grafts for a certain
period, and we found that scaffolds would be helpful for almost kind of fat
graft with just little burdens of risk.
We
have been found much lighter complications in all kinds of surgeries we tried
than usual conventional things over 10 years, in more than 2,000 cases, so we
want to introduce to you these minimally invasive surgeries.
