Volumizing Threads (Jamber) in the Midface and Controlling Side Effects: Clinical Cases

Abstract

The clinical application of Polydioxanone (PDO) threads, conventionally associated with tissue lifting, for volumizing effects in midface rejuvenation. The novel approach involves utilizing PDO volumizing threads to achieve physical augmentation, serving as a "solid filler." The study introduces a more convenient insertion method for PDO volumizing threads, emphasizing ease and efficiency. Clinical cases showcase the effectiveness of volumizing threads in addressing midface concerns, including nasolabial folds and midcheek grooves. The integration of volumizing threads for sagging area support, is explored for natural-looking enhancements. While emphasizing positive outcomes, potential side effects like thread protrusion are discussed, along with solutions for their mitigation. The volumizing thread is presented as a satisfactory procedure for patients averse to fillers or seeking subtle enhancements, with the recommendation of combining it with cog threads for those desiring distinct changes in facial shape. Overall, volumizing thread offers a minimal side-effect alternative for midface rejuvenation.
