- Abstract
Background: Thread lifting is a common procedure in minimally invasive esthetic techniques and can also be used to raise the drooping soft tissue of the forehead by vertically inserting threads into the forehead. Aims: This study aimed to examine the effect of forehead thread lifting on enhancing upper eyelid opening. Methods: Fifteen patients were included in this study, all of whom underwent eyebrow thread lifting with MINT LIFT® UP. Photographs of the patients were taken before, immediately after, and 1 and 12 weeks after surgery. Changes in the position of the eyebrows and eyelids were measured. The paired t‐test was used to determine the statistical significance of differences. Results: At 1 week after surgery, the eyebrows were at a lower level compared with before surgery, and no significant changes in eye‐opening were observed. However, at 12 weeks after surgery, the eyebrows and upper eyelids were both significantly elevated when compared to the preoperative state. Conclusions: Eyebrow lifting can be performed using multidirectional thread lifting.
