Abstract
Self-retaining barbed sutures, innovations for nonsurgical facial and neck rejuvenation, are currently available as short APTOS threads or long WOFFLES threads. The author uses APTOS threads for malar rounding, facial tightening and firming, and uses WOFFLES threads as a sling, suspending ptotic facial tissues to the firm, dense tissues of the temporal scalp.
