“…Intralesional steroids reduced the plaque size from 2.5 cm to 1 cm within 2 months. 59 One patient who used barbed threads had inflammation of an acne cyst that resolved spontaneously, whereas 2 patients who used barbed threads developed an epidermal inclusion cyst. 3,51,60 Purulent discharge occurred at the insertion site 14 days and 2 years postprocedure for the 2 patients, respectively, with treatment either with oral amoxicillin/clavulanate 875 mg BID for 4 weeks or excision of the thread and inflammatory tissue.…”

BACKGROUND “Thread lifting” has quickly gained popularity as a minimally invasive treatment for facial rejuvenation. However, the effectiveness is questionable, and the safety and adverse effects are often not discussed. OBJECTIVE To identify and discuss the adverse effects associated with various types of threads. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies describing the use of thread lifts were identified using a PubMed search. Inclusion criteria included studies in which barbed and nonbarbed threads were used for the face and neck. RESULTS Fifty-nine articles consisting of 14,222 patients (14,134 barbed, 81 nonbarbed, and 7 combined cases) were included. The most common side effects overall were facial asymmetry (n = 6,143), edema/tumefaction (n = 453), and ecchymosis (n = 407). Serious adverse effects were rare and consisted of paresthesias, alopecia, and injuries to vessels/glands. Most adverse effects were transient and self-resolving, with the exception of contour irregularities, injuries to vessels/glands, infections, and inflammatory reactions. CONCLUSION Most side effects associated with threads were self-resolving, whereas more serious cases subsided with treatment. Future studies are critical to further determine whether thread lifting provides long-lasting, safe, and satisfying results.

Background: Minimally invasive antiaging procedures are often misused or overused, creating difficulties when the patient later decides to have a face lift. The goal of this study was to examine the most common problems that the senior author (G.S.) faces in his face lifts because of these noninvasive interventions and to demonstrate the methods he uses to solve them. Methods: A review of rhytidectomy cases from 2012 to 2017 performed by the senior author was conducted. All patients who had undergone any type of minimally invasive procedure before they had a face lift with the senior author were included in the study. The aim of the authors’ study was to examine their face lifts regarding the problems created by minimally invasive interventions that the patient had undergone in the past. Results: During the 5-year study period, the senior author performed 552 face lifts. By analyzing these patients, we found that 207 of them had previously undergone one or more minimally invasive procedures, in an effort to delay or avoid a face lift. The problems frequently encountered by the senior author in these patients were the following: (1) cheek fat atrophy because of previous energy-based treatments; (2) significant scar tissue formation because of previous energy-based treatments or thread lifting; and (3) large-volume injectables. In all the above-mentioned cases, the surgeon had to modify his basic surgical plan accordingly. Conclusion: Plastic surgeons today must be perfectly trained to evaluate and solve any of the problems caused during a face lift by misused or overused minimally invasive treatments performed in the past. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.

Pseudolymphomas of the skin are a heterogeneous group of diseases manifested by benign lymphoid infiltrates that clinically and/or histologically mimic skin lymphoma. The group of pseudolymphomas of the skin includes actinic reticuloid, benign lymphocytoma of the skin, true pesvdolymphoma, postscabious lymphoplasia, lymphocytic reactions to insect bites, etc. The diagnosis of pseudolymphoma is based on anamnesis data (the presence of a provoking factor, with the exception of idiopathic pseudolymphomas), clinical picture (a single papule, less often a plaque localized in open areas of the upper half of the body ― the face: cheeks, nose, earlobes; scalp, upper extremities, chest), results histological, immunophenotypic studies, and with persistent persistence of rashes ― on the results of molecular biological studies. The similarity of clinical and pathomorphological signs of pseudolymph with malignant lymphoproliferative processes creates significant diagnostic difficulties and requires a thorough examination with the involvement of pathologists and oncologists. Diagnostic difficulties are often the cause of erroneous or late detection of skin lymphoma, which negatively affects the prognosis of the disease. Treatment tactics are determined by the morphological variant of lymphoid infiltration, as well as the presence and nature of the provoking factor. The majority of idiopathic psvdolymph is successfully treated with systemic glucocorticosteroids, however, in the case of resistance to systemic glucocorticoids, recommendations on treatment tactics have not yet been developed. Prolonged, often recurrent course, as well as the possibility of transformation of the process into malignant lymphoma of the skin, requires long-term clinical observation of patients. The case presented in the article confirms that the crucial importance for the successful diagnosis of pseudolymphoma lies in the analysis of anamnesis data, clinical picture, histological and immunohistochemical studies.
