They are known as “threads” in the aesthetic space but have been used in surgeries for decades under the name “sutures.” That’s right-these cosmetic enhancement threads are made of the same materials that surgeons use to close up lung and heart tissue.Ĭosmetic use of sutures from plastic surgery gained real traction in the late ’90s and early 2000s when threads were used to suspend damaged cheek tissue, and soon after that, permanent sutures were being used to help lift the face. Less popular are the threads that are made from poly-L-lactic acid (same as Sculptra) and are also made from absorbable polymers that signal collagen growth and tissue renewal.

Apparently, bone mass peaks around ages 25–30 years and declines gradually thereafter in both men and women.
But there’s no denying the collagen depletion and bone loss that comes with age.
