| Summary: | Polydioxanone (PDO) threads have been used as a non-surgical alternative to treat skin laxity. This article describes the technique of applying mono, twin, and screw PDO threads around the umbilical scar forming a support mesh on the abdominal wall, to pull the skin in this region in the opposite direction to gravity. The authors present the results obtained with the technique one and four months after the procedure, showing the improvement of tissue connection with the repositioning of the abdominal scar and general aesthetic improvement. |
