Cosmetic thread generally refers to absorbable suture, a new type of suture material that can be degraded and absorbed by the body after being implanted into human tissues without the need to remove the suture, and is a commonly used material in cosmetic surgery. The absorption time of cosmetic suture mainly depends on the quality and composition of the suture used. The absorption time of clinically available absorbable threads is generally 1 to 2 weeks, 2 to 3 weeks and 2 to 3 months.
The 1 to 2 weeks absorbable cosmetic threads are pure natural collagen synthetic threads, protein threads are widely used in various types of surgical procedures. Protein threads have lower tension and do not cause foreign body reaction, so protein threads are absorbed faster. 2 to 3 weeks absorbable cosmetic threads are generally sheep’s intestines. 2 to 3 months absorbable cosmetic threads are generally polymer chemical synthetic threads.
Some patients may experience rejection reactions after using cosmetic threads, resulting in non-absorption of cosmetic threads. Patients with non-absorbable cosmetic threads should go to the hospital in time and under the guidance of the doctor for regular treatment.
