Background Blepharochalasis, induced by the aging process, is an important esthetic blemish which can be solved by blepharoplasty, the most performed cosmetic surgical procedure in the world today to repair droopy eyelids. Nowadays, there is a greater interest to combine blepharoplasty with minimally invasive treatments to harmonize the oval shape of the face. Therefore, blepharoplasty technique could be associated with face thread lifting, a safe and effective technique that optimizes the rejuvenation of the central and lower part of the face. Aim The aim of this study was to assess the overall safety and efficacy of blepharoplasty combined with suspension thread lifting. The author also aimed to demonstrate patients' satisfaction after treatment. Method The study involved 12 patients undergoing blepharoplasty plus threads lifting to improve the mandibular line. Patient's satisfaction was valuated with global esthetic improvement score, visual analog scale score, before and after treatment clinical images. Results All patients showed optimized face rejuvenation and high satisfaction. Patients experienced an immediate improvement in face harmony in addition to the eye refinement and expressed their satisfaction. The combination of plastic surgery and minimal invasive technique did not cause adverse events to the patients and they would recommend it. Conclusion Interest in thread lifting is currently high, and this study highlights the excellent outcome and the visible results of blepharoplasty and threads combination.
