The Rise and Refinement of Breast Thread Lifting: A Contemporary Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Breast thread lifting is a minimally invasive technique for correcting mild to moderate ptosis, offering aesthetic enhancement with reduced morbidity compared to traditional mastopexy. This review examines the anatomical underpinnings, clinical indications, technical nuances and limitations of breast thread lifting. The breast's fascial architecture, particularly the role of Cooper's ligaments and the retromammary space, critically influences thread trajectory and vector planning. Classification systems assist in proper patient selection, highlighting the suitability of thread lifts for Grades I-II ptosis with minimal skin excess. Advances in ultrasonography have improved preoperative planning, thread placement accuracy and postoperative monitoring. Various thread types, including PDO, PLLA, PCL and Silhouette Soft, offer different lifting capacities and collagen-stimulatory properties, necessitating tailored material selection. Although thread lifts offer immediate improvements, their transient nature necessitates careful patient counseling to manage expectations regarding durability and potential maintenance sessions. Innovative techniques, including clavicular anchoring and multi-level subdermal scaffolding, have expanded the procedural repertoire. Despite certain limitations, breast thread lifting remains a valuable tool within the aesthetic surgeon's armamentarium, particularly for patients seeking minimally invasive options with shortened recovery periods and favorable psychosocial outcomes. Future developments are expected to further enhance safety, reproducibility and long-term results.
