Anatomical Consideration for Double Chin Thread Lifting.
Review in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThread lifting is a popular minimally invasive option for correcting submental fullness. Given the complex anatomy and multifactorial causes of double chin deformity, anatomical understanding is critical for safe and effective treatment. This study outlines key anatomical considerations and procedural strategies for optimal outcomes in double chin thread lifting.
methodsThis review integrates cadaveric dissection, ultrasound imaging, and clinical experience to analyze cervical anatomy, focusing on platysmal patterns, fascial layers, and neurovascular landmarks. Two thread techniques (I-shaped and U-shaped cogged threads) are compared, with emphasis on safer fixation using the subangular deep fascia.
resultsKorean patients exhibit a high prevalence of platysmal decussation (85%). Anchoring to the subangular deep fascia avoids critical structures such as the great auricular nerve and parotid gland, offering enhanced safety over traditional mastoid fixation. Medial-to-lateral thread insertion with reverse-specific cogs improves central submental traction. Ultrasound guidance further enhances procedural accuracy.
conclusionUsing the subangular deep fascia as an anchor point improves safety and effectiveness in double chin thread lifting. Individualized planning based on anatomical variation, fat volume, and platysmal type is essential for optimal and lasting results.
