In the Philippines, cosmetic surgeons are just beginning to use barbed sutures as an alternative to facelift surgery. The attraction this offers to patients is that it does not involve extensive surgery with its attendant risks, hospitalization, nor long periods of recovery from the swelling and bruising that invariably accompanies facelift surgery. The Philippine Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons has taken the lead in informing all practicing plastic surgeons and residents about this new technique. There will be a seminar at the Cardinal Santos Medical Center in Greenhills, San Juan, Philippines about the use of barbed sutures, more commonly known as "Aptos threads," on Wednesday, November 3, 2004.
