Abstract：Objective To explore the efficacy of the combined therapy of polydioxanone sutures,hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin A in facial rejuvenation.Methods The operative plan of embedding polydioxanone sutures was determined according to the patients' requests for lift areas.Hyaluronic acid was injected in the areas with volume deficits.Botulinum toxin A was injected where wrinkles occured.The three therapies above were used in combination for all patients.Results A total 239 patients were involved in this study.After three months' follow-up,all cases showed satisfactory results except 11 cases with slight facial asymmetry.Conclusion The combined therapies of polydioxanone sutures,hyaluronic acid,and botulinum toxin A showed a better result than the independent application of each individual therapy in facial rejuvenation.The combined therapy can also reduce the dosage of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin A when they are used independently,and reduce the number of treatments for each therapy.This combined therapy is worth promoting in clinic.
