Surgical thread and cosmetic surgery method

A method for carrying out cosmetic surgery operations utilizing a surgical thread (1) for cosmetic surgery, a surgical thread for cosmetic surgery comprising a thread having elements for fixing subcutaneous tissue, said elements comprise a helix shape in the form of a spring, said thread having a diameter of between 0.1 mm to 1. and said helix shaped elements having a diameter of between 0.5 to 5 mm, wherein said thread is formed of a material selected from the group consisting of metal, polymer, biological, and mixtures thereof, the method comprises the steps of:

• (a) fastening of the helix-shaped thread (1) at its front end (6) to a sharp end (7) of a puncture needle (4);
• (b) wounding the thread (1) tightly around the needle (4);
• (c) introducing the needle (4) with the thread (1) in an extended state along the body of the needle (4) as a compression spring and in a compressed state as an extension spring, into a subcutaneous cell following a marked outline, wherein the needle (4) is turned during its introduction following the loop windings of the thread (1);
• (d) unfastening the thread (1) after reappearance of the needle (4);
• and
• (e) completely extracting the needle (4), wherein the needle (4) is turned during its extraction in the opposite direction compared with its introduction, while the thread (1) remains subcutaneous in a stressed state with a tendency to compress or extend under the influence of spring properties, wherein the subcutaneous fat cell compresses in accordance with the state of the thread (1), thus creating an effect of tightening ptosis-affected tissues.

• (b) fastening of the helix-shaped thread (1) in an opening (12) of the puncture needle (4) with a gap (13) between the Page 4 of 7 diameter of the helix and the inner wall of the needle of the order of 0.2 mm to 2 mm;
• (c) introducing the needle (4) with the thread (1) in an extended state along the body of the needle (4) as a compression spring and in a compressed state as an extension spring, into a subcutaneous cell following a marked outline, wherein the needle (4) is turned during its introduction following the loop windings of the thread (1);
