Non-surgical brachioplexy using polydioxanone threads and onabotulinum toxin type A in an Indian female patient: A case report
Background: Polydioxanone (PDO) threads have been used to improve face sag and laxity; however, they are seldom used for body laxity. Similarly, onabotulinum toxin type A has rarely been reported for intradermal use in skin tightening. Materials and Methods: We discuss use of PDO threads in combinat...

| description | Background: Polydioxanone (PDO) threads have been used to improve face sag and laxity; however, they are seldom used for body laxity. Similarly, onabotulinum toxin type A has rarely been reported for intradermal use in skin tightening. Materials and Methods: We discuss use of PDO threads in combination with intradermal onabotulinum type A for the treatment of bilateral arm laxity after significant weight loss. Results: Bilateral skin laxity of arm was substantially corrected with two sessions of combination treatment with PDO threads and onabotulinum type A. Conclusion: A somewhat easy, significant, and effective technique leading to modest correction of arm laxity in this patient with PDO threads and onabotulinum toxin type A may suggest this method as an option for patients seeking non-surgical options with minimal downtime. |
