LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland uses Elasticum® suspension threads, inserted through 3 mm incisions without scalpel excision. The day-hospital procedure takes about 90 minutes under local anesthesia with light sedation, and patients return home the same day. Thread placement and the number used are planned around each patient’s anatomy. Recovery downtime is typically 3 to 15 days, and the treatment can be combined with buttock lipofilling.
