	'''Cog threads''' have barbs (cut, molded, or helical) that catch subcutaneous tissue so the operator can hitch a vector — midface, jaw, brow. This is the “lift” in [[thread lift]], as opposed to [[mono thread]] collagen mesh. Bidirectional barbs are common; press-molded 360° barbs are the [[MINT lift]] pitch. 4D/6D/8D/[[9D facelift\|9D]] on a pouch usually means '''how many rows of barbs''', not nine operations.

			The hitch this encyclopedia prefers for mild midface descent, including a hanging [[nasolabial fold]], when a facelift is not the job. See that fold page.

'''Cog threads''' have barbs (cut, molded, or helical) that catch subcutaneous tissue so the operator can hitch a vector — midface, jaw, brow. This is the “lift” in [[thread lift]], as opposed to [[mono thread]] collagen mesh. Bidirectional barbs are common; press-molded 360° barbs are the [[MINT lift]] pitch. 4D/6D/8D/[[9D facelift|9D]] on a pouch usually means '''how many rows of barbs''', not nine operations.

Plane and vector decide whether you get a cheek or a dimple. Migration, visibility, and a thread poking through are the failure modes. Tying paired cogs at one entry is a published trick against migration.
