Threads and fillers can complement each other well, but only when role separation is clear. Lift, projection, and contour support should not be treated as interchangeable goals.
A combined treatment plan works best when each modality has a clear role. Threads are for support and vector-based repositioning; fillers are for projection, contour refinement, and targeted volume replacement.
Overcorrection happens when fillers are used to imitate lift or when threads are expected to restore missing volume. The result can be a heavier midface and less natural contour transition.
Combination therapy is strongest when the treatment sequence reflects anatomy and objective, not when every modality is used in every patient.
