Claim 7:
8. A method for facial, superficial fat pad repositioning in a patient, the method comprising
identifying at least a first vector to inject at least one monofilament thread, the at least one monofilament thread having a portion of lifting cogs and a portion of anchoring cogs;
pinching the patient's skin to form a tunnel of subcutaneous fat along the first vector;
advancing a cannula containing the at least one monofilament thread through the tunnel until resistance from a fat septum is felt;
upon perforating the fat septum, rotating the cannula, and after rotating the cannula, continuing to advancing the cannula; and
upon reaching the distal end of the first vector, and before releasing the at least one monofilament thread from the cannula, stretching the skin along the cannula where the anchoring cogs will be deposited and simultaneously lifting the superficial fat pad to the desired location.
