We propose the application of a bidirectional armed needle, which facilitates suturing and soft-tissue fixation. This device can be used during the "back-and-forth" suturing method that is often used in centrofacial lift, nasolabial-fold correction, malar eminence suspension, submental platysmoplasty, canthopexy, etc. It is very useful for performing running mattress sutures and also for mini-invasive and other sophisticated procedures. The advantages of this needle includes a shorter operating time and lower morbidity. It is a useful tool with multiple applications in plastic surgery.
