Ideal Candidates
Anyone who is looking to correct lines, wrinkles, and other manifestations of aging in the face can be a good candidate for a PDO thread lift procedure. If a person’s sagging skin is under the chin and near the cheeks, the procedure is especially effective and beneficial for them.
Ideal candidates are between the ages of 30-65.
Customizable Treatments
PDO thread treatments address various facial cosmetic concerns. The threads can be injected in different parts of the face, including the following:
- Laugh lines
- Eye wrinkles
- Under-eye area
- Cheeks and jowls
- Neck
- Chin and jawline
- Naso-jugal and nasolabial folds
- “11-lines” and forehead
PDO threads come in a range of thicknesses, depending on the area of the face where they will be injected.
Risks and Recovery
Thread lifts require minimal recovery time. The procedure only takes 30 minutes to an hour and only involves local anaesthesia, so you can get back to your normal routine. You do, however, still need to avoid activities that make you sweat heavily or cause extreme facial movements for the first couple weeks. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons considers thread lifts low-risk procedures. The most you’ll experience is some slight pain at the injection site, bruising, and swelling, but these should fade a few hours up to 2 weeks after the treatment.
If you experience any complications, see your practitioner immediately. They’ll take out the sutures, which should solve the irritation.
