I am not a plastic surgeon but as a cosmetic dermatologist knowledgable in facial anatomy and skin biology, I am not surprised that your physician wants to remove the threads that would interfere with your planned surgical procedure. Remember that a surgical neck lift will reorient that skin --...
PDO is a minimally invasive procedure to rejuvenate and lift skin. It may last for 2-4 years depending on several factors. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
I do not recommend removing the threads unless they are causing a problem. In your case, it seems you are having discomfort. It is not easy to remove but if you go to an experienced doctor in placing and removing them, that would be your best option. Best,Andre Berger
