Is it safe to do chin liposuction after having a PDO thread lift?

Question

Hi I was wondering is it safe to do chin lipo after having a pdo thread lift? I did my thread lift about two months ago.

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

yes, it is safe to have chin liposuction after a thread lift. A thread lift does not really produce a "lift" like it implies. A PDO thread causes a biostimulatory response to cause collagen formation and tightening in the dermis. Liposuction occurs in the subcutaneous layer and is a very safe procedure.

John Mesa, MD · Answer

If the PDO thread lift was performed only on the face and not on below the jaw line (chin area) it is safe to undergo chin liposuction, However, if PDO threads were placed on the neck/chin area you should discuss this matter with the surgeon that placed the threads.

Dear NoemiJackson,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I suppose there are a lot of variables to take in the consideration like exactly where the threads are and where you were going to have liposuction.

It’s up to each individual provider. I suggest having a few in person consultations.

Consider getting a copy of your medical records for the thread left so that a new provider would have a good idea of where they were placed.

Best,
