Thread lift PDO complication - what is the cause and treatment? (Photo)

Question

hello dear doctor, About 3-4 months ago, I did a forehead lift with a thread. After 1-2 months, an infection appeared in the form of a papule at the thread connection. What is the cause and treatment? Should the thread be removed? And is it possible to remove the thread after 4 months?

Very likely that any foreign material like a tread should be removed once infection happened. This is the issue you should discuss with your surgeon. Good luck.
