Best results achieved by combining threads with bio stimulating fillers . I prefer to use threads first ,  after tissue is lifted you need to use less amount of fillers . Procedure can be done same day , or threads can be placed first and fillers can be added 2-3 weeks later .

Leslie Pickens, MD · Answer

I agree that PDO threads should be done first.  The amount of filler requirement may be reduced once the lift is achieved and you will already be anesthetized there in the office and ready for filler.  Alternatively, the swelling from the PDO threads will be resolved in 2-3 weeks and the injector could better judge any volume deficits then so if you are not in a rush for a particular event as you suggest, you can do it stepwise if you don't mind and additional visit and possible swelling and bruising a second time.
