Can threading to the jaw make you look worse/more full in the face?

Question

Hi I’m considering having PDO threads lower face but I’m worried if it can actually make jowls worse or is this impossible. I’ve seen a couple of pictures where people have said it made their faces look fuller/fatter rather than lifted. Not sure if this would of just been initial swelling or if it genuinely comes with the risk of giving you worse jowls/a chubbier appearance long term. I have a very slim face with slight jowls so it seems like a good option for me but want to be very careful….

There is no doubt in the mind of board certified plastic surgeons, with significant experience in face/neck lifts, that tread lifts do not work. In best case scenario patient can see "improval" for few months and after that it is all decline. Considering that you did not submit any photos it is difficult to say whether you are candidate for lower face/neck lift but trad lift is definitively poor solution. Second and third, in person, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
