A doctor recommended PDO threads to lift my cheeks and eyebrows. I read threads can lead to granulomas. Are they safe? (Photo)

I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant or moxi regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8/pixel8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Understand any type of THREADING is very very temporary at best, usually maxs out at 6 months. The granuloma complications though rare are very hard to treat. Maybe a minor 1 stitch facelift small sideburn incision would be better. Fee fo that $3,000. It is under local anesthesia.
