While reading about PDO thread breast lift, I read that the threads are inserted into Cooper’s ligament. Should this theoretically help prevent breast sagging in women (as this occurs partially because of the loosening of coopers ligament)? Can a combination of barbed and loose PDO threads help rippling in a breast implant by lifting and reinforcing the thinned skin?
Answer: PDO threads breast lift? While there are claims of successful breast lifts with threads, at thgis time there are no valid scientific studies that show any significant lasting benefit. You will be wasting your money..I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: PDO thread lift for breasts not long term In my experience, thread lifts for the breast do not last. They may look ok for several weeks but can tear/shift and give abnormal shape. Also, they can leave large puncture scars high on the chest.I would not advise them, especially with implants already in place which could be ruptured by the thread procedure.A traditional breast lift and/or assessment of you implants would best be done in consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Answer: Thread Revival We are now into round two with threads, and now it is being used all over the body. There is no evidence threads have any long term benefits, either in the face or used off-label as a breast 'lifting' tool, and good evidence that results are short. Don't believe the hype, its all a sham to get your money.

Answer: Breast lift Dear runner27, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thatsbeing brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. 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.

Answer: "Thread Lift" for Breasts The idea of suspending or lifting the tissues with dissolving threads either in the face or breast has come and gone in my opinion. It does not work reliably, nor does it provide a lasting lift.While laxity of Cooper's ligament does in fact contribute to breast sagging over time, skin laxity, and a change in composition of the breast tissues from gland to fat are way more important contributors.Only a true breast lift can correct these issues.
