I have PDO thread lift 3 days ago and have a lot of swelling bruising, is this normal? (photos)

Bruising and swelling are extremely common after a treatment with PDO thread lifts. Depending on the patient’s physiology, swelling and bruising can last up to two weeks or more. If the swelling persists or pain worsens after two weeks please seek a board-certified dermatologist to determine the next plan of action.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Swelling and bruising can persist for about six weeks following thread lift. I would recommend being patient and following up with your surgeon to ensure optimal healing. Best of luck.

Swelling and bruising can certainly occur after thread lifts, and especially along this timeline. Of course, the degree varies between patients and their propensity to bruise. I usually schedule a 2 week follow up and would probably be smart to schedule with your provider.
