Helllo, How long do I need to wait after PDO threads to have a facelift? I’ve had a 5 point PDO lift and it has improved things a bit but I’m realising I need a surgical facelift for best results. Thank you
Answer: Facelift after PDO Normally I wait for 1-2 months after PDO placement to perform facelift surgery. During the surgery, I will remove the PDO sutures and apply my sutures for a long lasting results. I have performed well over 3000 face and neck lift using my own technique under local anesthesia and twilight sedation and operated on many who had PDO sutures. It is not a difficult thing to do. You need to make a consult with board certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation.

Answer: Surgical Facelift after a thread lift I have many patients who have been unhappy with the results of thread lifts. Thread lifts cannot provide the 3-dimensional deep tissue repositioning that a well performed facelift can achieve. If the early tissue swelling and oedema has resolved then it should be possible to proceed with the facelift after a month or two.Best of Luck.

Answer: Waiting After PDO Threads Before Facelift Generally you are OK to move forward with a facelift procedure after the inflammation and swelling from the PDO threads has gone down. It would be beneficial to be seen by a surgeon in-person to confirm before undergoing a full facelift procedure.

Answer: Facelift after PDO threads A personal evaluation would be necessary to give you a definitive answer, but in most circumstances a facelift could be performed 2-6 months after the PDO lift. I've performed many facelifts on patients that had a "thread" lift in the past. I usually try to remove the threads if they are permanent. PDO threads will dissolve, but if they are encountered during the lift, I would remove them.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Answer: Facelift after PDO PDO threads will usually have dissolved by 6 months. It may be possible to have a facelift sooner, but this should be decided after seeing your surgeon and discussing the options.
