Will PDO threads affect a future facelift? Heard that they can cause scar tissue.

PDO threads, thread lifts, etc are more temporary, minimally invasive procedures that patients may choose before a full, more powerful facelift. I do not offer "thread lifts" because the results are so short-lasting and have treated many patients for facelifts who had prior thread lifts. There is some scar tissue, but it is not a major amount and not a serious problem for a skilled plastic surgeon to address during a full facelift. No need to stress! Good luck.

Having threads or scar tissue remnants should have no effect on a properly performed face and neck lift. In the facelift, different tissue planes are fully elevated and whatever scar tissue is present will just be dissected right through. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Having PDO threads can but not always make a future facelift more difficult. However, I often find that patients who have undergone threads wish they had invested in a more definitive procedure, like a deep plane facelift, from the start. Threads can sometimes create minor scar tissue, but this is usually minimal and doesn't significantly impact the surgical process. The key is that a deep plane facelift offers more natural and longer-lasting results, making it a better investment in the long run, especially when addressing sagging and jowling.
