Age 31, BMI 23, how long should I wait between PDO thread lifts & neck lift?

Question

I'm a 31 y/m, BMI:23. I had chin liposuction and lipolysis injection (aka Kybella) two years ago and also PDO thread lift was done 2 months ago. However, despite all these treatments, I could not achieve the desired result. Deep Neck Lift operation is recommended. I have concerns about getting the result I want from neck lift since thread lift has been done recently. How long should I wait after the thread lift procedure in order not to affect the neck lift surgery?

Treads will not significantly interferre with neck lift surgery. Optimally, one should try to remove resudual treads but most of it may be resorbed by the time of your neck lift surgery. It is best to discuss tjis issue with your surgeon in details before surgery. Good luck.

Adrian E. House, MD, FACS · Answer

Given the previous PDO thread lift you had done two months ago, it's essential to allow sufficient time for proper healing and tissue stabilization before proceeding with a Deep Neck Lift. The exact waiting period can vary depending on your individual healing process and the specific techniques used during the thread lift. 
In general, I typically advise patients to wait at least 6-9 months after a thread lift before considering any surgical procedure in the same area. This time frame allows the threads to settle, any potential inflammation to subside, and your tissues to regain their natural strength and position.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Given the timeline you provided, with a PDO thread lift done 2 months ago, it would be advisable to wait a minimum of 6-12 months before considering a deep neck lift operation. This waiting period allows for sufficient healing, tissue settling, and evaluation of the results achieved from the thread lift. Waiting ensures that any potential effects from the previous procedure have resolved, providing a clearer assessment of the neck area and optimizing the outcome of the neck lift surgery. However, it's crucial to evaluate your specific case and provide personalized recommendations based on your individual circumstances. Only then we will be able to guide you on the appropriate waiting period for the best possible outcome.
