10 years I foolishly had Silkon 1000 injected into my nose, cheeks, and chin. It was over-injected, making one of my cheeks a little fuller than the other and also creating creases/lines, so my face appears to look a tad swollen in the cheek area. A doctor said I have asymmetry in my face and drooping. I want PDO threads. Would threading be dangerous since I have the Silkon injections? I want to push my cheeks back & lift the mid-area of my face. Please look at my pictures. Help and Thanks :)

PDO is not the most effective solution for cellulite as it doesn’t take care of the core problem which is collagen septa pulling on the skin and causing dimpling. You may still see some benefit but it may not be complete. Always consult a board certified physician for your procedures.
Thank you for sharing your question. The results last longer when multiple threads are placed. It is common to see positive results for 1.5 years or longer. See an experienced oculofacial surgeon for detailed evaluation and guidance.
Good luck,
Downtime after getting a thread lift is usually a month. This means no dramatic facial expressions, no running, and nothing that could move your face around too much. If you are planning on a marathon, I would wait until after the marathon to ensure that you have plenty of time to recover after...
