39 yo in excellent shape, great skin, has done fraxel laser with great outcome & will continue with it. Had fillers to compensate for weight loss in checks and chin. Want a slight pull of the skin upwards to soften a smile lines and a bit of a fold near my dimple. I am 6 months into my fillers and if I add more I would have no lose skin but I will be over filled (bad look). Can I do thread now or wait for filler to dissolve? and can I do laser and fillers afters PDO, if so how long to wait?
