I only want my jawline and lower face tightened up a bit; I want to restore my face to a more V-shape. Recently, I had dis-solvable PDO Nova threads put in, 2 on each side. It did nothing for my mild lax skin, so now I am moving on to a mini lift. Will these threads pose any issues with a mini-lift? Especially, with SMAS and the platysma, will undissolved threads cause dents, tears or complications? How long do I have to wait after threads for the lift?

Answer: Mini lift after thread lift. Mini lift after thread lift. when these are in countered after a thread left the threads can be excised and usually causes no problem with irregularity or bumps etc. See a very experienced facelift surgeon and this can be done as early as 3 months later unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Answer: Will PDO threads pose an issue with a lower mini-facelift? It is not unusual to feel that the thread lift was ineffective. Absorbable threads should not pose a problem with a lower or mini-facelift.I would suggest your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with who has all of the modalities of treatment available. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Facial rejuvenation needs to be individualized. What would be an ideal approach for one patient is not necessarily the same for someone else. Based on the examination and discussion at the consultation, you should have a better understanding of the various options that can achieve the best cosmetic result for you.
