Question

This is scary! is this common or just a terrible execution?

Andre Berger, MD · Answer

Sometimes patients experience dimples in the face from a threadlift that is caused by the cones affixing to the tissues. This is where the tension is and it does relax over time. Not every patient experiences this and if they do, it is common and does go away.

I am glad you are doing your research and asking questions! I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He or she will go over the risks, benefits, and alternatives of threading or any other procedure you might be considering. It is very important to know not just what the up side is to a procedure but also what can go wrong so that you are fully informed.To my knowledge, permanent contour irregularities from threads is an uncommon complication of the procedure. I hope this helps!

PDO Thread Lift is a technique that in hands of an expert doesn’t cause permanent dents. The site of injection is carefully planned and placed. The thread travels subdermally and it dissolves after about 12 weeks leaving your own collagen in place. The follow up must be done after 2-4 weeks to evaluate the results. Usually at this time patients have a very nice improvement of the treated area. When you feel ready to start you journey you must consult an expert physician in face threading. Dr. LM

With proper technique and followup, this should not happen. We do a 2 week followup after the patients first treatment to assess and add or adjust. The threads can be manipulated and even removed if absolutely necessary, but the likelihood of persistent dents is low. Remember, most of these threads are dissolvable, so nothing is permanent. Find a physician, get a consult, and look at their before and after photos to gain a confidence level.
