What happens when thread lift disappears?

Question

I'm considering having a thread lift but was wondering what happens when the threads start to dissolve? Does the face slowly go back to it's pre thread state? And how long before you can put new threads in? Do I have to walk around with my old droopy face and wait for the old threads to be fully dissolved? Thanks in advance for your answers

Thank you for your question. In our practice, we use
Novathreads, which are dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) sutures used for non-surgical lifting.
When the sutures begin to dissolve, it is likely you will notice the gradual
return of sagging features. However, there is evidence to support that collagen
is produced in the tissues surrounding the threads, which can lead to a longer
lasting effect. While Novathreads are a wonderful non-surgical alternative, it
is only temporary and does require follow up treatments to maintain results. I
usually like to wait 6 weeks between Novathread treatments, but threads can be
added prior to the previous threads completely dissolving.
