Will taking collagen supplements help to produce more collagen after a thread lift procedure?

I am 54 years old and my jowls are sagging. I am thinking of getting a thread lift and I imagine the barbed type would be used. Will the barbed threads stimulate collagen production to the area?

It is possible that combining Sculptra with PDO threads too soon could overstimulate collagen production and increase the risk of nodules. Waiting 6–12 months is often recommended to avoid this issue, as Sculptra continues to stimulate collagen for months after injection.
