Rapid autoimmune fat loss - how often would I need new threads & what kind for lower face? (Photo)

Question

I have mild laxity of the bottom of my face from rapid autoimmune fat loss. How often would I need to get new threads put in, and what kind should I ask about for Nasalabial folds, marionette lines, and under my chin? And is this type of laxity likely to come back without any further fat loss and the collagen building from the threads? Thank you!

Patients that are very good candidates for threads are the ones with heavy jowls or have lower third, because the thread needs to have some kind of support to be anchored in the first place I suggest a combination of derman fillers on your chin and pre jowl area and a collagen stimulater such as sculptra

We are so sorry to hear about the complications caused by your autoimmune disorder. Fortunately when it comes to restoring lost volume, PDO threads offer one of the best options. Screw Threads in particular are effective at restoring the lower areas of the face, like the jaw area and around the mouth. Also known as twisted or corkscrew threads, screw threads consist of intertwined threads that work to restore fullness to sunken areas of your face. Plus the results can last for 6–9 months! Additionally, dermal fillers have proven highly effective in treating deeper skin grooves, like nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-chin lines.
