PDO thread lift ripple. Will this go away?

Question

Hi I I’m day one after pdo threadlift 3 on each side long barb. I am pleased with the lift even if it is uneven. I will go back for more on that side. My concern is visible raised threads on one side with visible rippling. Will this go away? Can I get filler on it to smooth it out? Also I am Thinking of doing Titan to tighten the skin on lower jowls. When is it safe to do so?

Rebecca Weiss, DO · Answer

In the first couple of days, or even weeks, after PDO thread placement, visible rippling can occur but in my experience, it typically resolves on it's own. You can try massaging the area in a backwards (toward the ears) motion to see if you can get the thread to 'release' or simply leave it alone. If it doesn't resolve after 2 weeks, your doctor may want to intervene to make the correction. As far as Titan is concerned, I would wait at least 2 weeks post-thread placement before having a treatment.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Visible rippling can occur in the first couple weeks after thread lift. However, it should resolve on its own. I would recommend waiting about two weeks, and if the rippling isn’t gone, speak with your doctor. Best of luck.

This will go away, but may take longer than you would like. I would return to the provider and they may be able to apply pressure and rubbing in a particular area and direction to free it up sooner.
