Can you get an infection in PDO threads 2 years after having them put in or are they fully dissolved? I had Covid in December which obviously left my immune system compromised, and straight afterwards my face, chin, throat, ears etc (and afterwards further down my body too) broke out in acne and bumps filled with liquid. I think it’s a combination of hormonal acne and perhaps an infection from the threads - the sores/cysts seem to be concentrated at the entry points of the threads

No I do not believe thread lift will help you with post-blepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction in any long term fashion. Best to have more detailed evaluation with expert.
Any procedures have complications. PDO threads do not have the most dangerous complications compared to fillers. Filler complications such as skin necrosis and blindness from injection inside blood vessels and arteries. But, thread lifts also have complications. It is less safe to get this...
Thank you for the question. I highly recommend doing any type of thermal procedure before the thread lift or thread skin rejuvenation procedure. Waiting 2 weeks after is ideal. You want your skin to go back to normal condition before performing thread lit
