What are some of the long term effects of a brow lift done by PDO threads?

Question

What are some of the long term effects of a brow lift done by PDO threads? Can it cause premature sagging if done at younger ages, like in early twenties, for example?

Peter N. Butler, MD, FACS · Answer

PDO brow threads stimulate collagen as they dissolve. Therefore, they will not cause premature sagging. Instead they offer a lifting effect short term and over time.

The main problem with threadlifiting is there lack of effect. The results with PDO or other threads has been very disappointing. I would recommend that you proceed with another option for lifting the brow. I prefer the transcutaneous browlift but the endoscopic browlift is another good option.

The problem with thread lifts is that they are rather temporary, and over the long term you spent a fair amount of time and money for something that just dies not have the long term results you can obtain with a minimally invasive procedure like an Endoscopic Brow Lift
