Is it safe to get a thread lift while breastfeeding?

Hi, thanks for your question. Neither thread lift or filler treatments are recommended during pregnancy or nursing as the effects of these treatments on both pregnancy and nursing are unknown. In the case of a thread lift treatment, the threads that are typically used are called PDO threads, and these dissolve and are metabolized by the body anywhere from 6-9 months following your treatment, and there is simply not enough evidence out there as to whether these threads could somehow negatively affect your breast milk or not. It's always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please speak to your doctor or provider if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment to lift and tighten the skin. PDO threads are FDA approved as a medical tool to be used in soft tissues of the face wherever is deemed appropriate by a medical professional. It is made of polydioxanone (PDO), a material which is a dissolvable suture that is absorbed by the body. It is 100% ok to get PDO threads and almost any other minimally invasive procedure while breastfeeding. In some cases you will have to pump and dump milk over 24 hour period. Always contact a board certified medical practitioner for your treatments.
