Exit points of PDO threads on my cheekbones after a facelift create these “bumbs” when I smile. (Photo)

Hello, Thank you for the photos. The thread lift procedure will definitely help in your case. For best results it can be combined with platysmal bands Botox injections. Good luck, Oxana Popescu MD

Hello stinadoll, At 19 years old, I would not recommend that you undergo a thread lift. Thread lift is primarily meant to address sagging skin, which you currently do not have. I would recommend sticking with dermal fillers at the moment. Best of luck! 

Hello, and thank you for your question. Dimpling and puckering can occur right after a thread lift. I would recommend waiting about a week before you make judgments about the results. If, after a week, you are still concerned, I would speak with your doctor. Best of luck. 

Hello, and thank you for your question. Swelling can last for a couple of weeks, so I would recommend waiting a while and then reassessing. Fillers can be dissolved if you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, and threads will eventually dissolve. Best of luck.

Hello, and thank you for your question. It looks as if these bumps may be caused by poor technique. These threads can be released easily during a simple procedure. However, they may also resolve on their own. I would speak with your surgeon regarding possible solutions. Best of luck. 

Hello youngatheart888, It is generally recommended that patients who require dental work following their thread lift wait at least two weeks. However, I would discuss this with the surgeon who performed the procedure to ensure your results are long-lasting. Best of luck.
