Will my face go back to normal after thread removal? (Photo)

katrin_tigerFeb 26, 2024

I had a PCL thread lift 4 months ago and it went wrong. My doctor used long ones from my nasolabial fold to my cheeks. The threads have been pulling my face and my laugh line became wider And left me with big dimples around it. I Removed the threads a month ago through a mini-facelift. Unfortunately, my laugh line hasn’t gone back to normal and I was wondering will it ever be? How long it will take? I also have some fillers on my nasolabial folds which I’m planning to dissolve.

The technique involves barbed threads that can leave some skin redundancy. In many cases this is technique dependent but would resolve as the threads dissolve.

Before undergoing any facial procedure, you should not have undergone another procedure, which would cause swelling. Doing a thread, lift, or liposuction immediately prior to a facelift would be contraindicated.

There is a small asymmetry in position of your brows and their shape. They are both high and this need to be balanced. Very likely that selective Botox injection would help but you need an expert not an injector. . I do not see any reason for brow lift of any kind in particular tread lift. Hope...
