Can you feel the threads in your face? Is it prohibitive to talk or move face freely, feel tight, painful?

Hi @Brandy2909! If PDO threads are placed too superficial, you may feel and see the thread. I recommend limiting facial muscle movement for 1-2 weeks until the thread settles down to the tissue. Post procedure pain is typically normal which lasts a few days. Post procedure swelling and bruising should be minimal. I hope this was helpful!

Thanks for question.
Unless you place the thread too superficial, you won't able to feel the thread. Also, right after the procedure, it is necessary to limit the facial muscle movement for a week. Especially yawning and laughing need to be limited until the thread settles down to the tissue.

Thanks,

Dr. Choi

Bruises and swelling may last up to 1 week. Asymmetry and wrinkling of skin up to 1 month. Threads can potentially come out of the skin for up to 3 weeks. The treated areas may be tender and painful during sudden movements. No intense or extreme exercises for at least 2 weeks, no yoga, no running, no activity where the head might be upside down. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
