Is it common for PDO threads to come loose?

Question

Had a PDO thread lift in October and since the initial visit I’ve had to go back to the doctor four times due to the threads loosening on both sides. I love the end result of the procedure but concerned about the amount of times I’ve had to go back to get it fixed.

Thank you for you question.

It is my understanding that the PDO threads that are used to lift (barbed) will need to be redone every 6 months or so as they do come loose. The other types of PDO threads need to be done once a month.

We have opted to use Silhouette Threads when patients want a lift since they last much longer and are made up of PLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) which stimulates collagen. Something you can look into for the future.

I hope that helps.

Best.
