Would a thread lift during pregnancy be dangerous?

Question

I’m 7 months pregnant. Due to adding weight my jaw line sagging and face got bigger. Can I have PDO thread for my neck and jaw line? Is it harmful to pregnancy?

Pradnya Apte, BDS · Answer

I would always recommend that
it’s best to avoid any non-essential treatment while pregnant. The health of
your baby is always a priority; women’s bodies can respond to pregnancy in a
variety of ways, and it is difficult to predict how it may react to treatment. While
incredibly rare, there is always a risk with any treatment of complications,
and this is certainly best avoided while pregnant. Additionally, pregnancy tend
to see women carrying excess weight, which is likely to be lost over a period
of time after the birth of your baby, this adds to the unpredictably regarding
long term results. I would suggest, if you are still keen to have treatment six
months after the birth of your baby, this would be a good time to begin to
investigate the treatment further for yourself.

In my capacity as a trainer for Silhouette Soft we would not advise any treatments whilst pregnant. This is for a multitude of reasons- foremost the health of you and the baby has to come first. When pregnant our bodies sometimes respond in odd ways so outcomes and results are unpredictable. Also you tend to carry excess weight when pregnant which will tend to go postpartum, so this means you may not need the treatment. So in my opinion having any aesthetic treatments whilst pregnant is a no no.

Thanks for the question.  While thread lifts are simple procedures, doing an elective procedure during pregnancy is not a good idea.  On the rare chance of a complication, there may be further procedures needed.  It not worth it in the third trimester.  Also the body changes and you may go back to a normal state and may not need them!

Dear Bayart,You could in theory have thread lift during pregnancy, but it would be better to wait until after the baby is born and the extra water weight and baby weight is gone. The results of the facial Rejuvenation lift with be more effective post pregnancy, then.Best. Dr Brecht
