Had Nova pro threads #4 strength. On the right side I have 3 bumps, one similar on the left. Will this fade soon? (photos)

Question

I had PDO threads, #4 strength. On the right sideI have 3 bumps. I have one similar on the left. Will they become less of a bump, or do I need some type of second procedure, is this normal? I have thin skin, low 60's. Any advice please.

ThreadLifts are a great way to quickly tighten the skin and look fabulous. They work by inserting thin dissolvable PDO threads under he skin surface, and gently affixing them to the underside of the skin to get a lift. This grows even better over the next 4-6 weeks, as your body makes collagen around the threads and give an added vector of lift. Improvement seen can last up to a year! They are not without some rare side effects, and it looks as if you may have a few areas that need a little releasing. This can be done with a small blunt cannula to release the tugging in that area. It is a simple procedure, and very effective. If you did not do anything, that would likely resolve slowing on its own, but there is no need to suffer..it is a very simple thing to fix! Good 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.

This are the threads ends or pieces of the threads. Dissolving by your body could that >1year. Only method ti correct is removal with micro incisions and under magnification by a boarded PS. Fee $2,000. .. I have seen this very often because of poor insertion techniques.
