While I'm considering getting a nose thread lift with dissolving barbed threads to raise the tip of my nose, I'm concerned about the safety of the procedure. I know the threads stimulate collagen production, but do they also create scar tissue / nerve damage? Can a biofilm form over the threads? And if there is a problem, how reversible is it (can the threads be removed before they are absorbed by the body)?
15 days ago I had a thread lift on my mid-face a total of 10 threads were used (APTOS Visage Excellence). Since then I have experienced paresthesia and a radiating pain in the left zygomatic region. The pain is exacerbated when the area is evoked from movement or from being pressed. A noticeable effect is that I am unable to close my left eye properly, which is most apparent when sleeping as I wake up with dry eyes. The practitioner who performed the procedure is unsure what to do. Please help.
I had a one stitch facelift three years ago to address mild jowls and the mid face. It worked very well. I am now 55 years old and have been told by a very experienced plastic surgeon that I'm not ready for full facelift. In the interim I looked at thread lifting. I was told by a doctor who specialises in them that thread lifts are not recommended for people who have had surgery as it can cause nerve damage. She said the same was true for the endolift treatment. Is this true?
How risky are PDO threads, in terms of nerve damage? I know there are some very important nerves running around the mouth. I plan on choosing a qualified person to put them in around the jaw and marionette lines, but I still wondered the potential risk of nerve damage. Thank you
I have been going to a popular nurse injector for Botox for 2+ years and have been very happy w/her work. She has started offering Euro Thread lifting and I am very interested. The price is $25 per thread. She does not use barbed threads, they are smooth/hair-like threads. I am wanting them in my lower face to soften nasolabial folds and tighten cheek area. I am worried about possible nerve damage and the possibility of seeing them under the skin, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.
