3 months after thread lift vs 3 months after surgical face lift.
$950
Again, I'll let the results speak for themselves;
The first photo is pre thread-lift, the next 3 months post thread lift (also the "before" shot taken for me actual surgical facelift), the last 3 months post surgical facelift.
There is no point in a side on before and after (and after) showing the neck laxity as the thread lift had no effect on my neck what so ever.
Duration of thread lift 18 months max (ha, ha, more life 4 months max).
Cost (per month of lift) = £750 (or £167 for 18 months which isn't a realistic duration IMO)
Duration of surgical face lift (incl neck and brow), 10 years +
Cost (per month of lift) = £95
Save your money ladies and gents and brave the scalpel!

The curse of the mega zits.
Here is something that I found irritating about the PDO thread lift and not just the prickles... ...the mega zits.
Boil-like and persistent.
One popped up to join me over Christmas!
On a side note; you'd never get jaw definition like with with a PDO lift... ...again folks, save you money for the real thing!

Hi Coral, for me (and many others) the thread lift was a total waste of money, so personally I'd not recommend them.
It seems a very hit and miss procedure and even the best practitioners get very poor to no results on patients and I wouldn't be at all surprised if thread lifts vanish from the market eventually.
A friend went to the same practitioner as ChrisFox and had no result. So do it if you don’t mind the possibility of it not working and still being in pain for up to 6+ weeks.

10 years a after a thread lift, that looked good for mate 6 months, I had stitches starting to poke out of my head. it looked like monofilament line, then they became zits. I finally tugged on one and cut off 2-3" and the zit went away. Unfortunately, 2-3 more continued to be constant, I could squeeze pus (the dermatologist said it wasn't pus, but keratin) out of it every single day and they were always raised lumps on the side of my head. Anyway, after over a year, I had to have the cysts surgically removed with 9 stitches. It took months to do the surgery because I had to get them injected with steroids 3 times to shrink them so I didn't end up with a huge gash. DO NOT get t thread lift. Oh, the doc who did mine died several years ago and 5 years after thread lift I got a real face left in Costa Rica with Rashi Rosenstock...worth it!!!

great post, thank you so much for the unbiased opinion, you have saved me from possibly trying this and being discouraged.

I agree. I just had it done and it looks great but I think getting the mini face lift is more cost effective. I was told it will last about 4 months. 2500 vs 6500.

I see another offer has popped up.
LivingSocial has messaged me with another PDO lift offer, the same as before.
I clicked through, it is Dr Khan again this time with yet another website which I do find slightly odd.
Why go to the length of creating and ranking a website only to abandon it and start the whole process again (at least twice)?
The plus point is that they have stopped using the photoshopped 'before' and 'after' images.
In the event that you are trying to keep up, the www.londonbeautyclinic.co.uk/?p=pdo is now deactivated.
They are now faceliftclinic.net/pdo-face-thread-lift/ with no before or after photos or testimonials of PDO (which is worrying, although I'm always skeptical about written testimonials on websites that are not backed up with photos, that is why I prefer this board) and they have yet another site harleystreettreatments.com/pdo-thread-lift/ as featured on their Dec '15 Living Social offer.
Well, all I'll say is that if anyone goes for the offer I hope they have a far better experience than most of us seem to have had.
Some people may be in for a black and blue Christmas with non-optional resting [RS bleep] face!

As I am sure you must be aware sites such as these take a commission anywhere up to 50%.
Which leaves the company and or doctor with let's say £500.
So common sense would dictate that buying a treatment such as this on a discount site is ill advised ? No ?

Did you check Dr Khan's GMC number, I was also looking into PDO and it appears that Dr Khan is not on the GDC register ie is not a registered doctor

Thanks for your PSA Rickbee.
I honestly can't remember what info was given but he's changed websites a number of times since.
Had it been surgery I'd have gone through chapter and verse but PDO in theory is something that can be done by trained nursing staff etc.

How can you be sure that it will last ten years plus ?
Was this guaranteed by the surgeon ?
