3 months after thread lift vs 3 months after surgical face lift.

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!

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!

Lily is Dr Khan's lovely assistant who handles all his admin. Dr Khan talked me through the procedure and explained when he no longer did the other kind of thread lifts. He was careful to numb me first and did keep asking if I was ok, but my face seemed to eat through the anaesthetic cream rapidly. !!! One word of warning !!!, I've just noticed that the before and after photos on the website of the older lady in a cream jumper and pearl earrings are actually the same photo but one is digitally manipulated! :O I've got an eye for detail, so look at how the individual hair strands are in both photos and the wrinkles on her clothes. Maybe the images were supplied to him but either way that is not good. I'm tempted to give one star for that, but it wouldn't reflect how nice he is in person. I did watch the procedures on YouTube so I do know that it seemed to work for some people but it also seems there is little longevity in the results. One thing I will reiterate is that I would not have paid more than the offer price £950 for the full face and partial neck, and with the results I had which were totally not worth it I wish I'd avoided the whole experience. I would suggest people save their money and don't bother with this procedure.
