- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

The first photo I shared was several weeks after the procedure. Some time later, the second photo I shared was after one week of taking hyaluronic acid, and I was seeing much improvement from doing so. (After seeing NO improvement before taking the supplement.)
Within three weeks of taking relatively large doses of hyaluronic acid, my face was back to normal. Once my face returned to normal, I quit taking the supplement.
I had to find this solution on my own because the professionals I consulted did not know about it.
I’m done updating now. Hope my experience helps others.

Update # 2
In my last update, I’d ordered a high quality hyaluronic acid supplement. I started the hyaluronic acid supplement less than a week ago. I’m already seeing some improvement. Especially with the dimple - I’d say it has resolved about 50%.
When I spent weeks waiting for “natural hydrolysis” to occur, my face just got more and more disfigured and there was NO improvement. So I know it’s the hyaluronic acid that’s helping.
Last week, the dimple and the thread buckling right below it looked worse than the first picture I posted here weeks ago. I’ll upload a new one now. The superficial thread on the other side still looks bad, but it has improved as well.
(I’ve lost some weight due to being emotionally distressed over this and also because the pain around my mouth makes it difficult to eat.)
...Oh, I want to add something else about this experience: They don’t tell you this, but it’s a psychologically disturbing phenomenon to touch your face (for ex., when washing), and feel the threads under your skin. They feel like bouncy lines/bumps of plastic. It’s a disgusting and unnerving sensation. I wish I could just have my face back the way it was before this horrific procedure.

Update
This week, I scheduled a consultation with a top plastic surgeon in our area. He had several negative things to say about my thread lift. One of the worst things was the possible (and likely) damage to the mental nerve located in the chin area. Because of the precarious placement of the threads that are causing the most trouble, he will need to sedate me to remove them. I’m frightened by this possibility, so I’m going to wait several more weeks to see if those areas improve. I took a pic today and compared it to a pic from a week ago and it actually looks WORSE this week. :-(
I’m really struggling with emotional distress over this.
Has anyone else had thread buckling and superficial threads showing? How long did it take before they were no longer visible?
I saw two studies online showing how hyaluronic acid caused rapid degradation of these threads (in vitro, microscopic, and clinical evidence). In the studies, it was applied directly to the threads. I ordered a high quality hyaluronic acid supplement and I hope it helps speed up the process of the threads dissolving.
Will update if there’s any improvement.
