PDO thread lift for sagging neck - gave me back my jawline
PDO Thread Lift for Sagging Neck
First experience with PDO threads after reading many differing views.
[First time posting here too - felt I needed to give back after finding it such a brilliant source of reality (thanks folks!) vs the biased best-of images and marketing hype from cosmetic providers.]
WHY PDO: Nurse Julie recommended it to me when I told her I wanted something to correct the crepey skin when I turn my head.
AREA TREATED: Under chin - 50 PDO threads.
PAIN LEVEL: initial pin-pricks of the local anaesthetic feel the same as botox injections and I was wincing at the thought of 50 threads being pushed into my skin ...but felt no pain at all - just the feel of movement under my skin. I had the treatment 4 hours ago and took painkillers when I got home just in case, but still not feeling any pain or discomfort. Can move my head freely with just a subtle tightened feel to it.
TREATMENT TIME: less than 15 minutes - pushed in and shaft covers removed very quickly!
RESULT: Instantly gave me back my jawline on the side profile. I didn't have the core of my neck done, so there's no difference from the front profile, but I'd definitely consider having that done too (if Julie recommends it - she was great at saying no to other ideas I had, which I really appreciated given the 'done' look isn't my thing).
Keen to see what happens if anything, over time.
4 months After 1 treatment (Under chin PDO Threads)
Recommend? Not if you're looking for a dramatic change. If like me, you prefer subtle changes that in combination create a natural younger appearance, then yes.
Note: I was told at the treatment (and by another nurse) that threads take up to 6 months to take effect.
PHOTOS: I've tried to take the photos in exactly the same camera position for both (it is very easy to make it look significantly better if I hold the camera slightly higher -- so be careful when reviewing other before/afters and make sure the angle is exactly the same!)

I have just posted photos and a review of that procedure so you can see what I mean.
I will definitely have PDO neck threads again in future.
I am keen to try Profhilo/Sudekos on that area too (as long as I get the approval from Nurse Julie - I think she thinks I'm nuts with all my crazy ideas, lol) x
