Not Worth It

I had PDO Nova Threads last week. At first I was hopeful there was a slight change, but after 3 day when the swelling went down, I think it looks worse. There is no tightening, and it even seems it looks lumpier than before. Waste of money, can't wait til the dissolve.

Hi .. have the lumps gone away yet? Iv also posted to ask for the drs on RS advice. I had silhouette soft and PDO ... iv have awful lumps 3 weeks post procedure in my neck very central throat region which look awful! I can say I see any results really either! Just left with these horrible lumps!

I guess I’m glad I don’t have any lumps. Just zero results ans still nerve pain 3 1/2 weeks later. My main pain is financial. Please people don’t do this procedure. Too risky with no results

No, the lumps haven't went down. This procedure was crap, I am very skeptical of the RS reviews for thread lift , because if someone with mild aging (like myself) can't notice a little tightening and so easily got these lumps, I would guarantee many other people are having bad experiences. I guess there is nothing to do from here, but wait for them to dissolve.

What kind of threads are they? Smooth, twisted, barbed...

They look awful .... I can even move them by pushing on them....!!! It’s like they aren’t deep enough. I’m going to get a review next week.... it was a very expensive procedure too! $3000 AUD..... I had them in my cheeks too.... which are better .... but I still don’t think it’s worth the money
Thanks for replying

Yes, I too can feel them under the skin. I've heard they take 6 months to dissolve, but other people have said their's went away in 3 months. I hope they dissolve quickly for us!!! Make sure you leave a review, so other people know not to get this junk in their skin.

UPDATE: I must add to this unfortunate situation by reporting, I ad a barb come through my cheek! YES, I smiled earlier and felt a sharp piercing pain. After I gently brushed my cheek to feel what is like a small sharp hair poking through the skin, you can also feel the thread running underneath. So now a barb has obviously poked through my cheek, I hope it is not serious, but it really hurts if it is touched even slightly or brushed against the wrong direction. These stupid threads should not be in medi-spas or anywhere, the bad experiences are not being put in reviews but plenty of people are on RS asking docs for advice about the lumps, bumps, and barbs poking through. As these crappy strings become more known, the approval rating will surely shrink. What a hideous scam this has been . It is also worth noting, I went to one of the top injectors in the country, so she must understand facial anatomy very well. I think these barb wires are terrible for most people, but it also takes someone that is not just a doctor, but they've done hundreds of them, messed up many times to gain experience. Ladies, dont do this crap, there really is not benefit and only risks

So awful this happened. Have you had the barbed thread removed yet? It needs to come out.

Threads show under skin and it doesn't tighten enough for the risk of dents/bumps

The photo shows that you can actually see the threads under the skin. You cant see it as badly when my head is up, but under bright light or when I lower my head you see the thread, it is such a mess. I had mild aging, mild lax skin, no left with lumps. Seriously, dont do threads, it is such a scam.

I also did threads June 18, 2019. Absolutely zero result and bad pain still in my cheek. Did my research was at a top Plastic Surgeon office. Would tell people don’t do it

Absolutely right - The approval rating for this junk is going to be below 50% eventually. I see so many people asking drs for help regarding the complications, but many of them did not leave reviews. These dis solvable threads are just becoming popular, so the complications aren't being reported enough.

I know wish there had been more negative reviews before I did it

Who is the doctor? I need to avoid them! please warn me.
