PDO smooth threads 6 months ago I had 3 pdo max smooth threads put in my laugh line area. My face was very thin before and skin layer flat, but 4 days after I had severe swelling on both sides but more the right side (see before/after pics below). I got an ultra sound recently and it looks like the threads are still there and have caused inflammation of the fat in my face as they were placed too deep. I just did my first RF mcironeeding session to help dissolve, but concerned this is permanent.
I had significant bruising and swelling. After that subsided, I am left with many lumps and raised tunnels. My derm injected these with Kenalog x2 and I've had 2 RF treatments to try to degrade the suture material without improvement. I am reluctant to have them taken out because she has never had to remove any before and I fear removal will cause more trauma. What can I do to diminish these lumps ASAP? And long will it take to subside?
I must fly the day after my PDO thread appointment, is this safe? I do not have a history of clotting or any other health issues. I am not concerned about temporary swelling. I just want to know if this could mes up the threads longer term, or put someone at risks for blood clots. Since it is only PDO threads in the face (only jawline, not legs), I assuming it is the same as flying with stitches in the face. Thanks for helping.
I got one barbed PDO thread on each side of my jawline, and a few on my upper cheeks. I am 8 days post treatment and I am still experiencing a lot of swelling along my left jawline. I have contacted my physician and she said that it will go away soon. Is this normal?? Im getting a bit worried.
3 days ago I had threading done in-between my eye brows. The doctor recommended this over Botox. This is a photo during the procedure. Is this a safe place to use these? I'm having some increased pain and some swelling. If need be is there something I can have done to remove or dissolve these threads?
Its been 2 1/2 weeks since the pdo treading. There was alot of bruising and swelling at first. Should I be concerned? Will it dissolve or break through the skin. I wear a small bandage there, since it feels weird when something brushes up against it.
Had 3 barbed pdo threads on each cheek two days ago. 2 from cheekbone down-one to nasolabial and one to the corner of mouth -and 1 along jawline that came out the other side by my marionette . On one cheek I can see the suture and feel it under the skin when I smile or slightly when not smiling (see pic)Is there a way to massage that spot out or reduce how obvious? Also had ALOT of swelling on right jawline and bruising. Anything to help swelling go down faster besides icing?
