PDO Thread Lifts for Lower Face in Austin TX

A PDO thread facelift is a cosmetic procedure that uses threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten the skin on the face. The threads are inserted through small incisions in the skin and then pulled tight to lift and smooth the skin. A lower face thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure and can be done under local anesthesia. The threads are absorbed by the body over time, stimulating collagen production and resulting in a tightening of the skin. This procedure is commonly used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face, jawline, cheeks, and neck. A PDO thread lift can be done as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other procedures such as fillers and Botox. Some of the advantages of a lower-face thread lift include:

● Immediate and long-lasting results – The lift and tightening effect of the threads are visible immediately after the procedure. PDO threads typically last for about 12 to 18 months, with some individuals experiencing results lasting up to 2 years.
● Customizable and versatile – A variety of results can be achieved, from subtle to dramatic. PDO threads are used to lift and tighten the skin in different areas of the body, most commonly the face and neck.
● Cost-effective – PDO thread lifts are generally less expensive than surgical facelifts and offer similar results.

The number of PDO threads needed for a lower face thread lift will depend on the individual and their specific concerns and goals. Factors such as the amount of sagging skin, the desired degree of lift, and the patient’s budget will all be taken into account when determining the number of threads needed. The specialist may use a greater number of threads for a more dramatic lift or for a larger treatment area, and fewer threads for a more subtle lift or for a smaller treatment area.

As a rough guide, typically around 4 to 8 threads are used for a lower face thread lift. A qualified and experienced medical professional will be able to assess your needs and determine the appropriate number of threads to use.

The duration of the effects of a lower-face thread lift can vary depending on your skin and the number of threads used. Generally, a lower-face thread lift can last for up to 2 years. However, the effects of the treatment may start to become less noticeable after 6 to 12 months as the body begins to absorb the threads. Many people choose to have a maintenance treatment every 12 months to maintain the lift and collagen stimulation.

As a thread lift is not a permanent solution, the effects will eventually fade. The longevity of the treatment is heavily influenced by how well you take care of your skin, your age, overall health, and lifestyle factors.

PDO threads can be used to lift and tighten the skin on the lower face, including the jawline and cheeks. Jowls are caused by sagging skin and muscle tissue in the lower part of the face. A thread lift is commonly used to lift and reposition this tissue, creating a more defined jawline and reducing the appearance of jowls.

The results of a thread lift will vary from person to person, so it is important to have an in-depth consultation with an experienced specialist. Your specialist will be able to outline the benefits of a PDO thread lift for your skin and develop a treatment plan that is best for you.
It is important to note that a PDO thread lift is a non-surgical procedure, so it will not address all issues that cause jowls, such as loss of volume, excessive fat, or skin laxity. Your practitioner will be able to advise you if other treatments such as fillers, liposuction, or facelift will be needed to achieve your desired results.
