For 1 week before: avoid blood-thinning supplements (vitamin E, fish oil, gingko, garlic supplements) and over-the-counter NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, aspirin) unless medically necessary — these increase bruising risk. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin if possible. Eat beforehand to avoid lightheadedness. Plan to avoid laying flat for 4 hours after Botox.
PDO Thread Lift (also known as thread lift, polydioxanone threads) is one of several options in this treatment category. The main differences vs. alternatives are formulation, onset time, duration, and pricing. Your Kansas City provider can recommend the best fit for your specific goals during consultation.
The threads themselves dissolve within about 6 months, but they trigger collagen production that maintains the lifting effect for 12–18 months total. Some areas with thicker skin may hold results longer; thinner skin and more active areas (around the mouth) may need more frequent refreshers.
No — a surgical facelift physically removes excess skin and repositions deeper tissue, with results that can last 10+ years. A PDO thread lift gives a more modest lift without surgery, with results lasting around a year. It's a great option for early to moderate sagging where surgery feels premature.
A local anesthetic is injected at each insertion point, so the procedure itself is fairly comfortable — most people feel pressure and tugging, not sharp pain. Soreness and tenderness for several days afterward is universal. Avoiding hard chewing, big facial expressions, and sleeping on your back for the first week helps.
Plan for 3–7 days of noticeable bruising and swelling. Some lumps or dimpling may appear initially as the threads settle — these usually resolve within 1–2 weeks. Many people schedule treatment 2–3 weeks before any major event so visible recovery is complete.
Most commonly the jowls, mid-face/cheeks, neck, brow, and nasolabial folds. Threads can also subtly lift the corners of the mouth and define the jawline. Each area is priced separately or as a combo package.
Rarely, but it's possible. Properly placed threads stay anchored; improperly placed threads can shift or become visible. This is why provider expertise and proper anatomy training matter significantly — choose someone who does threads regularly, not just dabbles.
