PDO Thread Lift for Neck

  Hi and thank you for your question! PDO threads can be placed at many places, including the neck area to generate a lift. Given the nature of the procedure, the skill and experience of your physician is the key and you should ideally be doing this only with a doctor who has great experience in doing PDO thread lift procedures. Asking to see several before and after pictures of other patients treated by the doctor you are considering could help relieve your concerns. Complications might happen even at skilled hands, but the likelihood is much less. Common issues include bruising and swelling. The threads might be placed too deep or too low. There is also always the risk of infection or tissue injury but these risks are generally rare. I hope it helps and good luck!
