When we age, our bodies change in a number of ways. As we start to produce less collagen, our skin can begin to lose its laxity and strength, which can cause skin to sag or droop.
Other factors also play a part in aging, of course, including exposure to sun, facial movements, past injuries, lifestyle and genetics. All of this can lead to us not being as happy with our appearance as we once were.
Today, there’s a minimally-invasive way to address some of these signs of aging. Called PDO threads, this amazing alternative to traditional surgical facelifts can help correct many of the issues we have as we start to age, including sagging and drooping skin.
Below, we’ll discuss how to address eye symmetry with PDO threads.
- Eye asymmetry increases with age due to collagen loss, muscle movement, and skin laxity.
- PDO threads offer a non-surgical solution to lifting sagging skin and restoring facial symmetry.
- Barbed threads provide an immediate lift, while collagen stimulation ensures long-term improvements.
- PDO thread treatments result in natural-looking enhancements without the downtime of surgery.
- Choosing FDA-cleared threads, like those from V Soft Lift, ensures safety and optimal results.
As we age, sagging and drooping skin, or fine lines and wrinkles, can make it look like our eyes are no longer symmetrical. Luckily, PDO threads can address this and give us back the youthful look we once had.

Why Do Our Eyes Become Asymmetrical?
As mentioned above, there are a number of factors that can cause our eyes to look asymmetrical as we age. Part of this is just due to the natural aging process.
As we get older, our bodies start to produce less collagen, which can cause skin to sag or droop. When the skin isn’t as strong as it used to be, it will start to droop down, which can make it look like our eyes are no longer symmetrical.
Years of squinting, smiling and other facial movements can also cause fine lines and wrinkles to form, and this doesn’t always happen equally on both sides of our face.
The degree to which this happens differs greatly from one person to the next, but something can be done to improve it before it gets too bad.
When you have a consultation visit with the practitioner you choose, a specific treatment plan and approach will be designed that will address your specific skin type and issues you are facing.
How Do PDO Threads Address Eye Symmetry?
PDO threads work in two ways to address eye symmetry.
The first is an immediate lifting effect that can be achieved with barbed threads. These threads have tiny barbs on the end of them that can grab onto parts of your underlying skin and tissue when inserted into your face.
Your practitioner will position them in just the right spot to physically lift your skin up, so that they can address the drooping or sagging that is causing your eyes to no longer be symmetrical. Once the PDO threads are in the right place, the practitioner will snip off the excess and remove the cannula that was used to insert them into your face.
As soon as you leave the office, you will see some positive lifting effects from the procedure. Over the next few months, though, the results will continue to get better as your body goes to work.
Your body will recognize the foreign object in your face and break it down using natural healing processes. Part of this includes producing extra collagen in the area, which, as we’ve discussed before, is something that your body has likely stopped producing at a high rate as you get older.
This collagen will break down and dissolve the PDO threads slowly over time, which will help the lifting results of the treatment look even better.
In addition, the collagen will improve the elasticity, firmness and plumpness of your skin, which will give you a more youthful look and directly address eye symmetry.
Because of how they work, and how the body reacts to them, PDO thread treatments often produce very natural-looking results. This is one of the biggest benefits of this minimally-invasive procedure.
| Cause of Eye Asymmetry | How PDO Threads Address It |
|---|---|
| Loss of collagen | Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin |
| Drooping skin around eyes | Immediate lift with barbed threads for symmetry |
| Facial muscle imbalance | Repositions skin evenly across both eyes |
| Fine lines and wrinkles | Improves skin elasticity and plumpness |
