The results of a neck lift with PDO threads are quite stunning, actually. As your body breaks down the threads over the next few weeks, you will start to see the effects from the procedure take form. You’ll start to notice that the sagging and loosening skin that you once had in your neck is now much tighter and firmer to your neck.
The neck is one area of the face that is very susceptible to showing the signs of aging. As we get older, skin can start to loosen and sag over time, and this can often be seen prominently in the neck.
Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with being able to keep that “baby face” look as they get older. It used to be that there was not much you could do about this sagging and loosening skin in the neck, unless you wanted to undergo invasive surgical procedures, of course.
Today, though, there are many options for correcting your neck problem area to give you back the youthful look and glow that you want. One of the top options is to get a neck lift using PDO threads.
This non-invasive procedure doesn’t require general anesthesia, can be done in about an hour, offers great results and has little to no downtime. Let’s take a look at what a neck lift with PDO threads entails, and what the before and after results are.
What’s a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is the colloquial term for a lower thydictomy or platysmaplasty. The goal of the procedure is to help you reduce the signs of aging and, in the process, improve how your neck and chin look.
The surgical version of this procedure would tighten the skin and also removes some loose skin and extra fat, if necessary, from the neck area. The procedure helps to reduce excess fat in the lower area of your face, reduces or eliminates a “double chin,” reduces or eliminates the appearance of jowls and much more.
A surgical neck lift, though, comes with many downsides. In addition to the invasive aspect of surgery, most people who get this procedure done will need to wear a neck brace for two weeks following the procedure, with a total recovery time as long as six weeks.
Not only that, but surgical options can be quite expensive.
How are PDO Threads Used for a Neck Lift?
Luckily, there are non-invasive options for a neck lift that work really well. The leading alternative is to use PDO threads.
These thin dissolvable sutures are inserted into your skin via a preloaded canula. There are barbs on the end of them, which can grab onto parts of your skin and lift them up, addressing sagging and loosening skin in the process.
Before the PDO threads are inserted, your provider will just use local numbing agents to make sure you’re comfortable. From start to finish, the procedure will take about an hour.
In most cases, you’ll be able to resume all of your normal day-to-day activities as soon as you leave the office. You’ll have some instructions on what to avoid doing for a few weeks — such as getting facial massages, taking certain medications and doing any deep facial cleansing or skin care.
Over time, your body will break down the PDO threads naturally. In the process of doing so, your body will produce extra collagen in the area, which not only helps to make the results longer-lasting, but also makes your skin more elastic, plump and youthful looking.
What Does a Neck Lift Before and After Look Like with PDO Threads?
The results of a neck lift with PDO threads are quite stunning, actually.
As your body breaks down the threads over the next few weeks, you will start to see the effects from the procedure take form. You’ll start to notice that the sagging and loosening skin that you once had in your neck is now much tighter and firmer to your neck.
You’ll also see that your skin has a certain “glow” to it in the area, and it looks smoother and shinier — in a good way. This comes from the extra collagen that your body is producing.
Without the use of makeup or other skincare products, your skin will look like it did when you were younger, which will give you a radiant glow all over.
One of the best parts about a neck lift with PDO threads is that the results will typically last between 12 to 18 months, though every patient is different. In addition, you can get the procedure repeated so that you can ensure your neck maintains the look that you want.
