Many patients ask, “Can I exercise after a thread lift?” Yes, you can exercise after a thread lift procedure. However, for the first week or two, Dr. Garcia recommends only light exercise, such as walking. Avoid running, biking, weightlifting, or any other vigorous activity until your thread lift sites are healed.
Can I exercise after PDO thread lift? Following a thread lift, patients are able to resume the majority of their daily activities, but strenuous physical activity and exercise should be avoided for about one week, or until cleared by your provider. Patients should also minimize sun exposure and alcohol intake.
Although walking at a moderate pace is allowed, vigorous workouts such as running, biking, and weightlifting are prohibited. These exercises cause your heart rate and blood flow to increase, which may lead to swelling and prolong the healing process.
The reason we don't recommend exercising after any type of procedure is the increase in swelling. Any exercise or strenuous activity causes an increased heart rate, which increases blood flow and increases swelling. This in turn can prolong healing.
To ensure the best results, there are several things you must avoid after a PDO thread lift. These include sleeping on your stomach or side, wearing makeup, drinking alcohol, making extreme facial expressions, and receiving facials and facial massages.
Avoid any direct pressure to the face and area where the sutures were placed for one week after the procedure (for example, sleeping face down, excessive chewing, talking, yawning, smiling and other facial movements during the week after your procedure.
The PDO threads can be dissolved used heat based therapies, such as lasers and saunas. Minimal heat therapies such as LED Light Therapy and facials are safe to still have, and are recommended to get optimal results and longevity in the results.
Patients should also avoid flying for 72 hours after a thread lift, due to air pressure fluctuations which can elevate blood pressure and potentially cause internal splitting of the treated area that can slow healing.
PDO Thread Lift Complications do occur and dimpling, puckering and thread visibility are often the most troubling to patients and physicians. These complications can be applied to PDO, PCA and PLLA threads. Most providers choose PDO threads as they are dissolvable, therefore making this problem only temporary.
Complications: Although thread lift is considered minimally invasive, some sutures and cuts are required. There is still a risk of complications such as bruising, thread breakage, thread extrusion, fever, and infection.
Your skin produces collagen in response to the micro-injuries experienced during the thread lift. Your results will continue to improve over the course of two to three months as your skin produces extra collagen.
Glad your recovery is going well. I would advise you to wait the full three weeks before doing hot yoga again, as they do some inverted poses and Threadlifts yield the best results when the area is kept upright for the first three weeks following treatment.
Fortunately, because the threads placed under the skin during a thread lift are so small, the patient will not feel any of this happening. Most people cannot feel their sutures at all once the skin has healed around them.
Not only do the threads physically lift the skin, but they also stimulate the body's natural production of collagen, meaning thread lift results will continue to improve over time.
The PDO threads will remain underneath your skin for between 6 and 12 months. They're completely safe and biodegradable, which means they naturally break down over time.
In addition, you may have inflammation, bruising, soreness, or less ideal results if you lie on your belly or side during the first five nights after the procedure. If you usually lie on your side or belly or keep rolling over all night, try lying down on your back for several weeks before starting your procedure.
It should dissipate within 2 weeks 2. Lumps and/or bumps may temporarily occur at/or along treatment sit(s). These will resolve with time and are seldom a cause of concern 3. Asymmetry and irregularity of the tissues treated is common post treatment and usually resolves itself.
AVOID TOUCHING/PRESSURE/MASSAGE: Please avoid touching the area for 24 hours. Try to avoid direct pressure on your face such as sleeping “face down” for 1 week. No massage or treatment to the area for 1 month.
Your skin cells are stimulated to produce new collagen, and new blood vessels to improve skin microcirculation. At the same time, the PDO threads cause the fat tissue to contract, producing a skin tightening and facial slimming effect.
PDO Threads are not only ideal for lifting saggy eye and brow skin. They also trigger an increase of collagen to the area, which supports the newly lifted skin and promotes elasticity for a natural smoothed, tightened look.
In addition to your instantly younger look, PDO threads also provide lasting results by stimulating the production of collagen. Collagen is a structural protein responsible for your skin's youthful strength, volume, and resilience.
Many patients ask, “Can I exercise after a thread lift?” Yes, you can exercise after a thread lift procedure. However, for the first week or two, Dr. Garcia recommends only light exercise, such as walking. Avoid running, biking, weightlifting, or any other vigorous activity until your thread lift sites are healed.
You will probably see some initial firming and lifting right after your procedure, with your thread lift face results continuing to take shape over the next three weeks or so. As your body begins to naturally generate collagen, your tightened, lifted outcomes should continue to improve for the next few months.
