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.
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.
Your skin fully absorbs the thread within 4 to 6 months while your own collagen builds around the thread. This procedure lifts and shapes without leaving you any scar tissue.
PDO threads can be difficult to remove due their fragility. The possible need for surgical removal of the threads should be considered when selecting areas for application.
Answer: Novathreads ( PDO Thread ) lifting procedure
While there is no true risk to doing the procedure before the weight loss, you will most likely need to return to your doctor for additional treatments after the weight loss in order to see results.
Can PDO Threads break? Thread breakage is a potential side effect. The threads may break due to excess facial movement, rubbing the skin, or exposure to moisture. When it does happen, breakage tends to be near the ends near the incision point.
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.
How can you tell if a PDO thread broke? You may feel the puncture points used to insert the threads for a few weeks as they heal. There may also be a feeling of tightness from the pulling of the skin. In some cases, the threads can migrate or move.
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.
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.
Answer: PDO Threads can be dissolved with RF (Radiofrequency) Heat will cause the PDO threads to dissolve. A RF device will heat the threads enough to degrade 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.
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.
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.
Try keeping your head elevated for a week. Don't pull your facial skin, massage, scrub or exfoliate the skin for at least three weeks. You are also not supposed to wash or touch your face for at least 12 hours.
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.
You can expect a complete recovery from your thread lift in no more than two weeks. It's important to get advice from your doctor on what activities to avoid as the tissue heals; for example, we recommend you avoid vigorous exercise and facial massage.
The PDO threads remain under the skin until they eventually dissolve, spurring the body to naturally produce more collagen to tighten the skin.
A PDO thread lift is a procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to rejuvenate and lift sagging skin. It's a cheaper and faster alternative to facelift surgery, but the results don't last as long and aren't as dramatic. Recovery from the procedure is minimal and it's often possible to return to work the same day.
On average, patients require between 2 – 4 threads on each side of the face for a mid-face thread lift. An additional 2 – 4 threads may be needed for the lower face and/or neck.
PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. They lift the loose and sagging muscles and tissues of the face improving the overall texture of the skin. It also helps in decreasing the fat production and slimming the jawline, tightening it and giving a more subtle and contoured look.
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.
