Puckering is a very common side effect that lasts up to 2 days or 2 weeks after the procedure as PDO threads will dissolve into the skin after it's stitched in. Rest and minimal facial movement after the procedure will help ease puckering.
You may feel bruised over the treatment area for a few days and there may be some swelling and puckering over the skin. This is normal after such a procedure and will almost always diminish and disappear within 7-14 days.
By using a microcannula, we can undermine around the thread to loosen and help rid the pucker created by the thread. Swelling may occur with this minimally invasive procedure but will heal eventually.
Thread lifts do have dimples and indentations as documented complications. Most often, the unevenness will settle over 2-6 weeks. However, if the threads were made of permanent material (nylon), then the surface dimples maybe last longer.
The most common complications of facial thread lifting are, in the following order, skin dimpling, contour irregularity, visible threads, and thread extrusion.
Some dimpling may also occur, or in other words, the skin may not appear as smooth as expected to be immediately following treatment, which is completely normal and will improve on its own in that 2-3 weeks timeframe.
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.
Thread Lift Puckering is when a thread is pulling the skin and dimples become apparent. This is quite common and not to be overly concerned about as it will settle quickly. PDO Thread Lift puckering, dimpling and visibility of threads are often the most troubling to patients and practitioners.
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.
Facial Asymmetry: Facial asymmetry is another possible complication that can arise from the performing of thread lift.
To get rid of puckering 1) wet your fabric (either soak it in lukewarm water, soapy if you need to wash it and erase some marks, for example, or use a water spray) and 2) stretch it thoroughly. There are many ways to stretch it. You can pin it to a corkboard if you have one.
Excess thread tension
This is a common cause of stitch and seam puckering. If you have adjusted the tension settings on your sewing machine incorrectly it will prevent enough thread getting to the stitch. The thread will stretch to compensate as you stitch. This results in puckering and crumpling.
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.
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. A laser probably won't go deep enough because they are deep to the dermis.
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.
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.
If you're experiencing problems with your thread lift procedure or do not like the cosmetic results overall, they can be reversed using minor surgical procedures performed at Cair plastic surgery.
Answer: Threads
This can often be corrected with a needle at the insertion point and appropriate pressure to better retract the thread, or even cut more off the end of the thread if necessary.
The symptoms of migration of threads can occur several weeks after the procedure and in general can be caused but the use of threads without cog, incorrect cutting of bi-directional cog threads and breakage of threads. often, patients complain that the threads have moved or that they feel like it is likely to come out.
You may apply ice to the treatment area for about 5-10 min every 30 min the same night to minimize any chance of swelling or bruising the following day.
Usually, the threads last for 18 months, but they can be dissolved faster with heat-based therapy if necessary.
Experiencing slight discomfort in the first two days after the procedure is normal, it will gradually reduce. 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.
Is dimpleplasty permanent? Dimpleplasty results should be permanent. However, if your provider uses only a simple suture rather than removing some fat and tissue, the scar tissue that creates the dimples won't be sufficient, and results can fade in as little as four months.
