What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable sutures introduced beneath the skin to achieve two effects:

  1. Instant lift: mechanically repositioning sagging tissue.
  2. Collagen stimulation: encouraging your skin to rebuild its own support over time.

These threads have been used safely in medicine for decades. Barbed PDO threads are FDA-cleared for mid-face suspension, which elevates the cheeks and softens nasolabial folds.

What Areas Are Treated With PDO Threads

Under the care of Dr. Schwarzburg, PDO threads can be used to lift and support areas where skin naturally begins to loosen, restoring definition and balance to the face and neck. They are especially effective for:

  • Jawline & jowls
  • Cheeks & midface
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines
  • Chin and lower face contour
  • Brows & temples
  • Neck laxity

PDO threads can be performed alone or in combination with dermal fillers, Botox, or Ellacor tightening for a comprehensive approach.

Before & After PDO Thread Lift

PDO threads deliver visible results that look natural both in person and on camera.

  • Before: early jowls, soft jawline, sagging cheeks, and deepening folds.
  • After: elevated midface, sharper jawline, smoother folds, and an overall refreshed appearance.

Results are immediate and continue to improve as collagen strengthens skin structure over the following months.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

According to Dr. Dmitriy Schwarzburg, PDO threads are best suited for men and women with mild to moderate skin laxity who want visible improvement without undergoing invasive surgery. They are most effective for patients in their 30s to 60s, serving as a bridge between injectables and a surgical facelift.

What to Expect During PDO Treatment With Dr. Schwarzburg

Every PDO thread lift at Skinly Aesthetics is performed personally by Dr. Schwarzburg, ensuring precision and patient comfort from start to finish. Here’s what the process looks like:

  • Consultation & mapping: Dr. Schwarzburg evaluates your anatomy, discusses goals, and designs the treatment plan.
  • Local anesthesia: Target areas are numbed to make the procedure comfortable.
  • Thread placement: Using fine cannulas, PDO threads are placed along carefully mapped vectors and adjusted for optimal lift.
  • Immediate lift & refinement: Threads are secured, contours are smoothed, and symmetry is confirmed.
  • Total treatment time: The full PDO thread lift with Dr. Schwarzburg takes about 45–70 minutes.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients experience minimal downtime. Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, or tenderness. To protect your results:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and dental work for 1–2 weeks.
  • Sleep on your back with your head elevated for several nights.
  • Avoid facial massages or aggressive movements until fully healed.

Results & Longevity

PDO threads produce immediate lift and definition with progressive tightening over the next 2–3 months. Results typically last 9–18 months, with annual maintenance extending benefits further.

Safety & Risks

When performed by an experienced physician, PDO thread lifts are safe and well tolerated. Possible side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, or temporary dimpling. Rare risks, such as thread extrusion or infection, are minimized through expert technique and sterile protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a PDO thread lift cost in NYC?

Most treatments range between $1,500 and $6,000, depending on the number of threads used, the areas treated, and the complexity of the procedure.

Are PDO threads FDA-approved?

PDO threads are FDA-approved for mid-face suspension to elevate the cheeks and reduce nasolabial folds.

How long do PDO thread lift results last?

Most patients enjoy results for 9–18 months, depending on skin quality and lifestyle. Collagen formation extends the benefit beyond the lifetime of the threads.

How many threads will I need?

It varies. Some patients need only a few threads per side, while others require 10-12 threads for a comprehensive lift.

Does the procedure hurt?

Local anesthesia keeps discomfort minimal. Patients typically describe a sensation of pressure or tugging, not pain.

What is recovery like?

Downtime is short — most return to normal activity within a day or two. Mild swelling or bruising is common and resolves quickly.

Can PDO threads replace a facelift?

No. A surgical facelift remains the gold standard for advanced laxity. PDO threads are best for mild to moderate sagging.

What’s the difference between PDO threads and fillers?

Threads lift; dermal fillers add volume. They are often combined for balanced rejuvenation.

Are there risks or side effects?

Possible temporary effects include swelling, dimpling, or tenderness. Rare risks like extrusion or infection are minimized with proper technique.

When will I see results?

Immediately, with continued improvement over 2–3 months as collagen forms.

Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?

Yes – they pair well with Botox, dermal fillers, RF microneedling, or Ellacor for comprehensive results.

When should I do PDO threads?

Threads are best for patients in their 30s to 60s. Too early, and you may not need them; too late, and surgery may be more effective.

Can I feel the threads?

In most cases, no. Occasionally, patients with thinner skin may feel a faint ridge temporarily, which softens as healing progresses.

How should I sleep after a thread lift?

On your back, with your head slightly elevated, for 1-3 nights.

What happens when threads dissolve?

They are absorbed naturally, while collagen support remains.
