Book NowPDO THREAD LIFT: TARGET AREAS AND BENEFITS
Dr. Schwarzburg highlights the versatility of PDO thread lifts for facial rejuvenation and contouring, targeting sagging skin and stimulating collagen production for a tighter, more youthful look. Key areas for PDO thread lifting include:
- The Midface and Cheeks are prone to volume loss and skin sagging as we age. PDO threads are used to elevate loose skin in this area, restoring facial contours and zygomatic definition.
- Marionette lines are the folds that extend from the corners of the mouth down the chin. PDO threads elevate a downturned mouth and improve the appearance of marionette lines, fostering a more relaxed facial expression at rest.
- The jawline and neck are often accompanied by sagging skin as we age and our skin becomes more lax. A PDO thread neck lift elevates sagging skin around this region, sharpening your profile and diminishing the appearance of jowls.
- The PDO Fox Eyebrow Lift offers a gentle, strategic lift to low-sitting eyebrows, serving as a non-surgical alternative to traditional eyebrow lifts, enhancing the overall eye area and minimizing droopy eyelids.
- Thread-based Rhinoplasties can subtly elevate the tip of the nose, providing a refined lift. For those looking for a more significant alteration to the bridge of the nose, Dr. Schwarzburg often suggests liquid rhinoplasty as a highly effective alternative.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DOES PDO THREAD LIFT WORK?
PDO threads provide instant mechanical skin lifting and additionally stimulate collagen production for long-term skin tightening. The threads are inserted along the SMAS layer with the barbed hooks anchoring overlying skin to provide on-the-spot non-surgical facelift. As the polydioxanone material gradually dissolves, the body promotes collagen generation, enhancing skin firmness and maintaining the lift.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PDO THREAD LIFTS?
Ideal candidates for PDO thread lift are those looking to address mild to moderate skin sagging without undergoing surgery. According to Dr. Schwarzburg, suitable candidates are generally healthy individuals without any major health conditions that could affect recovery.
This procedure is perfect for anyone experiencing skin laxity due to aging, weight changes, or genetic factors and who desires effective results with minimal downtime.
Candidates need to have realistic expectations, understanding that PDO thread lifts offer significant enhancement and skin tightening, but are not a replacement for plastic surgery.
WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS TO PDO THREAD LIFT?
Certain conditions may prevent individuals from being suitable candidates for PDO thread lifts, as noted by Dr. Schwarzburg. These contraindications include active infections or inflammation in the area targeted for treatment, sensitivity or allergic reactions to polydioxanone or other materials used in the threads, and a tendency towards excessive or keloid scarring.
Additionally, those with substantial skin laxity seeking dramatic, surgical-like results may need to consider alternative treatments.
Furthermore, underlying health issues such as blood disorders or compromised immune systems could affect the procedure’s safety and effectiveness, making it crucial to evaluate these factors before proceeding with a PDO thread lift.
HOW SOON CAN I BOOK A PDO THREAD LIFT APPOINTMENT WITH DR. SCHWARZBURG?
Scheduling a PDO thread lift with Dr. Schwarzburg at Skinly Aesthetics is seamless and convenient, often allowing for multiple appointment options to suit your busy lifestyle.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR PDO THREAD LIFT?
Preparing for a PDO thread lift involves a few important steps to ensure the best possible results, as recommended by Dr. Schwarzburg.
To minimize bruising, it’s advised to stop taking blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen, a week before your scheduled procedure. Additionally, avoiding alcohol for 48 hours before the treatment can help decrease the risk of bleeding and swelling.
It’s important to plan your procedure around major events like weddings and vacations, ideally taking a break from social activities for about a week to allow any potential bruising or swelling to heal. Also, scheduling your thread lift outside of your menstrual period can further lessen the likelihood of bleeding.
WHAT IS THE PDO THREAD LIFT PROCESS?
The PDO thread lift process at Skinly Aesthetics is straightforward and efficient, beginning with a personalized consultation at Dr. Schwarzburg’s clinic in NYC. This initial step allows you to discuss your aesthetic goals and enables the development of a tailored treatment plan.
Pre-treatment photos are captured to document your journey and gauge the transformation. During the procedure, your skin is cleaned, and lidocaine is administered to ensure comfort.
Dr. Schwarzburg meticulously marks the areas for thread insertion to maximize the lift effect, typically using 10-18 threads depending on your specific needs. Following the procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and support, including an ice pack to aid in your recovery and optimize your results.
HOW LONG IS PDO THREAD LIFT PROCEDURE?
A PDO thread lift procedure with Dr. Schwarzburg typically takes about 45 to 70 minutes, depending on the area treated and the number of threads used. A lift using a few threads along the smile lines may only take 30 minutes, whereas a comprehensive facial lift involving multiple areas and threads could extend to 60 minutes or more.
ARE PDO THREADS SAFE?
The FDA has endorsed polydioxanone threads for their safety in addressing facial and neck laxity. Being biodegradable, PDO threads seamlessly integrate into your tissues, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions. However, the success and safety of PDO thread lift rely largely on the proficiency and knowledge of your provider. Dr. Schwarzburg being board-certified and highly experienced in PDO thread lifts, embodies the pinnacle of patient care and treatment safety.
WHAT IS THE AFTERCARE FOLLOWING PDO THREAD LIFT?
PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive, though there will be minor restrictions post-treatment. To ensure optimal healing and results, Dr. Schwarzburg advises his patients to follow these post-care instructions:
- For the first 24-48 hours, apply ice packs if needed for swelling, then switch to gentle hot compresses on day 2 to speed up healing.
- Use NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen or Aleve to minimize discomfort and swelling.
- Apply Betadine throughout day 1 to reduce the risk of infection.
- Avoid manipulating or massaging the treated areas for at least 1 week.
- Limit strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 1-2 weeks to prevent thread displacement and discomfort.
- Minimize dramatic facial movements, such as wide yawning or animated expressions, for the first 1-2 weeks.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the skin.
- Don’t sleep on your side for the first 48 hours and keep your head elevated to reduce swelling and thread displacement or tearing.
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME AFTER PDO THREAD LIFT?
PDO thread lifts are notable for their quick recovery time. While you can return to many daily tasks soon after, it’s recommended to avoid vigorous exercise and excessive facial movements for approximately two weeks following the procedure. Anticipate a brief period of social downtime, as swelling, bruising, and initial thread-related dimpling may occur.
WHAT ARE PDO THREAD LIFT RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS?
PDO thread lifts are a safer and less invasive alternative to traditional surgery, but it’s crucial to be aware of their potential risks and side effects. Dr. Schwarzburg notes that most side effects are minor and temporary, fading as the skin heals and adapts to the threads:
- Swelling is a common response to the procedure and usually resolves within a week.
- Bruising, caused by thread insertion into deep facial tissues, can last from a few days up to a week.
- Tenderness, sensations of tightness, along the areas in which the threads are placed are common, easing over time.
- Initial skin puckering and dimpling, particularly near the hairline and along the path of the threads, is normal and typically smoothes out within 1-2 weeks.
- Thread extrusion, while rare, may occur in some cases. Threads may become visible or shift, which can be easily fixed in a brief follow-up visit.
- Infections are very rare, and largely preventable by following Dr. Schwarzburg’s aftercare advice, and with antibiotics if needed.
IS PDO THREAD LIFT PAINFUL?
Patients typically experience little to no discomfort during PDO thread lifts, as Dr. Schwarzburg uses tumescent anesthesia with epinephrine to ensure a pain-free procedure. Although you may experience slight discomfort as the lidocaine is injected, the actual insertion of the threads is not painful. For individuals with heightened sensitivity, Dr. Schwarzburg offers Pro-Nox, a calming blend of oxygen and nitrous oxide, to further ease any discomfort.
WHEN WILL I SEE PDO THREAD LIFT RESULTS?
Immediate lifting effects can be seen right after the procedure, with continued improvements over the following 2-6 months as collagen production increases and the threads settle. Initial skin dimpling masks the final outcome for 2-6 weeks.
HOW LONG DO PDO THREAD LIFT RESULTS LAST?
The longevity of PDO thread lift results ranges from 6 months to 2 years. To maintain a youthful appearance, it’s often recommended to undergo annual maintenance treatments.
Dr. Schwarzburg points out that the duration of PDO thread lift effects is influenced by the number of threads, with more threads generally leading to longer-lasting outcomes. Typically, barbed threads provide the most enduring lift compared to twisted or smooth.
Additionally, the initial degree of skin laxity and the specific areas needing enhancement, directly impacts how long the results will last.
Age is another important consideration, as individuals with more mature skin may experience a faster reduction in the effects due to decreased collagen production, potentially requiring more frequent touch-ups.
WHAT IS THE COST OF A PDO THREAD LIFT IN NYC?
PDO thread lift cost is tailored to each patient’s specific goals and the number of threads utilized, with the price ranging from $1000 to $5000 per session.
While offering competitive rates, we prioritize transparency and quality, ensuring patients receive value for their aesthetic investment. Additionally, new patients benefit from a 20% discount, underscoring our commitment to accessible excellence and Dr. Schwarzburg’s belief in prioritizing professional expertise in these specialized treatments.
HOW MANY PDO THREADS DO I NEED?
The number of PDO threads required varies depending on the treatment area, degree of lift desired, and individual facial anatomy. On average, for a midface PDO thread lift, approximately 10-20 threads are used for optimal results. Dr. Schwarzburg provides personalized consultations to determine the optimal number of threads for achieving natural-looking results.
WILL I LOOK NATURAL AFTER MY PDO THREAD LIFT?
Definitely! Dr. Schwarzburg excels in delivering non-surgical PDO threading results that are natural-looking, subtly enhancing your features to avoid any hint of overcorrection. The aim is to gently lift your sagging skin while ensuring your facial expressions and contours remain distinctly yours. It’s essential to select a board-certified expert like Dr. Schwarzburg, whose mastery in thread lifting guarantees outcomes that celebrate your unique beauty.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PDO THREADS?
PDO thread lifts utilize different types of threads to achieve specific aesthetic goals.
Smooth threads, also known as Mono Threads, are designed to improve skin texture and can be used to address issues like acne scars by promoting collagen production.
Barbed threads feature sharp hooks that grip the skin, allowing for effective repositioning and lifting of sagging areas; these are typically inserted deeper to support and lift heavier skin.
Screw threads, or Twisted Threads, consist of two threads twisted together, targeting volume enhancement, particularly beneficial for areas requiring subtle augmentation, such as around the cheeks and nasolabial folds.
Each thread type is chosen based on the individual’s unique needs and desired outcomes, offering a versatile approach to facial rejuvenation.
WHAT PROCEDURES ENHANCE PDO THREAD LIFT RESULTS?
Combining PDO threads with Botox or Dysport will address muscle contractions and facial expressions that PDO threads alone might not smooth out. Additionally, fillers like Juvederm and Restylane provide additional volume and lift, while defining facial features for a comprehensive rejuvenation.
Augmenting PDO thread lifts with collagen-stimulating procedures can significantly improve skin texture and elasticity over time. Dr. Schwarzburg skillfully combines treatments such as the Fraxel Dual laser, advanced microneedling methods including Morpheus 8, Skin Boosters, and Pure Plasma. These modalities work synergistically to enhance and sustain the skin’s firmness and youthful glow following a PDO thread lift.
ARE PDO THREAD LIFTS COVERED BY INSURANCE?
Because PDO thread lifts are considered cosmetic procedures and not medically necessary, they are not covered by insurance. At Skinly Aesthetics we accept various payment options including Care Credit and Cherry, and accept FSA and HSA cards to make treatments more accessible!
