#PDO BROW LIFT SKIN#
It is also helpful, especially if your skin tends to swell or bruise, to ice the area for 30 minutes 4-5 times a day for the first 5 days. Some thread lift patients might feel nausea associated with the after-effects of the anesthesia or the procedure itself and can sip small amounts of clear liquids until it passes. Blood-thinning products include Ibuprofen, Neurofen, and Naproxen/Naprogesic. All aspirin-based products should be avoided as well as cause unnecessary bleeding leading to unwanted complications and side effects. Before Treatment Care for a Thread LiftĪlthough it is always best to meet with your plastic surgeon to determine the best plan of action for your specific skin type, professionals agree that thread lift candidates should avoid all alcohol and discontinue smoking for at least a week before the procedure as these things will dehydrate the skin and interfere with the anesthetic. The minimally invasive procedure provides immediate results, but its greater purpose is to encourage new collagen production to stimulate long term results and restore a youthful appearance in the treated areas. Surgeons use a “cross-hatch” or “basket weave” pattern to achieve the desired lifting effect in the targeted areas.
This lifting and tightening are done by a plastic surgeon who inserts a needle into the skin, threading it bi-directionally through the soft tissues of the face, neck or body to grasp, lift and suspend the facial area. The goal of a thread lift is to reposition skin tissues, thus restoring youthful proportions and appearances to the face, neck, and body.
