Loose, sagging skin in the eye area can leave you looking older and constantly tired, even if you really aren’t! Traditionally, this area is addressed using a procedure known as a blepharoplasty.

But what if you don’t want to go under the knife? You’re in luck!

If you want to fix droopy upper eyelids without surgery, a PDO thread lift could be just what you need.

Here’s what you need to know about this amazing procedure.

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

This procedure uses threads made of a compound called polydioxanone. This material has been used for surgical sutures because they’re safe and dissolvable.

PDO threads are ultra-thin, absorbable threads that are inserted into the skin to provide a lifting effect. They also stimulate collagen production, which offers long-term tightening.

There are many different types of threads, including smooth, barbed, and screw-shaped. For an upper eyelid, delicate threads are used to gently lift the skin around the eyelid and brow area.

Why PDO Threads Are the Best for Sagging Eyelids

There are many reasons why non-surgical eyelid lifts have become the go-to option. Some of the top benefits include:

• Results are natural-looking. If you want subtle and natural results, this is the procedure for you. You won’t look like you’ve had work done. Instead, you’ll simply look refreshed and more rested than usual.

• They’re minimally invasive. This procedure doesn’t require any incisions or stitches. Instead, a small needle or cannula is used to place the thread. This causes much less trauma to the skin and has a lower risk of complications.

• It’s quick and easy. Most thread lifts take 30 to 45 minutes. The best part is that you can resume your normal activities almost immediately. While you may experience mild bruising or swelling, these side effects subside within a matter of days.

When Will I See Results?

You don’t have to wait weeks to see the effects of a PDO thread lift. Amazingly you’ll see the lifting effect almost immediately.

However, final results develop gradually, especially as swelling goes away and your body begins to produce more collagen.

You should expect to see optimal results within two to four weeks after the procedure.

How Long Do PDO Thread Lift Results Last?

Threads naturally dissolve in the skin within six to nine months. Thankfully, the effects last much longer.

The new collagen that your body produces extends your lifted look for up to twelve months, sometimes longer, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle.

To maintain your youthful appearance, your provider will likely recommend one or two touch-up treatments throughout the year.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

Before a PDO eyelid thread lift, the area will be numbed to keep you comfortable. Then using a thin needle or cannula, the thread is inserted into the skin to lift the upper lid and brow area.

Once the threads are in place, they’re gently pulled to create a lifting effect.

After treatment you may experience mild bruising, swelling, and tenderness at insertion points. These effects go away within a few days.

For best results, be sure to follow your provider’s post-treatment care instructions. This often includes avoiding strenuous exercise and facial massages.
