THREAD LIFT
NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY

Thread lifts, also known as PDO thread lifts, are a non-surgical facelift option that can help restore the shape and appearance of the face. These procedures are performed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ramtin Kassir, who is a highly experienced and respected practitioner in this field.

Thread lifts involve the use of fine, absorbable threads that are inserted into the skin using a thin needle. These threads are then used to lift and tighten sagging skin, as well as stimulate collagen production, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What are PDO Threads?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are fine, absorbable sutures made from a synthetic material called polydioxanone. These threads are used in medical and cosmetic procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin, as well as stimulate collagen production. They are commonly used in thread lifts, a non-surgical facelift procedure where the threads are inserted into the skin using a thin needle.

PDO threads have many advantages over traditional surgical facelift procedures. They are minimally invasive and do not require the use of general anesthesia. Patients can typically return to normal activities soon after the procedure, with minimal downtime. They also have a lower risk of complications compared to surgical facelift procedures.

PDO threads are also a versatile treatment option, as they can treat a wide range of issues, including wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of volume in the face, neck, and body. They can also be used to improve skin texture and tone.

It's important to note that PDO thread lifts are a temporary solution, as the threads are eventually absorbed by the body, the results last around 6-8 months. The procedure can be repeated if needed to maintain the desired results.

What are the advantages of PDO threads?

There are several advantages of using PDO threads for non-surgical facelift procedures:

  1. Minimally invasive: PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a thin needle, making the procedure minimally invasive and less painful than traditional surgical facelift procedures.

  2. Low downtime: Because the procedure is minimally invasive, patients can typically return to their normal activities soon after the procedure, with minimal downtime.

  3. Stimulation of collagen production: PDO threads can help to stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can improve skin elasticity, firmness and overall skin health.

  4. Customizable: PDO threads can be used to treat a wide range of issues, and can be customized to suit the unique needs and goals of each individual patient.

  5. Cost-effective: Compared to traditional surgical facelift procedures, PDO thread lifts are generally less expensive and have a lower risk of complications.

  6. Long-lasting: The results of PDO thread lifts can last up to 6-8 months, and the procedure can be repeated if needed to maintain the desired results.

  7. Safe and reliable: PDO threads are made from a synthetic material called polydioxanone which is commonly used in medical procedures, and have been proven to be safe and reliable.

It's important to note that PDO thread lifts are not suitable for everyone, and it's best to consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Ramtin Kassir to determine if this procedure is right for you.

What are the risks with PDO threads?

PDO thread lifts are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Ramtin Kassir. However, as with any medical procedure, there are certain risks associated with PDO thread placement. Some of the risks include:

  1. Infection: As with any procedure that involves needles, there is a small risk of infection. This risk can be minimized by following proper aftercare instructions and avoiding touching or manipulating the treated area.

  2. Bruising and swelling: Some bruising and swelling may occur around the treatment area. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days.

  3. Migration of the threads: In rare cases, the threads may migrate out of the intended area of treatment. This can be minimized by having the procedure performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Ramtin Kassir

  4. Allergic reaction to the thread material: Although rare, some people may have an allergic reaction to the material used in the threads.

  5. Scarring: although rare, scarring may occur if the needle enters too deep or if the needle is not properly inserted.

  6. Asymmetry: although rare, asymmetry may occur if the procedure is not done properly or if the practitioner does not have experience.

It's important to keep in mind that these risks can be minimized by having the procedure performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Ramtin Kassir, and by following proper aftercare instructions. It's also important to have a consultation before the procedure to understand the risks and benefits of the procedure.

    It's important to note that while thread lifts can provide a noticeable improvement in skin laxity, they are not a permanent solution and the results are temporary. The procedure can be repeated if needed to maintain the desired results.
