A Facial Thread Lift uses PDO Max Threads, dissolvable polydioxanone sutures, placed beneath the skin with a thin cannula. Once in position, the threads create a supportive scaffold that lifts sagging tissue right away. As your body gradually absorbs them over four to six months, they stimulate collagen around each thread path, so firmness continues to improve from within.
Threads are used for the jawline and jowls, midface and cheeks, brows, neck and chin, and the lines around the nose and mouth. At our Merrick clinic, your provider studies your facial structure, selects thread type and placement for each area and anchors them to lift where gravity has pulled most, keeping your expressions natural.

After cleansing and local anesthetic, your provider inserts the threads with a thin cannula and anchors them, a process that takes about 45 to 60 minutes; you may feel pressure and tugging. Mild swelling, tightness or bruising can appear, and most people resume normal activities within one to two days. Avoid wide yawning, facial massage and intense exercise as advised.
