How Long Does a PDO Thread Lift Last?

Published by Leon Tcheupdjian

Want to lift and tighten skin your skin without without surgery or extensive downtime? Consider a PDO thread lift. PDO thread lifts typically last 1-3 years. Results can be maintained through regular touch-ups.

Often called “lunchtime lifts,” PDO thread lifts take less than an hour and require minimal recovery time. At the Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Chicago, we help patients achieve youthful skin through this versatile procedure that works for both the face and the body.

PDO Thread Lift Results: What to Expect

Here’s what you can expect after PDO threading:

  • Immediate visible lifting effects
  • Full results develop within 4-5 weeks
  • Natural thread dissolution occurs at 4-6 months
  • Stimulated collagen production for enhanced results
  • Optional maintenance treatments available after 6 months
