As a patient, it’s important to be prepared and informed about the PDO thread lifting procedure. Here’s a guide to help you understand the pre and post care recommendations for this cosmetic treatment.
Â
First of all, make sure that you do not have any contraindications for this procedure.
Â
Pre-procedure:
Â
Before undergoing the PDO thread lifting procedure, it’s crucial to make sure you are fully prepared. It is recommended to discontinue taking blood-thinning medications for a period of 7 days prior to the treatment to reduce the risk of ecchymoses and post-procedure swelling.
Â
Post-procedure:
Â
After the PDO threads have been placed, the treatment areas will be cleansed and an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment will be applied to the entry points. If there is any excessive bleeding, pressure should be applied to the area until it subsides. To ensure the proper healing and placement of the threads, it is recommended to minimize exercise, facial expressions, and other activities that could disrupt the threads for 7-10 days after the procedure. Antibiotic ointment does not need to be reapplied unless there is a high risk of infection or a history of previous infections. Similarly, oral antibiotics are not necessary unless indicated by your medical history. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid any energy-based devices on the treated area for 4-6 weeks after the procedure.
Â
By following these pre and post care recommendations, you can maximize the results of your PDO thread lifting procedure and achieve the youthful, lifted appearance you desire.
