A common question that arises when preparing for a facial thread lift is what are the common side effects and complications of the procedure. There are several possible side effects, and some are more severe than others. The following article will discuss the most common problems that patients might experience. We'll be covering infections, skin depigmentation, and skin dimpling. It will also discuss the potential risks of PDO threads. Make sure you understand all the possible risks before you undergo the procedure.
Infections
Although infection following facial threadlift is rare, it can be serious and may require antibiotics. While the average recovery time for thread lifts is less than one week, some people will experience a lump and bruise following the procedure. The doctor will likely prescribe medication to relieve the pain, as well as prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infection. Patients should not do strenuous activities or apply makeup to the treatment area. Warm baths or showers should be avoided for at most one week.
Hyperpigmentation
A facial threadlift can cause complications. Although it is common for thread lift patients, they should expect to experience some stinging and pulling sensations during the recovery period. Avoid alcohol and any supplements, including Chinese medicine. Patients should avoid vigorous exercise, steam rooms, or saunas for at the very least seven days. For two weeks, patients should avoid massaging or rubbing the area.
Infections in PDO threads
PDO thread infections following a facial-threadlift have been reported. These threads made from polycaprolactone or poly-llactic acid can be difficult for patients to remove. They are difficult to apply because of their fragile nature. Be careful when choosing the area to apply the threads. There are also potential risks of persistent deformities or delayed treatment.
Skin dimpling
The most common side effect of a facial thread lift is skin dimpling. This problem can occur as soon as the procedure is completed or up to 14 days later. The most vulnerable areas are the cheeks and lateral sides, as well as the middle of the face. Before performing a procedure called a thread lift, the surgeon must have an understanding of the anatomy of the face as well as the location and extent of the dimpling.
Cost of facial thread lifting
Facelifts can be costly but they are worth it if you don't have to go under the knife. Facial thread lifting is not permanent and the threads will disintegrate in about six months. However, the results of a facial thread lift will not disappear for at least six months. They will still be visible for one to three decades. Thread lifts can also be combined with other anti-aging procedures, such as dermal fillers, to enhance the effect. The only thing that will give you dramatic results is a facial needle lift. A face lift procedure will lift only a few millimeters.
