It happens to everyone at some point. Perhaps you are facing a quagmire of decisions of whether or not you want plastic surgery or if you can hold off for a few years. The awkward phase of being too young for this or too old for that, but there is a point where action needs to be taken. Astra Plastic Surgery offers a non-surgical facelift alternative called the PDO Thread Lift. Atlanta area residents can enjoy the results of reduced fine lines and wrinkles, no incisions or scarring, no downtime, and long-lasting results.
Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lift uses dissolvable, biodegradable sutures to tighten and lift your skin. The 45-minute procedure offers no incisions and zero downtime, making the PDO Thread Lift an excellent alternative to a traditional facelift.
PDO Thread lift is designed to serve two purposes - direct skin tightening and collagen formation. Once the PDO Thread lifts reposition your underlying tissues, you will see an immediate lift in reducing fine lines. Then as the PDO threads absorb into the body, they facilitate natural collagen stimulation.
How do I know if the PDO Thread is right for me? Dr. Killingsworth will assess your facial concerns and determine your suitability for the PDO Thread lift. Ideal patients are male or female between 30 and 50 years old because PDO thread lifts are designed to treat moderate signs of aging, such as:

The PDO Thread lift in Atlanta is an outpatient treatment. You will be given a local anesthetic, so it’s important to have someone drive you home.
Your treatment may take about 45 to 90 minutes but depends on the number of threads used. Once the PDO thread entry points are marked on your face, the threads are inserted and positioned accordingly. Once the threads are secured, the needles are removed.
Most Atlanta PDO thread lift patients return to their daily activities the next day.
Since the PDO Thread procedure is minimally invasive, there is no downtime, and patients can immediately return to work. Some patients experience minor swelling, inflammation, and bruising, but these side effects resolve within five to seven days.
A significant benefit of the PDO Thread lift is the immediate and apparent results. As the PDO threads begin to dissolve, your body begins producing collagen with continuously improved results in four to six weeks. Depending on the type of PDO thread being used, your results may last six months to one year.
