While it’s not as invasive as other surgical procedures, it still requires a high level of expertise to get the best results. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you understand pdo brow lift and what it can do for your face.

A Pdo brow lift is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world. It is a procedure that helps to lift and reposition the eyebrows, which results in a more youthful appearance. The procedure is also known as a forehead lift or upper eyelid surgery.

The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from below the eyebrows, which results in lifting them higher on the face. This can also help to reduce drooping of the eyelids and improve their shape. The procedure often takes around two hours to complete and can be performed under local anesthetic or general anesthesia.

The medical-grade threads used during this treatment have been used in the medical world for years. Not only are they safe for use in surgical procedures, but they’re safe for use in this cosmetic treatment.

ALL ABOUT PDO THREADS

The threads used during this effective treatment are the stars of the show. They are the reason why the treatment exists and why it works. These threads are so effective because they are dissolvable, unlike the threads that were used in the early 90s during a similar treatment that didn’t create the same kind of results.

Today’s threads are not only superior to the ones used in the past because they dissolve but also because they can create patterns to achieve certain results. The patterns that are created allow for different types of dramatic lifting effects based on the patient’s goals.

AM I A CANDIDATE?

Some qualifiers will determine if you make a good candidate.

YOU ARE HEALTHY

The best candidates for a thread lift are healthy individuals who don’t suffer from certain diseases like diabetes or autoimmune disease. Pregnant and nursing women don’t qualify for this treatment due to safety precautions.

YOUR SKIN IS HEALTHY

Healthy skin is another qualifier that helps determine if you are right for this treatment. At the time of your appointment, your skin should be in good health. You shouldn’t have signs of irritation, inflammation, or sunburn.

YOU HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

When you walk into your appointment, your experience will be that much better if you have realistic expectations. This means that you know what to expect, you know what kind of results you will get, and you know that this treatment will make you look better but it won’t replicate a surgical facelift.
