Formation is recognized for men’s aesthetic surgery in Tampa. Thread lifts for men require distinct technique to maintain masculine facial structure and natural angles.
What Is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO thread lift for men is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using dissolvable polydioxanone sutures. Unlike traditional facelifts, this treatment requires no incisions, minimal downtime, and delivers both immediate lifting and progressive skin improvement.
At Formation, we use PDO threads to address laxity under the chin, along the jawline, and in the neck area. Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology confirms that PDO threads effectively stimulate collagen synthesis while providing mechanical lift.
Beyond the initial lifting, PDO threads trigger your body’s natural healing response. According to a clinical study on PDO thread mechanisms, the threads create controlled micro-injuries that activate fibroblasts and enhance tissue regeneration.
Immediate skin lifting and tightening
Stimulates natural collagen production
Results lasting 1 to 2 years

“By addressing laxity under my chin, Dr. Grandhige restored a sharp, youthful profile without invasive surgery. The results look completely natural. People comment that I look more rested and energized without realizing I had any procedure done.”

Facial Harmonization Step 2
It takes more than one treatment and often more than one treatment session to accomplish facial harmony and balance.
Here’s a look at step 2 in the journey for our surgical coordinator Hanna.
She wanted to address asymmetry and fullness in the lower face. To accomplish this we’ve started with Botox in the masseter to slim the jaw, and create a more feminine, heart shaped face. Now for step 2 we’re placing PDO lifting threads to enhance definition around the jawline without adding volume.

The power of a profile transformation. 🔥
For this patient, we combined PDO Lifting Threads and advanced chin/jawline filler to completely redefine his lower face. By strategically lifting the mid-to-lower face and sculpting the jaw, we didn’t just enhance one feature—we elevated his entire facial appearance.
An incredible, natural-looking result that brings balance and confidence from every angle.
Note: Minor bunching or puckering is completely normal immediately following a PDO thread lift. The slight bunching visible in the after photo will fully subside on its own over the next 2-4 weeks as the threads settle.
