Lift sagging skin, sharpen your jawline, and restore youthful definition with minimal downtime. Expert care from a board-certified surgeon.
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin without the need for surgery. Using biocompatible, dissolvable sutures made of polydioxanone, this procedure creates an immediate lifting effect while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for long term skin rejuvenation.
As we age, loss of skin elasticity and collagen leads to sagging around the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Traditional facelifts address these concerns but require significant downtime. A PDO thread lift offers an effective alternative for those seeking noticeable improvement with a quick recovery period. The procedure uses FDA-approved materials that have been safely used in medical applications for decades.
The threads work in two ways. First, they provide an immediate mechanical lift by anchoring and repositioning descended tissue. Second, they trigger a healing response that stimulates collagen and elastin production over the following months, improving skin texture, firmness, and elasticity naturally.
Whether you want to enhance your jawline definition, reduce jowls, or achieve a more youthful appearance, thread lifting delivers results that look natural and improve over time. Many patients combine this treatment with injectables for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
See visible improvement in facial contours right after your procedure, with continued enhancement over the following months.
Most patients return to work and daily activities within days, not weeks. Often called the “lunchtime facelift” for good reason.
The threads trigger natural collagen production, improving skin quality and firmness for months after the procedure.
No general anesthesia required. Performed under local anesthesia with FDA-approved, biocompatible materials that dissolve naturally.
Achieve subtle, believable improvement that enhances your appearance without looking “worked on” or overdone.
Results typically last 12 to 18 months, with collagen benefits continuing even after threads dissolve.

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.

Check out this incredible before and after of our gorgeous patient 6 months following her Female HD Liposculpture! ⏳
While these results are already stunning, here is a little insider secret: she’s not even at her final result yet! Healing from high-definition liposculpture is a journey. Over the next few months, residual swelling will continue to subside, and any temporary skin texture changes or minor discoloration will fully resolve. As the tissues settle, her skin will keep tightening to reveal even more crisp, beautifully defined athletic contours.
We love seeing our patients blossom through their recovery. Patience pays off, and her body will only continue to lean out and lock in over the coming months!

A journey that began with dedication, completed with precision. ✨
This patient worked tirelessly to lose weight, only to be left with the final hurdle: skin laxity that diet and exercise couldn`t touch. A circumferential lift was performed to remove the excess tissue "belt" around the entire midsection.
Today, at 12 months post-op, the transformation is complete. It’s not just about a flatter silhouette; it’s about a body that finally matches the strength and hard work they put in. The confidence? Unstoppable. 🏔️
