PDO THREAD LIFT

Here at Mississippi Institute of Weight Loss & Gulf Coast Aesthetics, PDO thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that elevates and firms sagging facial skin. A facial thread lift is often a perfect choice for people who are not ready for a surgical facelift but would still like to lessen the signs of maturing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Dr. Balder uses PDO threads, also known as polydioxanone threads, which are like specially molded medical-grade sutures of sort. The area of patient's concern is locally numbed with lidocaine and these are individually delivered through the subdermal location via a tiny blunt, non traumatic sterile cannula to encourage tighten-lift sagging or loose skin and furrow lines and collagen development and boost loose skin. Typically, these procedures take around 30-40 minutes per area.  Sometimes labeled a "lunchtime lift," a PDO thread lift doesn't require a lengthy rehabilitation period. Bruising can occur.  Arnica is suggested 3 days before and 3 days after the procedure to decrease this possibility.  We use both lifting threads and collagen producing threads.  Please know that Dr Balder is a national trainer for AMI and has trained scores of MDs, DOs, NPs, RNs to successfully perform these procedures across the country.  These procedures are most commonly preformed on the face and neck, but have excellent applications across the body to include the chest (declochet), breast, abdomen, arms, and legs.  Call for a consultation at our office in Gulfport, MS to see if a thread lift would be an ideal aesthetic solution to meet your goals. We can offer consultations and assessments in person or via zoom.
