Common side effects and complications that can occur during a facial threadlift procedure are a frequent question. There are many possible side effect, but some are more severe than others. The following article will discuss the most common problems that patients might experience. We will be discussing infections, skin dimpling and hyperpigmentation. The article will also address the possible risks associated with PDO threads. It is important to understand the potential dangers before you consent to this procedure.
Infections
Although infections following facial thread lifts are rare, they can be very painful and require antibiotics. Thread lift recovery takes less than a month, but some people may feel a lump or bruise. The doctor will likely prescribe medication to relieve the pain, as well as prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infection. Patients should avoid strenuous activity and apply makeup to the area. For at least one full week, you should avoid taking a hot bath or shower.
Hyperpigmentation
Post-operative complications can arise from a facial threadlift. It is common for patients who have undergone threadlifts to feel a stinging or pulling sensation. However, this should be expected during recovery. You should avoid alcohol, supplements, and Chinese medicine. Patients are advised to avoid saunas and steam rooms for at least seven consecutive days. Patients should also avoid rubbing and massaging the treated area for two weeks.
Infections from PDO threads
PDO threads have been infected after a facial hair-thread lift. These threads are made of poly-l-lactic and polycaprolactone and can be difficult to get rid of. Because of their delicate nature, these threads can be difficult to apply. It is important that you choose the right areas to apply the threads. There are also risks associated with delayed treatment and persistent deformities.
Skin dimpling
Skin dimpling is the most common side effect after a facial threadlift. This can happen immediately after the procedure, or up to 14 days later. The areas most likely to be affected are the cheeks, lateral side, and middle of the face. Before performing a threadlift, a surgeon should have a good understanding of the anatomy and location of the dimpling regions.
Cost of facial Thread Lift
While a facelift is expensive, it's worth it to avoid the risks and costs associated with surgery. A facial threadlift is non-permanent. The threads will eventually dissolve within six months. The results can be seen for up to three years. You can combine thread lifts with other anti-aging treatments, such as dermal Fillers, to increase the effect. The results of a facial threadlift are not dramatic, since a facelift procedure will only lift about a few millimeters.
