At Elysian Plastic Surgery, we offer PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lifts for patients seeking a non-surgical solution to sagging skin and early signs of facial aging. PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed under the skin to lift and reposition tissues while also stimulating collagen production for ongoing improvement in skin firmness and elasticity.
This minimally invasive procedure can smooth, lift, and contour the face, jawline, neck, and select body areas — with results that develop instantly and continue to improve over time.
What PDO Threads Can Treat
- Mild to moderate facial sagging
- Early jowls along the jawline
- Sagging brows or midface
- Neck laxity
- Loose skin on body areas (arms, abdomen, knees)
Benefits of PDO Threads at Elysian
- Immediate lifting with no surgical incisions
- Gradual collagen stimulation for long-lasting results
- Minimal downtime — most patients resume activities within 1–2 days
- Customizable to specific facial zones or full-face treatment
- Works well as a bridge for those not yet ready for facelift surgery
How It Works
PDO threads are placed under the skin through tiny entry points using a fine cannula or needle. Once positioned, the threads provide a mechanical lift, and over the next several months, they encourage your body to produce new collagen around the thread structure. The threads dissolve naturally within 6–8 months, but the collagen framework they create can maintain results for 12–18 months or more.
At Elysian, PDO Thread Lifts are performed with precision, artistic judgment, and an understanding of how skin quality, facial anatomy, and lift mechanics work together to create a natural, balanced rejuvenation.
