Patient has never had a facelift. This PDO procedure is minimally-invasive and involves no cutting of tissue.
Barbed PDO threads can reposition and lift the skin. 4 barbed PDO threads were placed in this Asian woman to lift in an upward and outer direction. The blue lines show the direction in which the threads were placed. Notice in subsequent before and after photo sets how the face appears more slender and triangular in the lower portion of the face. The nasolabial folds (NLF) and marionette areas were mildly improved as well.
