Mini Butt Lift | PDO Threads
What is a PDO Butt Lift?
PDO (polydioxanone) thread butt lifts are one of the most effective ways to lift loose skin without surgery or downtime. PDO threads are similar to surgical sutures that stimulate collagen synthesis when placed under the skin. The threads act as a scaffold holding the skin in place against the effects of gravity. The mesh of threads help shape the skin/face by lifting and supporting sagging structures to recontour your body.
When PDO threads are applied to the buttock, the skin is lifted to help reduce the appearance of sagging and laxity. When these lifting threads are used in conjunction with volumizing threads and our post treatment protocol results that improve your silloutte can definitely be noticed.
PDO threads are completely invisible and absorbable within 4-6 months, but the structural support can last from 8-24 months.

How it Works
After an initial consult for eligibility of procedure, a skin assessment is performed. The skin is than cleansed and vector points are marked on the buttock for optimal thread placement.
Once the area is anesthetized for comfort, threads are placed under the skin following the line of the marked vectors. After all the threads are placed, the overlying skin is massaged to activate and lock all the threads in place. Symmetry of the procedure is reevaluated before the suspended threads are cut and hidden underneath the skin.
Post procedural instructions are discussed with patient follow-up scheduled at a 2 week period.
What to Expect
Session time can vary from 45-60 minutes. Post-treatment their is no downtime or scars. Minimal pain can be expected with aching to the area for up to one week post procedures.
Fillers and relaxants can be performed on same day. All laser services, skin resurfacing, body contouring, and fat busting treatments should be deferred for 4-6 weeks.
One session is recommended, however, during the two week follow-up additional threads can be placed for desired results. Post-treatment, routine skincare regimen can be resumed along with makeup.
