Dr Victoria Manning and Dr Charlotte Woodward discuss the use of PDO threads for breast lifting and provide their best practice guidance
Over the past few years polydioxanone (PDO) threadlifting has become one of the latest evidence-based aesthetic trends for facial skin tightening, lifting and rejuvenation. As well as facial ageing, breasts also age, which can be an aesthetic concern for some women. They may choose PDO thread treatment because it is a less invasive way to address breast sagging than surgery and PDO thread breast lifting has been indicated as effective and safe with less pain and minimal downtime than surgical interventions.1 Although, this technique is not suitable for all patients.
In this article we shall explore an innovative new use for PDO threads to lift the breasts, discussing the anatomy, techniques used and possible complications.
