The PDO (Polydioxanone)Thread Lift and Smoothing procedure uses absorbable surgical sutures placed into the subdermal layer of the skin to initiate collagen production. The procedure can result in increased firmness and elasticity of the skin in the treated area. The PDO Lift procedure is effective in most cases, however there is no guarantee a specific patient will benefit from the procedure. The nature of cosmetic procedure may require a patient to return for numerous visits in order to achieve the desired results or to determine whether the treatment may not be completely effective at treating the particular condition. Alternative Treatments: Alternative forms form of non-surgical and surgical treatment consist of surgical facelift, laser, full-face C02 laser, dermal fillers, local muscle relaxer (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), chemical peels or inaction. Every procedure involves a certain amount of risk. An individual’s choice to undergo a procedure is based on the comparison of the risk to the potential benefit. Although most patients do not experience adverse complications, you should discuss your concerns and potential risks with your practitioner in order to make an informed decision.

Although peak results are expected, there cannot be any guarantee or warranty expressed or implied on the results that may be obtained. I understand that no warranty or guarantee of specific result has been made to me. I realize that, as in all medical treatment, complications or delay in recovery may occur which could lead to the need for additional treatment, and could result in a delay to one’s normal daily activities and thus economic loss. I understand my practitioner may discover other conditions which require additional or different procedures than planned treatment. I authorize my practitioner and his or her associates, technical assistants and other health care providers to perform such other procedures which are advisable in their professional judgment. I understand my cheeks/jowls may not achieve the desired improvement anticipated. I understand sutures may extrude, may have to be trimmed or may have to be removed in the future.
