This is an informed consent document that has been prepared to help inform you concerning PDO Thread Lift Procedure, its risks, and alternative treatments. It is important that you read this information carefully and completely. Please initial each section, indicating that you have read the page and sign the consent for the procedure proposed by your practitioner. 

INDICATIONS OF USE: ON or OFF LABEL USE only concerns marketing & promotional material for a product. Physicians are free to use any medical device for any purpose, even a use that the FDA has not approved. PDO threads are to be used in soft tissue approximation where the use of absorbable sutures is appropriate.

Before Receiving your PDO Thread Treatment:

Avoid medications that inhibit clotting such as vitamin E, aspirin, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for seven days prior to treatment.

During your PDO Thread Treatment:

You will feel multiple small needle insertions and a slight stinging sensation, which will last about 3-5 seconds.

After Receiving a PDO Threads Injectable Treatment:

·      To stop any incidental bleeding from the insertion, use a gauze and hand pressure.

·      Bruising/swelling at insertion site may occur

·      Ice may be used for any discomfort but usually none is required.

·      Do NOT massage the area, no facials for at least one week.

·      Do NOT do heavy exercise for 7 days, to allow for the threads to settle and to avoid any prolonged bleeding.

·      Avoid exaggerated actions and abrupt movements such as yawning and laughing, as well as facial massage.

·      Avoid any visits to the dentist for 30 days to allow for the threads to settle.

·      Do NOTsmoke, drink liquids through a straw, or similar motions. Complications may ensue as a result.

·      Sleep upright for several nights after procedure

·      Do wear sun protection repeated daily to avoid any color changes in the skin.


 PDO THREAD ADMINISTRATION CONSENT 

PDO THREAD  is a strong synthetic monofilament fiber consisting of one solid fiber of thread. The thread will reabsorb in 4-6 months depending on the thickness. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes. Results last approximately 9-18 months depending on the patient metabolism, amount received, and location.


ANESTHESIASome discomfort may be experienced during treatment. I give permission for the administration of the anesthesia when deemed appropriate. Local topical anesthesia or local injectable anesthesia may be used and can involve risk of allergic reaction and rash.

RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS It has been explained to me that there are certain inherent and potential risks and side effects in any invasive procedure and in this specific instance such risks include but are not limited to: 1) Post treatment discomfort, swelling, redness, bleeding and bruising, 2) Post treatment bacterial, viral, and/or fungal infection requiring further treatment, 3) Allergic reaction 4) Tissue ischemia 5) Puckering 6) extrusion of threads needing to be trimmed or removed 7)Tissue irregularities 8) Under or over correction 9) Scar at entry point is extremely rare but must always be considered a possibility when puncturing the skin 10)Damage to deeper structures such as nerves, blood vessels and muscles during the course of procedure. The potential for this to occur varies according to the location on the body the procedure is being performed. Injury to deeper structures may be temporary or permanent. 11) Pigment changes to the skin (hyper or hypo-pigmentation): There is a remote possibility of the treatment area either becoming lighter or darker in color than the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary, but on rare occasions, may be permanent. 12) Other: Slight asymmetry may require additional treatment

ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS consist of non-surgical facelift, surgical facelift, Nd:YAG Laser, full-face CO2 Laser, dermal fillers, or chemical peels.

PHOTOGRAPHS I authorize the taking of clinical photographs and their use for scientific purposes both in publications and presentations. I understand my identity will be protected.

PREGNANCY, ALLERGIES I am not aware that I am pregnant, have any significant medical diseases, or have any severe allergies.

ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES MAY BE NECESSARYIn some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single procedure and other procedures may be necessary. The practice of medicine is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there cannot be any guarantee or warranty expressed or implied on the results that may be obtained.

o   I understand that the results will relax over time and additional procedures may be required. 

o   I understand that I may not achieve the desired improvement in shape that was anticipated.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILTIES The cost of procedure may involve several charges for the services provided. The total may include fees charged by your doctor/practitioner, the cost of supplies, or laboratory tests if needed. Additional costs may occur should complications develop from the procedure. I understand that this procedure is cosmetic and that payment is my responsibility at the time of treatment.
