PDO Threads in Nashville

Absolutely. The act of using a specialized needle to insert PDO threads into the skin has received FDA approval. Only skilled, trusted professionals like the ones at DeLozier Plastic Surgery have received clearance for aesthetic PDO thread treatments in Nashville and Brentwood.

Just like any other treatment that involves inserting sutures into the body, we focus on maintaining a clean, sterile area to work in, ensuring your sites are clean beforehand and after you leave so you don’t have to worry about adverse effects.

Production of collagen starts to decline in our mid-to-late 20s. By our early 30s, we may start to lose 1% per year after that. While PDO threads can be beneficial for anyone over the age of 18 wanting to reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, or facial asymmetry, they are most common in patients between 30 and 45 years old.

A facelift is a surgical procedure, performed while a patient is under general anesthesia. It calls for excision (removal) and repositioning of excess skin. Facelifts are most common in patients over 45 years old who have moderate to severe skin laxity, volume loss, and/or wrinkles.

PDO thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure, performed alongside the use of Pro-Nox and/or localized numbing. It uses small needles to insert fine threads under the skin. These PDO threads are especially designed to anchor the sagging skin and lift it upwards. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which further diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

When you visit DeLozier Plastic Surgery for a consultation for PDO threads in Nashville or Brentwood, we start by listening to your concerns and assessing their severity. After that, you can expect expert advice, backed by years of education, board certification, and real-world practice in the specialized field of aesthetic medicine. We are also happy to provide a secondary opinion if you have previously consulted with a surgeon and weren’t feeling confident about your decision.

If a non-surgical option would be a better fit to achieve your goals, we will be transparent with you about the best path forward, designing a treatment plan that works for your goals, lifestyle, and budget. This consultation is the perfect time to ask questions and educate yourself about your treatment. There are also photo albums available with before and after images of each procedure so you can see real results.

Depending on your needs, lifestyle, budget, and timeline, PDO threads may or may not be the right fit to achieving your goals.

Outside of the required consultation, no preparation is necessary before receiving PDO threads in Nashville or Brentwood. That said, following these steps can help your appointment go smoother.

• 5 days before your visit, abstain from alcohol and tobacco products.
• Avoid medications that increase the risk of bruising. This includes ibuprofen, omega-3 fatty acids, aspirin, and other supplements.
• Try to steer clear of activities that would lead to excessive sweating, including strenuous workouts.
