FAQS

HOW LONG DO THE LIFT LAST?

WHAT ARE PRE-PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS?

  • no NSAIDS (ibuprofen, Mobic, Motrin, Advil) or asa 48 hrs prior to procedure.

  • No alcohol 24 hrs prior to the procedures

  • Drink plenty of water 2 days before the procedure.

CAN IT COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEDURES AT THE SAME TIME?

Do botox first then wait at least 2 weeks before doing botox.  Fillers can be done on the same day but Dr. V prefers to wait to ensure inflammation has resolved and threads are stabilized. 

WILL A SURGICAL LIFT BE DIFFICULT LATER ON IF I HAVE PDO THREADS?

As long as you wait 12-18 months before doing any elective surgical lift in the area then you should not have any issues.
