THREAD LIFTS

Thread Lifts in NYC

Lift mid-face, jawline, brow, and neck contours without surgery using PDO thread lifts at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in Midtown Manhattan. Our thread lift program — led by Dr. Marjorie Rico, MD, PhD — uses absorbable polydioxanone threads to physically reposition tissue while stimulating long-term collagen architecture beneath the skin. For patients who want more lift than fillers can provide but aren't ready for a surgical facelift, thread lifts occupy the meaningful middle. Book your thread lift consultation at our Midtown flagship to discuss whether PDO threads are right for your facial architecture.

WHAT THIS CATEGORY ADDRESSES

What Thread Lifts Address at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that introduces absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads beneath the skin to physically lift sagging tissue while stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen production. Threads dissolve gradually over 4–6 months, leaving a stronger collagen scaffold and a measurable lift that can persist 12–18 months. At LC Medical PLLC, Dr. Marjorie Rico, MD, PhD — our thread lift expert — designs protocols around each patient's facial anatomy, degree of laxity, and combination strategy. Many thread lift patients pair PDO threads with dermal fillers (one of our two anchor categories) for combined lift-and-volume work, or with Skin Tightening & Remodeling protocols like Morpheus8 for a multi-modal approach. Dr. Lanna Cheuck and the Dr. Lanna Aesthetics team review every candidate to ensure thread lifts are the right tool for the right face.

WHY DR. LANNA AESTHETICS

Why Dr. Lanna Aesthetics for Thread Lifts

Dr. Marjorie Rico, MD, PhD, brings rare PDO thread expertise to LC Medical PLLC. Her surgical training combined with non-surgical thread artistry positions her uniquely to evaluate which patients are best served by threads, which by Surgical Services, and which by combination approaches. Dr. Lanna Cheuck — featured in Forbes, NewBeauty, NBC, and Fox 5 GDNY — built our thread lift program around the principle that the right tool matters more than the most invasive option. Thread lift consultations include a frank discussion of expected lift, longevity, downtime, and combination strategy. Most patients pair their thread lift consultation with a filler or skin-tightening review. Meet Dr. Lanna →

FAQ

Thread Lift FAQs

  • How is a PDO thread lift different from a surgical facelift?

    A surgical facelift removes excess skin and repositions deeper structures; a PDO thread lift physically lifts existing tissue without removing skin. Threads dissolve naturally and stimulate collagen but cannot match the duration or magnitude of surgical results.

  • How long do PDO thread lift results last?

    The threads themselves dissolve over 4–6 months, but the collagen scaffold they create — and the lift it supports — typically persists 12–18 months.

  • Is there downtime after a PDO thread lift?

    Most patients return to work within 2–3 days. Mild swelling and tenderness are common for 5–7 days; bruising can occur but is typically concealable.

  • Can PDO threads be combined with fillers or Botox?

    Yes — combination strategy is the norm rather than the exception. Many thread lift patients also receive neurotoxin injections or dermal fillers in the same visit.

  • How do I know if I'm a candidate for thread lifts vs. surgery?

    Dr. Marjorie Rico's evaluation considers laxity degree, skin quality, anatomy, and goals. For patients with significant excess skin, our Surgical Services category may be the better fit.
