Lift gently — without surgery.
PDO thread lifts to subtly lift the mid-face, jawline and brows — the in-between option for clients past filler but not ready for surgery. Walk-in, walk-out.
What it is, plainly.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable surgical sutures — the same material used in cardiac surgery for decades. Inserted just under the skin via a fine cannula, the threads physically lift sagging tissue and dissolve over 6–9 months while stimulating new collagen.
Thread lifts are best for the patient between filler and surgery: someone with mild jowling, a softening jawline or a drooping brow that filler cannot adequately address but who is not ready for a surgical face lift.
Results are immediate and natural — no swelling that screams procedure, no overnight stay, back to office in 1–2 days. Not for everyone (severe sagging needs surgery) — Dr. Anitha will tell you honestly if threads are right for you.
Conditions and concerns we address.
- Sagging mid-face / cheek descent
- Early jowling along jawline
- Soft, undefined jawline
- Drooping brow / hooded eyes
- Mild neck banding
- Marionette lines (lower face)
- Pre-surgery bridging in 40s
- Post-weight-loss laxity
Step-by-step, no surprises.

Why patients choose us.
Doctor-Led, Always
Every consultation, plan and procedure is owned end-to-end by Dr. Anitha — never delegated to junior staff.
Honest Outcomes
We tell you what is achievable and what is not. No upselling, no exaggeration — just a clear written plan.
Long-Term Aftercare
Treatment is the start. Maintenance, photographs and follow-up are part of the package — for life.
Common questions, clear answers.
How long does the lift last?
12–18 months. The thread itself dissolves in 6–9 months but the collagen response sustains the lift well beyond that.
Are the threads visible?
No. They sit several millimetres below the skin and are 30 microns thin — they cannot be seen or felt at rest.
Will I have to repeat it?
Most patients combine maintenance threads every 12–18 months with regular Botox/skincare. Many never need surgery.
Bruising or swelling?
Mild for 24–72 hours. Most patients hide it with concealer by day 3.
