Once the procedure for a PDO thread lift is done you may have some tenderness, mild swelling, or bruising at the suture sights. These should resolve themselves in three to five days. Most patients are able to go back to work after a day or two, some even the same day. You should wait about a week before returning to the gym after a PDO thread procedure. You will also want to limit your exposure to the sun right after the procedure. The short recovery time is truly one of the great benefits of having a PDO thread lift.
