Early Signs of Aging
Most of us start to notice signs of aging much sooner than we expect or want. You might look in the mirror one morning and see that your skin is becoming looser and creases are starting to form around the forehead, nose, and mouth. Your first inclination may be to turn to injectable treatments to reverse these preliminary aging signs. While injectables are an excellent anti-aging option, and one that is offered at Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery, there is another procedure you might want to consider as well. The Nova Lift, also known as the “lunchtime lift,” is an alternative to surgical procedures for patients looking for mild to moderate correction in their appearance.
The Nova Lift is a way to nip aging signs in the bud to help you prolong your youthful appearance for as long as possible. Some patients find that this procedure allows them to postpone more invasive surgery without compromising their aesthetic goals. The treatment is minimally invasive and can rejuvenate nearly any area of the face. It is particularly efficient for turning back the clock on the lower face, which is where skin laxity and wrinkles can often take their toll first.
In addition to providing immediate lift, the threads stimulate the body’s healing response, which promotes cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin. These natural processes will help you maintain your more youthful appearance long after the body absorbs the threads.
Dr. Mordkovich will have you recline comfortably in our exam chair for your procedure. He will begin by drawing some straight translucent guidelines that crisscross over one another, creating a mesh-like pattern in the skin with an endpoint and a starting point.
During your treatment, Dr. Mordkovich may use one of two different types of PDO threads:
Dr. Mordkovich will select your threads based on the amount of correction you need and the precise results you want. Both of these threads offer dramatic, long-lasting lift and tightening, creating a more youthful facial profile.
Once all threads are in place, Dr. Mordkovich will gently adjust and smooth the treated areas to ensure optimal lift and symmetry. Any minor swelling or redness will be addressed before you leave, and you’ll receive post-procedure instructions to support healing and maintain your results. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately, enjoying a refreshed and lifted appearance with minimal downtime.
Recovery from a Nova Lift is relatively short compared to the downtime you might expect from surgical procedures. You may experience bruising and swelling around the insertion points, which will subside within about one week. Any tenderness will also improve within that timeframe. You should feel ready to resume your daily routine within that week as well.
Results from a Nova Lift are both immediate and long-lasting. You will notice tighter, firmer skin immediately following your procedure. In the months afterward, the results will be naturally maintained as the threads dissolve and the body’s processes take over. Over the years, you may notice signs of aging begin to creep in once again, but another Nova Lift is an option at that time to restore your youthful appearance for even longer.
PDO threads can be suitable for a wide range of individuals who are interested in enhancing their facial appearance. The following groups may consider this procedure:
At Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery, the Nova Lift meets our commitment to provide anti-aging techniques that deliver results beyond your expectations with the most creative, safe, and time-conscious treatments.
As we age, many people look for ways to tighten sagging skin and improve skin elasticity without undergoing extensive surgery. Through advancements in aesthetic medicine, procedures like PDO thread lifts offer a minimally invasive option for restoring a refreshed and youthful appearance. By stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, these treatments help rejuvenate the face while maintaining a natural look that highlights your best features.
PDO threads are considered safe for most individuals. However, patients with certain medical conditions, such as active skin infections, autoimmune diseases, and blood-clotting disorders, should not undergo this procedure. It is best to consult with Dr. Mordkovich to ensure the procedure is appropriate for your specific health needs.
Yes, PDO threads can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, including Botox injections and dermal fillers. Combining procedures can help achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation, addressing multiple concerns simultaneously.
PDO threads are made of dissolvable material and inserted beneath the skin, offering lift and tightening without major surgery. Because no large incisions or excessive volume of corrections are involved, PDO threads provide natural-looking results that enhance your appearance subtly and safely.
