Contact UsWhat Is A PDO Thread Lift?
At Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, PDO thread lifting is a nonsurgical method that lifts and firms sagging facial skin. The thread lift is typically a perfect choice for those not ready for a surgical facelift yet still long to diminish evidence of age, such as lines, wrinkles, and hanging skin.
Our plastic surgeons use PDO collagen threads (also referred to as polydioxanone threads). These threads are dissolvable sutures guided into the skin to stimulate collagen production and boost sagging skin and laugh lines. Generally labeled a "lunchtime lift," a thread lift will not require significant recuperation time. Book an initial visit to our Tampa, FL office to see whether a thread lift is an ideal aesthetic choice for your objectives.
How Does A PDO Thread Lift Work?
Thread lifting is a nonsurgical treatment that usually takes an hour to complete. Before your thread lift appointment, a staff member will check with you to ascertain what thread lift to use, the number of injections needed, and the placement to achieve your ideal outcomes. Generally, we utilize a topical numbing cream to desensitize the procedure locations and help you to be comfortable. We will place the sutures through a delicate needle, gently pulling the threads to encourage a lifted look and youthful appearance. No incisions or cuts get used with this process.
Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
I had my breast augmentation in December 2025 by Dr Watts, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with my results! My breasts have healed beautifully. My confidence has absolutely soared, and I finally feel comfortable wearing certain clothes and feel feminine and put together for the first time. It’s amazing what a nice set of boobies can do for a girl lolAfter losing around 50 pounds, I finally decided to do something I had wanted since I was a little girl. All my friends seemed to develop breasts growing up, and I never did. Even when I gained weight, they never really grew. I went from a sad little A cup to a D cup after surgery and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome!Beyond my results, the entire team was incredible. The doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses, and everyone else involved made this such a positive experience. I’m so grateful I chose this practice and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering breast augmentation. Thank you for helping me feel more confident and beautiful in my own skin! 💕
I had my breast augmentation with Dr.Girardot and could not have imagined a better experience.The whole staff at Watt has been so nice throughout the whole process and made me feel so comfortable. My results came out amazing, Dr.Girardot really has a way of choosing the perfect implant. I came in with a few pictures and trusted her to make the best choice for my body and I feel amazing!! I couldn’t be any happier!
I was very skeptical about getting breast augmentation because my biggest fear was that my breasts would look unnatural. I had wanted to have the surgery for years, but I was always too afraid to actually go through with it.Then my best friend found Dr. Watt after hearing so many great things about him. She had her surgery with him first, loved her results, and eventually convinced me to finally do it too. I’m SO glad I did!It’s been 5 months now, and my breasts look incredibly natural. I was already getting compliments after just one month, and my husband is completely obsessed with the results. 😂 Most importantly, I feel like they fit my body perfectly and don’t have that obvious “implant” look that I was so afraid of.The entire team was wonderful. I absolutely loved my anesthesiologist and nurse, and Dr. Watt is seriously a magician. I felt well informed about what to expect throughout the entire process. I won’t say the recovery was easy—the first two weeks were definitely the hardest—but everything I experienced was within what I had been told to expect.If you’re considering breast augmentation but are nervous like I was, I can’t recommend Dr. Watt enough. I only wish I had done mine sooner!
Dr Girardot is amazing . I met her following another surgical consult that didn’t go as planned. She listened to my concerns and what my goals were and executed perfectly. She explained everything along the way, was very easy to communicate with, and called me following surgery and during my post op recovery to check in on me. I can’t recommend her and her team enough. I am very happy with my outcome and the overall process from her team. Thank you all
I am truly impressed with Dr. Watt and his entire team. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the professionalism, warmth, and genuinely positive culture of the practice.Today, Nurse Practitioner Alex expertly administered my Botox with exceptional attention to detail. She was not only highly skilled, but also took the time to ensure I was comfortable, understood the treatment, and completely satisfied with the results. She made the entire experience enjoyable.A couple of weeks ago, NP Morgan performed my Halo laser treatment, and I was equally impressed. Her expertise, thoughtful approach, and personalized guidance made me feel incredibly well cared for throughout the process.It is clear that Dr. Watts has built a team of experts, talented professionals who genuinely care about their patients and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering cosmetic treatments. Outstanding professionals, exceptional care, and a truly positive experience. Kudos to Dr. Watts and his team!

What Are The Benefits Of A PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO thread lift offers a number of advantages for people seeking facial rejuvenation without surgery. Key benefits include:
- Immediate lifting and firming: Threads provide an instant lift to sagging skin, resulting in a more defined and youthful facial contour.
- Collagen stimulation: The PDO threads stimulate your body's natural collagen production over time, improving skin elasticity, texture, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Natural-looking results: The lift is subtle and natural, enhancing your features without an "overdone" appearance.
- Minimally invasive: As a nonsurgical procedure, it involves no incisions, general anesthesia, or extensive downtime.
- Long-lasting: While results vary, the effects of a PDO thread lift can last for 1-2 years, as the collagen continues to improve skin quality even after the threads dissolve.

About UsPDO Thread Lift FAQs
What is the cost of a thread lift?
The actual cost of the PDO thread lift treatment will differ based on the number of threads required and will be decided based on your concerns and aims. Keep in mind that a thread lift is quite a bit lower in cost than surgery, so it may work as an alternative to a facelift. Our staff at Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa will share pricing details when you have your consultation.
How long will PDO thread lifting results be seen?
This will be based on your complexion's initial condition. Typically, the outcomes of a thread lift can last at least 18 months or more. After this period, you may want to have a subsequent procedure to help you maintain a renewed appearance. You could further extend your outcomes by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which involves a balanced eating plan, consistent exercise, and an at-home skin routine.
Does a PDO thread lift hurt?
No, most clients do not report discomfort when they have a thread lift. Before starting, a numbing gel will be used to numb the targeted region to help you feel relaxed during the entire session. Some patients might experience mild aching or redness after the treatment, but this typically dissipates within a few days.
