Thread lifting at Eva Clinic uses polydioxanone (PDO) absorbable sutures inserted under local anaesthesia to mechanically lift sagging facial contours and simultaneously stimulate long-lasting collagen formation in the tissue along the thread tract. MUDr. Chovančíková places the threads in a carefully mapped pattern under the skin, creating immediate mechanical repositioning of descended facial fat and soft tissue — lifting the cheeks, defining the jawline, reducing jowls, and tightening the neck. The PDO material is fully absorbed over 6–10 months; however, the collagen framework generated along the thread tracts persists for 2–5 years, providing durable structural improvement beyond the thread's physical presence.
About this treatment
PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifting bridges the gap between injectable volumising and surgical facelift: it provides genuine mechanical tissue repositioning with an effect duration and tissue-quality improvement that simple injectables cannot match, while avoiding general anaesthesia, surgical incisions, and the recovery period associated with rhytidectomy.
Polydioxanone is a well-established surgical suture material, used in cardiothoracic and gastrointestinal surgery for decades. Its tissue biocompatibility is excellent, and its metabolic degradation pathway — hydrolysis to CO2, water, and oxalic acid — produces no toxic byproducts. When used in facial thread lifting, PDO threads are deployed in barbed or smooth configurations:
Smooth threads (mesonite)
Good to know
