thread lift and KELOID? advise?

[deewen]

Hi! desperately need help before i go for my procedure! i've been told by several doctors conflicting remarks about keloid and thread lift! anyone done thread lift before?

ok so i have problems with keloid. i had a earhole when i was younger, then a few years later, it closed, so i went to re-punch the hole and a keloid was formed on both ears respectively. they are HUGE. i had the keloid removed by laser and multiple injections before but it still recurred and i still have this giant thing behind my ear.

anyway, i'm deciding to do my thread lift for double chin and eyebag removal with BC Ng and he told me not to worry about keloids forming. i went to other doctors to see and some said it might form. i went online checked and some said keloids are high chance.

anyway, i went with my vanity and decided to do my procedure soon. but i'm anxious about keloid scarring. anyone has experience or can share stories about thread lift? its my first time taking such huge risks on aesthetics and its quite daunting! thanks

I have a few friends who underwent free PDO thread lift treatments for the purpose of doctor demonstrations at a Korean Thread Lift Workshop in Bangkok a few months ago. It's a relatively safe procedure with very little down-time. Apart from some swelling and small bruises a few days after the thread lift, there is no other complications to the procedure. The results were a bit subtle but it was immediate. According to the Korean doctors, the results should improve gradually over the few next weeks. However, the treatment is only effective for about a year before a refresh is needed.

I just read somewhere that patients with keloids are not advised to go for thread lift because of increased risk of scarring.
