MINT™ PDO Thread Lift
The MINT™ PDO Thread Lift: The Non-Surgical Facelift on Long Island
Gravity is inevitable, but surgery doesn’t have to be. As we age, the fat pads in our face descend, leading to jowls, deep folds, and a “heavy” lower face. If you are searching for a “pdo thread lift near me” to restore your V-shape but aren’t ready for a surgical facelift, Inara MedSpa has the solution.
We specialize in the MINT™ PDO Thread Lift, a minimally invasive procedure that instantly lifts sagging tissue and stimulates long-term collagen production.
This is an advanced medical procedure, not a simple spa service. It is performed exclusively by Dr. Attia Hussain. Her deep knowledge of facial anatomy and vascular structures ensures that your threads are placed safely and precisely for a natural, lifted result.
Why MINT™? The 360-Degree Helical Advantage
You may have heard horror stories about threads snapping or failing to lift. That is often due to inferior thread quality. At Inara, we exclusively use MINT™ (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread) because they are the gold standard in lifting technology.
The Difference is in the Barbs:
- Old Technology: Traditional threads use “cut” barbs (nicks cut into the thread core), which weakens the thread and makes it prone to snapping.
- MINT™ Technology: These threads feature molded barbs arranged in a patented 360-degree helical pattern.
- The Result: The molded barbs anchor into the skin tissue with significantly more strength, allowing Dr. Hussain to provide a heavier, more dramatic lift that actually holds.
What Can We Lift? (Full Face & Neck)
Dr. Hussain uses specific thread vectors to contour and redefine:
PDO Thread Lift Jowls & Cheeks
This is our most requested treatment. By placing lifting threads from the cheekbone down to the jawline, we can physically reposition sagging fat pads. This restores the “apple” of the cheek, sharpens the jawline, and reduces the appearance of jowls instantly.
PDO Thread Neck Lift
Tech-neck and aging can cause skin laxity under the chin. A thread neck lift tightens this loose skin and defines the cervicomental angle (the angle between chin and neck), creating a smoother profile.
PDO Thread Lift Eyes (Brow Lift)
Wake up tired, heavy eyes. We use threads to physically lift the tail of the brow and the forehead skin. This opens up the eyes, treats mild hooding, and creates a refreshed, alert appearance (sometimes called the “Fox Eye”).
PDO Nose Thread Lift
A safe alternative to liquid nose filler. We use threads to lift the nasal tip and straighten the bridge for a non-surgical rhinoplasty effect.
The "Collagen Scaffolding" Effect
The lift you see immediately is just the beginning. The threads are made of Polydioxanone (PDO), a complex sugar used in cardiovascular surgery sutures.
- Immediate Lift: The threads mechanically lift the tissue.
- Biological Lift: As the threads dissolve over 6-8 months, your body heals around them by creating new collagen and elastin.
- Long-Term Result: Even after the thread is gone, that new collagen structure remains, maintaining your lift for 12 to 18 months.
Dr. Hussain’s Combination Artistry
Threads are powerful, but they don’t solve everything. For the ultimate pdo thread lift full face transformation, Dr. Hussain recommends a multi-modal approach:
- Step 1: Tighten. We recommend Sofwave® first to tighten the skin envelope.
- Step 2: Lift. We use MINT™ Threads to reposition the tissue.
- Step 3: Volumize. We use Dermal Fillers to replace deep volume loss that threads cannot fix.

Your MINT™ Questions, Answered
You can return to most daily activities immediately, but we advise a “social downtime” of about 1 week.
- Swelling: You may experience mild swelling or bruising for 7-10 days.
- Sensation: You may feel a “tightness” or “tugging” sensation when opening your mouth wide for the first 2 weeks. This is normal and means the threads are holding.
- Restrictions: Avoid heavy exercise and dental work for 2 weeks.
We prioritize your comfort. We use a potent topical BLT cream (Benzocaine, Lidocaine, Tetracaine) and, crucially, injectable local anesthesia along the path of the thread. Most patients report feeling pressure or pushing, but not sharp pain.
When performed by a board-certified physician, risks are minimal. Temporary dimpling or puckering of the skin can occur but typically resolves on its own within a week as the threads settle.
