Helpful?Question: I really need some Thread Lift help...
I hope you can help with my PDO nightmare. am so, so desperate now for some help, and I don’t know where else to turn. I’m not the type of person who usually goes for beauty treatments—this was a very random decision for me. My sister had PDO threads done at the same place, and I thought, "I’m 34, maybe I should start doing more." Before this, the only thing I’d ever done was a bit of Botox twice a year. I wasn’t given much information before the treatment, wasn’t shown how many threads would be used or where they’d be placed, and there was no patch test. In hindsight, it was a horrible, backstreet beauty salon, and I must have had a moment of insanity to go through with it.
After having the PDO thread treatment in January, one of the threads came out almost immediately. A couple of weeks later, red marks started appearing around my eyebrows, and things have only gotten worse since then. The threads keep surfacing, causing scarring, constant discomfort, and distress that has lasted for over six months now.
I didn’t even go back for the 6-week top-up because I realized it had been a mistake (thank God), but the damage was done. This has completely destroyed me, both physically and mentally. I used to be a fitness fanatic, swimming every day and walking 20,000 steps. Now, I’ve been locked away, and I’ve gained a terrible amount of weight. I don’t recognize myself anymore and hate the person I’ve become.
It’s affected my confidence, my ability to work, and overall, I’ve felt like I’m losing my mind. Some days, it even felt like my forehead was going to rip open—I honestly didn’t know how to cope.
I’ve exhausted every option. I’ve tried both the NHS and private healthcare, but no one seems to know how to help. I’ve been advised to take legal action, but I don’t know if it’s worth the emotional and financial pressure. All I have as evidence are photos and videos, and none of the medical professionals I’ve seen so far are familiar with this treatment.
I feel completely lost, and I need advice on whether it’s even worth pursuing this further.
Thanks you!
