What to Expect Before and After PDO Butt Lift

At Sunset Hills Med Spa, we want your PDO butt lift experience to be safe and satisfying. Preparing well before your appointment helps ensure the best outcome.

Schedule Your Personalized Consultation
Start by booking a consultation with one of our providers. We’ll discuss your goals, review your health history, and confirm if a PDO butt lift is right for you. Please bring a list of medications or supplements, as some may affect your treatment or recovery.

Medication & Lifestyle Adjustments
You may be advised to pause blood-thinning medications like aspirin or NSAIDs, but only under the guidance of your doctor. Avoid smoking and alcohol before the procedure, as they can slow healing and raise risks.

Healthy Habits for Better Results
In the days leading up to your appointment, stay hydrated and follow a balanced diet to support your body’s healing process.

The Day of Your Procedure
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid irritation. If sedation is used or if you may feel uncomfortable driving, arrange transportation. At home, prepare a recovery area with pillows to reduce pressure on the treated area.

Follow Our Pre-Procedure Instructions
We’ll provide personalized directions—following them closely helps reduce complications and achieve smooth results.

At Sunset Hills Med Spa, your safety and comfort are our priorities. Following pre-procedure guidelines before your PDO butt lift helps minimize risks and ensures the best outcome.

1. Medication & Supplement Guidelines
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements—like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil—for one to two weeks before treatment. These can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding.

2. Lifestyle Considerations
Refrain from smoking and alcohol, as both slow healing and raise the chance of complications.

3. Day-of-Procedure Preparation
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to reduce irritation. Keep the treatment area clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils. Notify us if you develop any skin irritation, rash, or infection, as your procedure may need to be rescheduled.

4. Communication with Our Team
Share a full list of medications, allergies, or health conditions with your provider. This allows us to personalize your care and keep the procedure safe.

5. Transportation Arrangements
If sedation or local anesthesia is used, arrange a ride home after your appointment.
By carefully following these steps and your provider’s recommendations, you can promote a smooth recovery and achieve natural-looking results.

At Sunset Hills Med Spa, we want you to feel confident and comfortable when choosing a PDO butt lift. Here’s what to expect during your visit.

Personalized Consultation
Your visit begins with a consultation where we review your medical history, discuss your goals, and assess the areas you’d like to enhance. Together, we’ll create a customized treatment plan designed for natural-looking results.

Preparation
You’ll be settled in a private treatment room, lying on your stomach or side depending on the targeted area. The skin will be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected to ensure safety.

Comfort and Care
To minimize discomfort, we apply local anesthesia. Once numb, your provider inserts fine, absorbable PDO threads beneath the skin with a thin cannula or needle. These threads lift and contour the buttocks for a subtle enhancement.

Minimally Invasive Procedure
The process takes about 30 to 60 minutes. You may feel light pressure or tugging, but it’s usually well-tolerated. After placement, the area is gently massaged for smooth, symmetrical results.

Aftercare and Recovery
We’ll provide aftercare instructions before you leave. Expect mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a week. Avoid strenuous activity or pressure on the buttocks for several days.

Follow-Up and Results
A follow-up visit ensures proper healing. Over the coming weeks, results improve as collagen production is stimulated, with effects lasting several months.

At Sunset Hills Med Spa, our team is committed to ensuring you have a smooth and comfortable recovery after your PDO butt lift procedure. It’s completely normal to experience some swelling and bruising in the treated area following your appointment. These side effects are a natural part of your body’s healing response to the PDO threads.
 
Typically, swelling will peak within the first few days and then gradually diminish over the next one to two weeks. Bruising may also occur, but it is usually mild to moderate and will fade as you heal. The amount of swelling and bruising can vary from person to person depending on factors like your skin type, the number of threads placed, and your body’s individual healing process.
 
Most of our patients at Sunset Hills Med Spa find that any discomfort, swelling, or bruising can be easily managed with cold compresses, over-the-counter pain relievers, and by carefully following the detailed aftercare instructions provided by our medical team. Should you experience excessive swelling, severe pain, or any signs of infection, we encourage you to contact Sunset Hills Med Spa right away so our experts can provide prompt assistance and support.
