PDO THREADS LIFT
Keep You Looking Fresh and Youthful
There are two types of PDO (polydioxanone) thread smooth PDO and lifting PDO. Smooth PDO gets rid of the scar issue and creates a new collagen again. So it can be used in forehead and crow's feet along with Botox to remove the wrinkle more effectively, and it can be used in temporalis, masseter, trapezius, splenius capitus, and sternocleidomastoid muscle to remove the pain
At Dr. SmiLee Dental & MedSpa of Killeen, Dr. Jong Hyung Lee offers advanced non-surgical PDO Thread Lift procedures to redefine facial contours, lift sagging skin, and trigger natural collagen production. Conveniently located at 1001 S Fort Hood St, Ste 1001 B, our practice provides a seamless, integrated approach to complete wellness, uniting routine Family Dentistry, urgent Emergency Dentistry, Dental Implants Dentistry, and cutting-edge MedSpa services under one roof. Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are FDA-cleared, dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to immediately lift lax tissue around the cheeks, jowls, neck, and jawline without the risks or extended downtime of traditional surgery.
Serving military families and residents throughout Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Fort Cavazos, Belton, and Temple, Dr. Lee utilizes an expert understanding of facial anatomy to achieve subtle, natural-looking results. As the PDO threads gradually dissolve over 6 to 8 months, they stimulate neocollagenesis—building a sturdy structural matrix of fresh collagen and elastin that keeps skin firm for up to two years. Combining a PDO Thread Lift with other MedSpa services—such as wrinkle-smoothing Botox or volumizing fillers—delivers total non-surgical facial rejuvenation. For patients completing smile makeovers with Dental Implants Dentistry or comprehensive Family Dentistry crowns, defining the lower jawline with PDO threads creates a youthful, elegant frame for your restored teeth. Should you experience facial trauma or tooth injury, our Emergency Dentistry protocols ensure rapid care before finalizing your aesthetic goals.

Q: What is a PDO Thread Lift and how does it work at Dr. SmiLee MedSpa in Killeen?
A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical facial procedure in which Dr. Jong Hyung Lee places dissolvable Polydioxanone sutures beneath the skin. The threads instantly lift sagging tissue around the cheeks, jowls, and neck while stimulating natural collagen production as they dissolve over time.
Q: How long do PDO Thread Lift results last and what is the recovery time?
Immediate lifting results are visible right after treatment, with full collagen synthesis building over 2 to 3 months. While the threads dissolve naturally within 6 to 8 months, the new collagen matrix maintains skin tightness for 12 to 24 months. Downtime is minimal, with minor swelling or bruising resolving in a few days.
Q: Is a PDO Thread Lift covered by insurance or financing plans in Killeen?
Cosmetic PDO Thread Lifts are purely elective procedures and not covered by TRICARE or private PPO insurance plans. However, Dr. SmiLee Dental accepts CareCredit zero-interest promotional financing to allow patients in Killeen and Fort Cavazos to break up costs into manageable monthly payments.
