Every caseWhat a PDO Neck Lift Does, and What It Cannot Do.
A neck thread lift is a non surgical neck lift that uses barbed threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), a dissolvable suture material, to lift and tighten early neck laxity. It is used for a softening chin to neck angle and the first loose skin under the jaw. At Club 116 in Manhattan it costs from $1,600 and takes an hour.
Lifting threads are anchored behind the ear and placed along the neck. Barbs along each thread grip the tissue and draw it upward and back, which sharpens the angle between the chin and the neck. Where the skin itself is crepey, smooth PDO threads can be added for texture. The threads dissolve in six to nine months and leave collagen along their path. The lift holds twelve to eighteen months and softens rather than drops. Threads suit early laxity, not advanced laxity. The neck is the area where this matters most: heavy, loose skin and prominent bands are a surgical neck lift case, and the doctor will say so rather than place threads that cannot hold the weight.
Who it is for
Early neck laxity, a chin to neck angle that has gone soft, the first loose skin under the jaw that shows when you look down at your phone, and people who want to put off surgery for a few years or avoid it altogether. If you can gently draw the skin under the jaw up and back with two fingers and the angle returns, you are probably a thread case.
Why do it here
The doctor tells you plainly when threads are the wrong tool, and on the neck that is a frequent conversation. The plan is drawn on the neck with you, so you see the direction of lift before you agree to it. The price is one figure for the case, not a count of threads. Nobody works on commission.
Before, During and After.
The doctor assesses skin quality, how much loose tissue there is and how much lift it will hold, because threads suit early laxity far better than late. Photographs give you a baseline, including a profile. The direction of lift is drawn on the neck, and consent is taken in writing. If Morpheus8, smooth threads or a surgical neck lift would serve you better, you hear that at this visit.
Local anesthetic behind the ear and along the neck. The threads are placed under the skin through tiny entry points hidden behind the ear and set by drawing the tissue upward and back along the barbs. Most people describe pressure and pulling rather than pain. About an hour.
A real week of tenderness and swelling along the neck and under the jaw, sometimes a bruise or a small dimple at an entry point that settles on its own. Turning your head feels tight for a few days. Sleep on your back for five nights. The tighter angle is visible straight away and refines as the swelling goes.
Tighter on the day, refined at four weeks, holding twelve to eighteen months. Collagen builds along the threads for months, so the neck reads best at around three months.
Read This Before You Book.
Downtime and aftercare
Expect a week of tenderness and some swelling. Sleep on your back for five nights, with your head slightly raised. For two weeks, avoid wide mouth movements, dental work, facials, hard exercise and anything that stretches the neck, including looking sharply up or down. Let the threads settle before judging the result. Anything specific to your case is written down at the consult.
Not for you if
You are pregnant, have an active skin infection, a bleeding disorder, an autoimmune condition affecting the skin, very thin or very lax skin that would be better served by surgery, or a permanent filler in the area. Heavy neck skin and prominent bands are surgical cases. The doctor will say if threads are the wrong tool.

Neck Thread Lift in NYC: Questions People Ask First.
How much does a neck thread lift cost in NYC?
At Club 116 on Central Park South, a PDO neck thread lift is $1,600 for the case, and members pay $1,280. The figure covers both sides of the neck, the anesthetic and the follow up, and it does not change with the number of threads the doctor decides to use. The exact price is confirmed in writing at the consult.
How long does a neck thread lift last?
The lift holds twelve to eighteen months. The PDO threads dissolve in six to nine months, and the collagen they leave behind carries the result on. When it fades it softens rather than drops. Most people repeat it every twelve to eighteen months.
Neck threads or filler?
Different jobs. Filler adds volume, and the neck rarely needs volume; a small amount at the chin can sharpen the angle from the front, which is a filler case. Threads reposition tissue, so loose skin that has drifted below the jaw is a thread case. Filler cannot lift a neck, and threads cannot build a chin. The doctor tells you which one, if either, you actually need.
Neck threads, Morpheus8 or a surgical neck lift?
Threads move tissue on the day and suit early laxity. Morpheus8, radiofrequency microneedling, tightens the skin gradually over a course of sessions and is the better tool when the problem is crepey skin rather than slipped tissue. A surgical neck lift suits heavy, loose skin and prominent bands, lasts far longer, and costs an operation, a scar and weeks of recovery. If your neck is past threads, the doctor says so at the consult.
Does a neck thread lift hurt, and what does the week after look like?
Local anesthetic numbs the area first, so most people feel pressure and pulling rather than pain. The week after is the honest cost: a tender, swollen neck, tightness when you turn your head, sometimes a bruise or a dimple that settles. You can work from home the next day. Plan for a week before you want to be photographed and two weeks without hard exercise or facials.
