PDO Thread Myths Explained Through Dissection

PDO threads remain one of the most debated tools in aesthetics, with ongoing questions about safety, longevity, fibrosis, and their impact on future surgery.
In this advanced, anatomy-driven webinar, Professor Sebastian Cotofana and expert injector Lori Robertson combine cadaver dissection with live clinical thread placement to reveal what truly happens to tissue—replacing assumption with anatomical clarity for thoughtful, responsible use.

What You’ll Learn in This Anatomy-Driven Deep Dive

• PDO Threads Revealed Through Dissection

See exactly where threads lie within tissue planes and how they relate to fat, fascia, ligaments, and critical structures.

• Threads & Future Surgery: An Anatomical View

Learn what surgeons encounter during facelifts after thread placement, including fibrosis, tissue changes, and effects on surgical planes.

• Placement, Plane & Product Matter

Understand how depth, vector, thread type, and anatomy affect results and long-term tissue response.

• From Anatomy to Responsible Thread Technique

Lori Robertson, MSN, FNP-C, translates dissection findings into safe, intentional thread placement for predictable outcomes and surgical respect.

• Anatomy Over Industry Hype

Gain evidence-based insight to assess PDO thread use with clarity, confidence, and clinical responsibility.
