PDO Thread Myths Explained Through Dissection

Instructors:

Professor Sebastian Cotofana, MD, PhD, PhD and Lori Robertson, MSN, FNP-C

Overview:

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.
