Deep Plane TulipVector™
PDO Thread Lift
The Deep Plane TulipVector™ PDO Thread Lift featuring Kati Midgley’s patented thread technique uses a deep plane duo needle thread technique. Unlike other designs, this design utilizes deep and superficial temporal fascia to maximize fixation and reduce healing time, providing better results.
“Best alternative to surgery”
I drive over an hour to get my threads done at Clarity. Kati has been perfecting the art of threads for over nine years. There is no one else I would trust to get amazing results like these.

WHAT ARE PDO THREADS?
PDO threads are absorbable suture threads that lift and visibly improve the appearance of sagging skin. A thread lift is an effective treatment for:
- Brows
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Crow’s Feet
- Frown lines or “11s”
- Jowls
- Lips, specifically vertical lip lines
- Neck
- Certain areas on the body
HOW IT WORKS:
PDO threads are inserted under the skin in a mesh or lattice pattern, which act as a “scaffold” to help hold the skin against the effects of gravity. Once the PDO threads are inserted under the skin, it prompts the body’s automatic response by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Our body absorbs the PDO thread within four to six months, leaving nothing behind but the newly formed “scaffold,” which will continue to lift the treated area for another 12 to 24 months.
Kati Midgley, PA-C has learned the art of the PDO Thread Lift technique from two highly respected plastic surgeons from Italy — Dr. Antoinetta Quaranta and Dr. Guarino. In addition, Kati has taught a master class with Dr. Quaranta and was the first to teach the only hands-on PDO Thread Lift course in the United States.
Kati Midgley, PA-C was the first medical aesthetics professional in Connecticut to offer this revolutionary technique and presented her patented TulipVector™ Thread Technique at the Global Aesthetics Conference in Brazil.
BENEFITS OF THE DEEP PLANE TULIPVECTOR™ TECHNIQUE:
Kati Midgley, PA-C, provides superior benefits to her patients through her innovative technique including:
- Less frontal face bruising
- Fewer threads needing to be placed
- No knots required to secure threads, resulting in faster healing
- Deep plane fixation resulting in better, more lifted results
- Higher patient satisfaction
- Longer results
- Ability to combine with lower face threads
WHAT TO EXPECT:
First, a topical or a local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area. The area will be marked and the threads are inserted. The entire procedure can take less than 45 minutes.
Some treatment areas will see results immediately, other areas take up to 2 to 3 months with full benefits around the 6-month mark. Results may last from 12 to 24 months.
Some swelling can occur following treatment, which typically resolves within three to four days. Bruising can be moderate and last up to 14 days.
