Nose Thread Lift

What is nose thread lift? 

Thanks to the latest medical technology, the nose can also be augmented non-surgically using polydioxanone (PDO) threads that are 100% bio-compatible and absorbable by our bodies.

Also known as a ‘lunchtime nose job’, PDO Nose Thread Lift is a treatment that can be completed in under an hour. Because of the minimal downtime, patients can resume their daily activities thereafter.

After numbing and application of local anesthetic, the doctor places fine threads along the nasal bridge for the height and the septum to give projection to the nose. The threads are placed under the skin to elevate the nose bridge and tip while stimulating collagen formation to provide sustainable lift for the nose.

The number of threads required varies according to individuals. An initial consult with the doctor is required to determine the current shape of the nose and the desired outcome before he can decide the number of threads required.

Results are immediately visible as the threads provide the scaffold for the nose.

Does Nose Thread Lift have side effects? 

As the PDO threads are bio-absorbable, they will be broken down in 6 to 8 months after the treatment. PDO is an essential material used by surgeons for their surgical sutures.

It is normal to experience some soreness and swelling immediately after the treatment. However, these side effects will subside in a few days.

How long does Nose Thread Lift last? 

Results from a Nose Thread Lift treatment can usually last for about 1-2 years. If the treatment is repeated 9 months after the initial treatment, you can expect the result to be longer-lasting. With stimulation of collagen in the nose, some permanent lifting can be expected.

So, which is better and safer: Nose Thread Lift or Nose Filler? 

It is a perennial question that many people ask. The truth is, there are associated benefits and risks pertaining to each treatment.
