Everything You Need to Know About Nose Thread Lifts > Plastic Surgery

Hello.

I am Dr. Seo Kyung-hee, director of I Love Gangnam Clinic.

Many people want to improve their nose line but hesitate because of the burden of surgery or the recovery period.

One of the options in these cases is a nose thread lift, which uses threads to lift the nose line and create a three-dimensional effect.

It has the advantage of being performed without incisions and allowing for natural-looking changes. However, there are precautions that must be understood and prepared for due to the nature of the procedure.

A nose thread lift is not simply a process of inserting threads, but a process of creating and maintaining a structural line, so clear information and preparation are necessary.

Things to Know Before a Nose Thread Lift

Although a nose thread lift is known as a relatively simple procedure, the structure of the nose is delicate.

In particular, stable results can be expected only when carefully considering the bridge of the nose, nasal cartilage, skin thickness, and blood vessel location.

The following are precautions for nose thread lifts:

Check for a history of nose fillers or nose surgery.

Check skin thickness and elasticity.

Check the condition of the nasal septum and the shape of the columella and nasal tip.

Check for inflammation or skin troubles.

If there are residual fillers, the threads may not settle in a certain direction, or the line may be uneven, which may change the treatment plan.

Simply Inserting Threads Does Not Guarantee a Pretty Nose

A nose thread lift is a method of forming a support with threads, so the location, depth, and direction of the threads are important.

In particular, if it is not carefully designed, the line may be uneven or asymmetrical.

Insertion angle of the threads

Number and spacing of threads

Method of capturing the main axis of the nasal bridge

Design of upper, middle, and lower support points

In other words, design skills determine the results more than the technique of inserting threads.

Finding the right points for your nose structure is much more important than how many threads are inserted.

PDO vs PCL: Why Thread Selection Matters

The threads used for nose thread lifts are typically PDO and PCL.

Each thread has a different maintenance period and tissue reaction, so a clear process is necessary.

PDO Thread

Fast absorption / Natural change / Maintains for about 1 year

PCL Thread

Long maintenance period and strong support / Slowly absorbed / Excellent fixation

If you are considering nose surgery within 5 years, PDO is recommended. If you want long-term maintenance, combining PCL is a good option.

In particular, it has a collagen-inducing effect, so the line becomes more stable over time.

Lifestyle Management After the Procedure

After a nose thread lift, the threads need to settle in a stable position.

Following the precautions for nose thread lifts can further increase satisfaction.

Avoid pressing or rubbing the nose for 2 weeks after the procedure.

Refrain from wearing glasses (especially heavy frames).

Avoid nose massage and pressure.

Limit sauna, steam room, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 1-2 weeks.

Avoid sleeping face down.

Initially, there may be a slight pulling sensation or stiffness, but it will naturally subside over time.

Managing Inflammation, Bruising, and Swelling is Also Important

Even with a stable procedure, normal reactions can occur because the nose is an area with dense blood vessels.

Minor swelling

Mild bruising

Temporary pulling sensation

Most of these symptoms subside within 3-7 days, but if you feel abnormal redness, pain, or inflammation, you should visit the clinic immediately for a checkup.

Also, if you have had multiple nose filler injections, a prior diagnosis is necessary because the remaining material can interfere with the thread placement.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Nose Thread Lift?

When you want to improve your nose line rather than have surgery

When you want to add three-dimensionality because you have a low nose bridge

If you are concerned about filler spreading

If the tip of your nose is not blunt and the structure can be maintained

When you want a natural yet defined line

Conversely, if the nasal cartilage structure is weak or if you have a severe hump, surgical methods or a combined approach may be necessary.

For a Natural and Firm Line

A nose thread lift is not a simple cosmetic procedure, but a process of understanding and designing the nose structure.

An approach that considers both safety and design is necessary, and the stability of the results may vary depending on post-procedure care.

Although it is a non-surgical method, with clear analysis and planning, you can expect a natural line, three-dimensionality, and strong maintenance.
