How does a Nose Thread Lift work?

During the treatment the nose is sterilized, and a topical anaesthetic injected to numb the area prior to the suture’s insertion for minimal discomfort.

Only one entry point is made on the tip of the nose to insert the threads along the nasal bridge. Once the suture has been applied, the doctor performs slight moulding of the skin to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect.

The number of sutures applied depends on the patient’s desired outcome.

This technique allows surgeons to correct or improve:

• the shape of the nose
• the angle of the nose
• the tip of the nose
• the bridge of the nose

The stitches used in a Nose Thread Lift may last for several years and can potentially be tightened and adjusted to aim for a refined and straightened appearance. Results may vary from person to person.

A potential advantage of a Nose Thread Lift is that it might be less invasive than a surgical rhinoplasty and could potentially allow for a faster recovery. However, individual experiences may vary.

What should you expect after Nose Thread Lift?

After this treatment, there may be some mild swelling and transient bruising but this usually subsides in around 2 to 7 days.

Uncommon side effects include infection, minimal acute inflammatory tissue reaction, and pain. Transient bruising may also occur. Sometimes, a slight depression or skin irregularity may appear at the entry points. These inconveniences should disappear a few days after treatment.

How long do the results last and how many treatments are required?

At Me Clinic our surgeons use absorbable APTOS threads with barbs on them that last longer than the Korean PDO threads, where results usually last few months.

Made in Germany, APTOS threads are a bidirectional barbed thread which allows a non-invasive and natural approach to nose correction without surgery.

This premium quality thread stimulates the growth of collagen (called “Type I Collagen) around the area, which is still present after 2 years from the time of the procedure. Most patients can display an improved cosmetic result even after 2 years.

How much does it cost?

As every patient we see has different requirements, it is difficult to provide standardised pricing as each procedure is tailored to the individual patient’s situation. A no obligation consultation with one of our Surgeons is essential in determining what you require and which procedure would be best suited for you.

Our philosophy is simple. We want you to be fully informed, and we want you to understand all your options. Consultation fees may apply.

There is no need for you to obtain a referral from your own doctor to see one of our practitioners. Generally, we are able to book you in to see one of our practitioners in 7 to 14 days.
