What is nose thread lift?
Nose thread lift is a non-surgical rhinoplasty method in which a string of collagen threads will be inserted through the needle puncture under the skin and stick to the tissue and muscle. These collagen threads will hold on to the dorsal to create a durable grid that narrows down the nose and elevate the dorsal naturally.
Basically, this technique works the same way as a thread lift. The threads will generate collagen that helps to beautify and lift the nasal muscle to make the nose higher and more elegant.
The pros and cons of a nose thread lift
1. The benefits
Some noticeable advantages of a nose thread lift include:
- Form a beautiful nose shape without needing any surgery.
- Take very little operation and recovery time.
- Save a lot of money depends on the number of threads required for the client.
2. The drawbacks
Many believe that as long as no invasion is created means that the procedure is absolutely safe. However, this is, in fact, an incorrect belief as this method still has itself some disadvantages like:
- Nose shape: This method can only lift the dorsal slightly, meaning that it is only suitable for those with very few nose flaws. If the nose is too low, deviated, snubbed, or has gone through many revisions then this is not a fitting technique as it is impossible to create a complete nose structure without any surgical interventions like columella reconstruction or nose tip protrusion.
- Body compatibility: Not everyone is suitable for this kind of material; therefore, there is still a chance that complications might happen. Some common side effects are persistent pain, allergy, sinusitis, asymmetrical nostrils, etc.
- Infection: This technique is always advertised as involving the use of specialized thread that is compatible with the body. However, many places actually use low-quality threads, unsanitary environments and syringes. These factors make the procedure causes not only negative impacts on the patient’s health but also nose necrosis in some reported cases.
How long does a nose thread lift last?
According to doctor Phung Manh Cuong – Plastic Surgery Specialist at Gangwhoo cosmetic hospital – the 2 types of threads are dissolvable thread and slow-dissolvable thread. These threads after being put inside the body for some time will consume themselves under the skin. The self-consumption duration can be around 6 months to a few years depends on the type of threads used and the patient’s own condition. The threads after this period will disappear and thus create a high chance of the nose changing back to its original shape. This also means that the technique does not offer a permanent result.
In fact, in many cases, the nose goes back to its original contour only 4 months after the nose thread lift due to the incompatibility between the patient and the material. Furthermore, patients during their middle-age with a higher rate of senescence compares to the younger ones have their collagen threads broken inside the body, preventing the nose from getting lifted as long as that of a younger person.
This is the answer to the question “how long does a nose thread lift last?”. If the patient wants their nose to last longer, they will have to get a second procedure 1 year after the previous thread lift or get a different technique.
