How Does Nose Thread Lift Work?

Nose thread lift is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedure that uses dissolvable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and reshape the nose.

The threads used in nose thread lift are absorbable, which means they are designed to dissolve over time, leaving no foreign material in the body. This makes the procedure safe and minimizes the risk of complications. PDO threads come in both smooth and barbed varieties, with barbed threads providing more lift and support.

After a nose thread lift, patients can expect to see a subtle yet noticeable enhancement to the shape and contour of their nose. The treatment can help create a higher, slimmer nose bridge, a more defined nose tip, and an overall more youthful appearance. The results are achieved by stimulating collagen production in the dermis, which can improve skin quality and reduce age-related volume loss and bone resorption.

The treatment area for a nose thread lift is typically the bridge and tip of the nose. The procedure can also be used to rejuvenate the temples and other areas of loose skin on the face. Patients should have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure and understand that the results may vary depending on their individual anatomy and profile.

It is important to avoid touching or rubbing the nose for the first few days after the procedure to allow the threads to settle into place. Patients should also avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for at least a week after the treatment.
