ABOUT

What is Nose Thread Lift?

Aesthetically speaking, a slender and well defined nose bridge to tip is preferred by many in Singapore and in Asia. Unfortunately, this is not what most are born with. A flat nose bridge and a wider nose tip is common among Asians, especially Southeast Asians. However, it is now possible to achieve a defined nose bridge through a non surgical way with Hiko nose thread lift.

This is good news for those in Singapore who wish to enhance their nose but are hesitant to go under the knife. Aside from a rhinoplasty or “nose job”, a high nose bridge and pointed nose tip can now be achieved through a minimally invasive and non-surgical procedure known as the nose thread lift or Hiko nose thread lift.

HOW IT WORKS

How Does Nose Theadlift Work?

Hiko nose thread lift is a non surgical procedure in Singapore that uses Polydioxanone (PDO) threads that work to enhance certain parts of the nose to which they are inserted into, such as the nose bridge and tip. PDO has been used in surgical sutures for many years. The results of a nose thread lift are similar to a surgical rhinoplasty, however, the threads used are absorbed and dissolved by the body over time, leading to a tightening effect to enhance nose contours.

A Hiko nose thread lift in Singapore will result in a patient gaining a:

Higher nose bridge without opting for surgical rhinoplasty
More natural-looking nose
Sharper nose tip
Better defined nose contour

An initial consultation is done with the doctor to discuss the results that the patient expects to see on his/her nose top and nose bridge. During this time, the doctor assesses the patient’s needs and determines the number of threads required to achieve optimal results. Once this is set in place, the procedure begins with a thorough cleansing of the areas of the nose where the threads are to be inserted.

After this, local anesthesia is injected on the nose tip to numb the area. The PDO threads are then injected into the nose using blunt cannulas. These threads will do a variety of lifting, sculpting, and contouring which will alter the shape of your nose and improve visual aesthetics of your nose bridge and nose tip.

A nose threadlift takes around 30 minutes to complete. With the use of local anesthesia, you should not feel pain or major discomfort throughout the nose threadlift procedure.

In general, around 8-20 threads are used for lifting the nose bridge and 2-10 threads are used to lift the nose tip area.

It is important to note that not everyone may be a suitable candidate for nose thread lift, such as those with thin skin, as there is a risk of threads being visible through the skin. It is important to have an experienced doctor assess your suitability before a nose thread lift procedure.
