Nose thread lift

Assess nasal skin thickness, cartilage, asymmetry and previous threads, fillers or surgery. Discuss which area will be supported, thread count, limits of change and the possibility of revision or removal.

After assessment, planning, cleansing and anaesthesia, absorbable threads are inserted into selected columellar or alar areas. Each combined treatment requires its own suitability assessment. Confirm the total including anaesthesia and extra threads.

Swelling, bruising, tenderness or a foreign-body sensation may occur. Avoid pressure, forceful nose blowing and massage; ask about cleansing, makeup, glasses and exercise. The settling period varies.

Risks include infection, thread exposure or extrusion, irregularities, asymmetry, persistent pain and unsatisfactory results. Do not manipulate exposed threads; contact the clinic for pus, fever or worsening redness. Absorbability does not eliminate complications.
