Thread lift rhinoplasty

Treatment Effect

Thread nose surgery typically shows noticeable improvement in nasal shape immediately after the procedure. As the absorbable threads gradually dissolve within the body, they continuously stimulate surrounding tissues to produce collagen, further enhancing the nose augmentation effect and resulting in a more prominent, natural-looking nose. The results generally last for about 1 to 2 years, though the exact duration varies depending on individual body constitution and the quality of the threads used.

Is this suitable for me?

Suitable for individuals with a mildly low and flat nasal bridge and a鼻尖 that lacks sufficient projection, who seek some improvement in nasal appearance but wish to avoid traditional rhinoplasty procedures (such as implant-based rhinoplasty), and who have good nasal skin elasticity without severe nasal conditions. It is not recommended for those with excessively thin nasal skin, allergic constitutions, individuals currently taking anticoagulant medications, or those with severe psychological disorders.

Select Device

Select Equipment

The primary equipment for suture nose augmentation is the suture needle. Choose needles manufactured by reputable companies that have undergone rigorous sterilization and comply with medical device standards. High-quality needles ensure smoother operation, minimize tissue trauma, and reduce surgical risks.

Price

The price of suture nose augmentation varies depending on the brand of the suture, the level of the medical facility, and the surgeon's experience. Generally, the cost ranges from approximately $450 to $1,450 USD. Imported suture brands, procedures performed by experienced surgeons at large, reputable medical aesthetic clinics, tend to have higher prices.

Expected Outcome

Expected Outcomes

Suture rhinoplasty can moderately improve nasal bridge height and tip shape, but its effects are limited and cannot achieve dramatic nasal reshaping like implant rhinoplasty. Patients should maintain realistic expectations, communicate thoroughly with their surgeon, and develop a reasonable surgical plan based on their nasal anatomy and desired results.

Combination Therapy

Combination Therapy

Thread rhinoplasty can be combined with hyaluronic acid injections. First, a basic nasal framework is created through thread insertion, followed by hyaluronic acid to fill minor depressions or adjust local contours, achieving a more refined nasal appearance. It can also be combined with treatments such as photofacial to improve skin texture on the nose and enhance overall aesthetic appeal.

Adverse Effects and Complications

Side Effects and Complications

Common side effects include localized swelling and bruising, which typically subside within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Potential complications include infection, suture extrusion, and rejection reactions. Infection manifests as localized redness, swelling, heat, and pain, and may produce purulent discharge in severe cases. Suture extrusion is often associated with improper surgical technique or inadequate personal care. Rejection reactions occur when the body mounts an immune response to the suture material, leading to symptoms such as localized itching and rashes.

In addition to the aforementioned swelling, bruising, infection, suture extrusion, and rejection reactions, localized hardening may also occur. This is caused by fibrous encapsulation of the surrounding tissue due to suture stimulation and usually softens gradually over several months.

Select Instrument

As mentioned earlier, the primary focus should be on the quality and safety of the suture needles. Check whether the needle packaging is intact and whether a medical device registration certificate is included to ensure the product used is certified and compliant.

Project Contraindications

Contraindications

Patient with systemic diseases such as severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, or coagulation disorders should not undergo thread nose augmentation. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and individuals with infectious conditions such as inflammation or abscesses in the nasal area are also not suitable candidates for this procedure.

Contraindications for the Procedure

Individuals with severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, coagulation disorders, or other systemic conditions are not suitable candidates for thread nose augmentation. Additionally, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as those with infections such as inflammation or boils in the nasal area, should avoid this procedure.

Side effects

Side Effects

In addition to the swelling, bruising, infection, suture exposure, and rejection reactions mentioned above, localized nodules may also occur, resulting from fibrous encapsulation caused by the thread stimulating surrounding tissues. These typically soften gradually over several months.

Self-Symptom Check

Self-Diagnosis of Symptoms

If you experience persistent local swelling, worsening pain, or abnormal discharge after surgery, these may indicate an infection. If you notice suture threads protruding from the skin surface, this is known as suture extrusion. Symptoms such as localized itching or redness may suggest a rejection reaction. Seek medical attention promptly to enable early diagnosis and treatment.

Select a Treatment Plan

Communicate fully with your doctor, who will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's nasal foundation (such as nasal bridge height, nasal tip shape, and nasal dorsum width), personal expectations, and financial situation. This includes selecting appropriate suture materials and determining the number and placement of the sutures.
