What is Nose Thread Lift?
Nose threads are made of synthetic, dissolvable material which is placed carefully and precisely to improve the aesthetic contour of the nose. The threads used in nose thread lifts are similar to those used in surgery, and are safely synthesised using bioabsorbable materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), which is commonly used in Singapore. The threads are slowly and safely absorbed by the body over a 6 to 9- month period, but results last beyond that due to the collagen regeneration process.
How is the prodedure for Nose Thread Lift performed?
Firstly, a thorough consultation is performed by our Aesthetic Doctor– Dr J Ngiam, who will determine if you are suitable for the procedure. There is no special preparation needed prior to coming to the clinic on the day of the procedure. Your face is cleansed and numbing cream applied and left on for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Next, local anaesthetic will be injected to further numb the puncture site (usually at the tip of the nose). A needle will be used to make a small puncture at the tip of the nose. Subsequently, an average of 4 to 6 threads are placed to contour the nose. A dressing is applied at the puncture site after the procedure is complete.
