Who Can Benefit
Fine dissolvable PCL, PLLA or Aptos threads are placed under the skin along the nose bridge and into the tip. They raise and shape the nose straight away, and as they dissolve they stimulate collagen, which helps the shape last.
- A low or flat nose bridge
- A rounded or drooping tip
- Patients who want a sharper, more defined nose
- Patients who want a result that lasts longer than filler
Threads add height and definition but do not make the nose smaller. Nose filler can be added to smooth small bumps or fine-tune the shape.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or with an infection in the area, and discuss it first if you have had nose surgery or have a nose implant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain.
When will I see results?
Straight away, with the final shape once swelling settles in 1 to 2 weeks.
How long do results last?
Typically 12 to 24 months, depending on the thread type.
Is there downtime?
Swelling or slight bruising for 3 to 5 days. Avoid pressing the nose, wearing glasses and strenuous exercise for 2 weeks.
