Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Egypt, as the nose is one of the main factors that contribute to facial beauty. Thanks to advances in technology and medical research, nose thread lift procedures have become available without the need for surgery.
In this article, we will discuss nose thread lifting in detail.
What Is a Nose Thread Lift?
A nose thread lift is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the nose and correct certain imperfections without surgery and within a very short period of time.
During the procedure, special cosmetic threads made of a material called polydioxanone (PDO) are used. These threads help lift a low nasal bridge and improve the overall shape of the nose to better match the facial features.
These threads gradually dissolve on their own inside the body. In addition, they stimulate the skin to produce collagen and fibrous tissue, which helps support and tighten the nose, contributing to a more harmonious facial appearance.
Steps of a Nose Thread Lift
Nose thread lifting is performed through simple and straightforward steps because it is a non-surgical procedure.
• First, the nose is thoroughly sterilized and prepared for the procedure.
• Three areas of the nose are then identified: the nasal bridge, the base of the nose, and the nasal tip. These areas help determine where the local anesthetic will be applied.
• After that, Dr. Tarek Zayid inserts the threads using a very fine needle through the tip of the nose, which serves as the only entry point. The threads are then guided beneath the skin of the nose in a specific direction.
The number of threads used depends on the amount of lifting and reshaping required. In most cases, approximately 6 to 12 threads are used during a single session.
• Finally, the doctor tightens those threads, lifts the nose, and fixes the threads to the bones.
Are There Any Side Effects of Nose Thread Lifting?
Dr. Tarek Zayid explains that some side effects may occur, and their severity can vary from one patient to another. These may include:
• Bruising.
• Displacement of the threads from their intended position.
• Pain or discomfort.
• Infection.
• Swelling of the nose.
• Unsatisfactory aesthetic results.
Dr. Tarek Zayid emphasizes that most of these side effects can be managed with appropriate medications and proper sterilization.
What Are the Benefits of a Nose Thread Lift?
Nose thread lifting offers many advantages, in addition to improving the appearance of the nose without surgical incisions, including:
• Improving the shape of the nasal bridge and making it appear straighter.
• Lowering or lifting the nasal tip to enhance its definition.
• Improving the angles and proportions of the nose.
• Refining the nasal tip to achieve better harmony with the nasal structure.
• Creating better balance between the nostrils.
• Achieving natural-looking results.
• A very short recovery period.
• Long-lasting results.
• The possibility of restoring the nose to its previous appearance if the patient is not satisfied with the outcome.
• Greater safety compared to nasal fillers.
Do the Results of a Nose Thread Lift Last Forever?
Doctors and researchers have different opinions regarding how long the results of a nose thread lift may last.
However, many agree that the results can last between 5 and 7 years. The duration depends on several factors, including the type of thread used, the condition being treated, and the patient's individual characteristics.
Some patients choose to repeat the procedure in the future to maintain their results.
Which Is Better for the Nose: Fillers or Threads?
Both nose fillers and nose thread lifts are temporary non-surgical methods used to improve the appearance of the nose. Many people choose non-surgical nose enhancement to avoid surgery and long recovery periods. Understanding the differences between the two techniques can help determine which option is more suitable for each individual.
• Nose Thread Lift
A nose thread lift is a quick and simple non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime. The technique is highly precise and can provide noticeable improvements.
A local anesthetic is used to numb the thread insertion point, which may be located at the nasal tip or inside the nasal cavity. The number of threads and their placement depend on the patient's nasal anatomy and aesthetic goals.
In most cases, several threads are inserted, and some patients may require more than one session. For example, when lifting a drooping nasal tip, three threads may be inserted from the tip of the nose toward the bridge in a V-shaped pattern to provide vertical and lateral support.
• Nose Fillers
Nose fillers provide a temporary change in the shape of the nose. This is achieved using dermal fillers, which commonly contain hyaluronic acid and, in some cases, other injectable materials.
A local anesthetic may be applied to the nose and surrounding area to minimize discomfort. Once the area is numb, the filler is injected into specific areas around the nose or directly into the nasal bridge.
The procedure usually takes between 15 and 45 minutes. Nose fillers may be used to smooth small bumps, enhance the projection of the nasal tip, or add volume to certain areas of the nose.
In addition, if there is a mild bump on the nasal bridge, fillers can help camouflage it and create a smoother nasal contour.
One disadvantage of nose fillers is that the nose is a sensitive area rich in blood vessels and located close to the eyes. For this reason, filler injections may be more technically complex than thread lifting procedures. Fillers may also migrate from their original position, potentially affecting nearby areas and creating uneven contours.
Overall, both nose fillers and nose thread lifts are effective non-surgical options for improving the appearance of the nose. Each technique has its own advantages and limitations.
Fillers are generally more versatile and can address bumps and contour irregularities, but their results do not last as long and may carry slightly higher risks. On the other hand, nose threads tend to last longer and are generally considered safer, although they provide more limited structural changes.Nose Thread Lift Cost
The cost of a nose thread lift varies from one patient to another. Several factors influence the price, including the surgeon's experience, the type of thread used, the number of sessions required, and the patient's aesthetic goals.
The cost may also vary if additional procedures, such as nose fillers, are performed alongside the thread lift.
