PDO threads, made from a biodegradable polymer used in medical suturing, dissolve naturally over 6 to 12 months while effectively stimulating collagen production. These threads are known for their safety and efficacy, offering subtle lifts and minor enhancements to the nasal contour with effects that can last longer due to ongoing collagen stimulation.
Nose Thread Lift In Singapore
Nose thread lift, often referred to as a non-surgical nose job or a nose shape lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the nose without the need for invasive surgery.
This procedure utilises absorbable threads, which are inserted under the skin to refine the nose shape, improve contours, and enhance facial symmetry. Thread lifts are particularly appealing due to their reduced recovery times.
Who is this For?
Nose thread lifts offer a safe, non-surgical option for people seeking to improve the appearance of their noses without the risks and complications that come with rhinoplasty.
Types of Threads Used
Polydioxanone (PDO) and Polycaprolactone (PCL) threads are used for nose shape lifting. Our doctor will suggest the most suitable type of thread to use after a thorough consultation with the patient.
Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads
Polycaprolactone (PCL) Threads
Polycaprolactone (PCL) threads are made from a biocompatible material that dissolves slower than PDO threads, providing a more pronounced lift due to their thicker structure. Lasting up to 24 months, these threads are gradually absorbed by the body. PCL threads are ideal for significant structural adjustments and volume effects, making them beneficial for those needing a more noticeable lift and volume increase.
Pre-Procedure Considerations
- Health Conditions: Patients should disclose any relevant health conditions, allergies, or medications to their doctor.
- Previous Treatments: Information about past cosmetic treatments, especially those involving the nose area, is important for determining the approach and type of threads used.
- Realistic Goals: Results are typically more subtle than rhinoplasty, with quicker visible results and with corresponding lesser downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long do the results of a nose thread lift last?
The longevity of results from a nose thread lift varies depending on the type of threads used and individual factors like age and skin quality. Typically, results can last between 12 to 18 months.
Is nose thread lifting painful?
Patients usually experience minimal discomfort during the procedure due to local anaesthesia. Post-procedure, any mild pain or discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How soon can I return to wearing glasses after the procedure?
It is recommended to avoid wearing glasses directly on the bridge of the nose for at least 2-4 weeks to prevent pressure on the treated area, which could affect the placement of the threads.
Can I use fillers in conjunction with a nose thread lift to achieve a better-shaped nose?
Yes, combining fillers with a nose thread lift is a common practice that can enhance the overall aesthetic results. Fillers can add volume and smooth out contours, while thread lifts provide structural support and lift. This combination allows for more comprehensive enhancements and can be tailored to meet specific aesthetic goals. It’s important to consult with a doctor who can assess your individual needs and recommend the best approach for achieving a harmonious and natural-looking result.
