Nose Thread Lift and Fillers
One size does not fit all
Every individual’s nose is different.
Some noses are more suitable for thread lifts, while others have better results with nose fillers. And in some cases, a combination of both a nose thread lift and nose filler is necessary for optimal results.
Shiro Aesthetic Clinic will determine which nose augmentation method is suitable for you and will produce your desired result via a non-invasive nose augmentation service — nose thread lift or nose filler — in Singapore, without you having to go through surgery.
In the past, the only way to augment the nose was via surgical options like rhinoplasty, which is invasive, painful, has long downtime and carries a relatively higher risk of infection. This made surgical methods unpopular.
Now, with newer technologies, materials, and techniques in Singapore, non-surgical thread lifts utilising nose threads and nose fillers are now the preferred methods of choice. They not only provide immediate results and are quicker to perform (approx. 15mins), but they also have less risk involved compared to surgical options.
Nose Thread Lift vs Nose Filler: Deciding on Your Options
Higher Nose Bridge
Nose fillers are recommended for individuals with a flat or low nose bridge, as it gives an immediate increase in volume and nose bridge height. Although nose thread lifts can achieve a similar effect, many threads are required, which will increase costs and is not a cost-effective option. Nose thread lifts are more suitable for individuals who already have some nose height but would like to achieve a better definition.
Contoured + Straighter Nose
Nose threads are highly recommended for sculpting a more defined nose.
They are very effective in creating a sharper and straighter nose by lifting the midline of the nose from the tip right up to the bridge, thus, achieving a significantly sharper sculpted nose without increasing the width of the nose.
Smaller + Sharper Nose Tip
Previously, nose fillers were used to create a sharper nose tip.
However, there is a small risk that overfilling or movement of filler can cause the nose tip to look broader.
Nose threads are more effective in augmenting the nose tip to make it sharper and smaller by utilising tiny anchoring points like cogs to lift the nose up during insertion without any risk of making the tip larger. The threads create a foundation and scaffolding effect, resulting in a much sharper and lifted tip relative to fillers.
How Long Do Threads and Fillers Last?
Depending on the type of filler used, the duration of effect for fillers normally lasts 12-24 months. This is regardless of whether they are hyaluronic acid based or non-hyaluronic acid based, the lifestyle of the individual and body absorption.
The duration of threads is also dependent on the material of the threads, namely PDO/PLLA/PLC, which are mostly based on dissolvable surgical sutures, as well as lifestyle. They typically last 9-24 months and are completely dissolved after insertion.
Thread + Filler Combination
Shiro Aesthetic Clinic understands that every individual has different needs. Depending on your unique condition, we may recommend using a combination of both fillers and threads. Fillers are first introduced to provide volume to give a significantly higher nose bridge, after which threads are inserted to achieve a sharper, contoured nose and smaller, lifted nose tip. A combination of both threads and fillers also lasts longer than if used singly.
What Are The Costs Involved?
Nose threads cost slightly more than fillers. Pricing is dependent on the number of threads or fillers used. Do contact us for enquiries regarding the method of choice for nose augmentation and the amount of material required.
Nose Thread Lift After Care
Nose thread lift aftercare involves a few things:
- Leave the area completely untouched for at least 12 hours after the procedure.
- Take the medications prescribed by your aesthetic doctor.
- For 1-2 days after the procedure, avoid applying makeup, but use sunscreen with SPF30+ to avoid sun damage. Also, treat the area with ice to avoid swelling.
- For 1-2 weeks after the treatment, do not scrub, rub or exfoliate your nose area.
- Also, do not smoke or drink alcohol for a week.
- Avoid exposing your nose to extreme temperatures and performing any strenuous activity.
