What is a Nose Thread Lift?
A nose thread lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance and reshape the nose without the need for traditional surgical methods. This procedure utilizes dissolvable fine threads made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material. Unlike a rhinoplasty, a nose thread lift focuses on lifting and defining the nose’s appearance quickly and with simplicity. During the procedure, these PDO threads are strategically inserted to boost the nasal bridge and elevate the tip of the nose. This non-surgical approach allows for a more defined nose shape, providing individuals with an alternative option for nasal enhancement that avoids the invasiveness of traditional surgical interventions. The dissolvable nature of the threads ensures a temporary yet effective result, contributing to a natural-looking and refreshed nose contour.
Procedure Overview:
- Single entry point at the tip of the nose for the insertion of PDO threads along the nasal bridge.
- Threads are equipped with cog-like formations or barbs to provide immediate mechanical support, enhancing nose shape and definition.
PDO Component:
- PDO threads are fully biocompatible.
- Proven to stimulate collagen production and trigger the formation of new collagen for long-lasting results.
Scaffolding Structure Creation:
- Threads enable the creation of a scaffolding structure for reshaping the nose.
- Post-insertion, gentle hand molding by the doctor is employed to achieve the desired lifting effect.
Dissolution Process:
- Over the subsequent 6 to 9 months, PDO threads safely dissolve and are absorbed by the body.
- Continuous stimulation of collagen production and tissue fibroblasts in the nose occurs during this gradual process.
Sustained Elevation and Results:
- The gradual process ensures sustained elevation of the nose bridge and tip.
- Results last up to 1 to 2 years, making the nose thread lift an effective and minimally invasive option for lasting nasal enhancement.

How do I know whether Nose Thread Lift is right for me?
The nose thread lift can’t drastically reduce the size of the nose since the lift doesn’t change the cartilage structure of the nose, so consider that if you’re looking for a large reduction in nose size. However, you should first consult with a healthcare provider before deciding on undergoing a nose thread lift or any other treatment.
