PDO Threads Nose (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty)
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are commonly used in non-surgical procedures to lift and tighten the skin. While PDO threads are also used for non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures.
PDO threads for non-surgical rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “thread nose lift,” involve the insertion of dissolvable threads beneath the skin’s surface to reshape the nose and improve its appearance. This procedure is typically used to address specific concerns such as:
Dorsal Hump: Threads can be placed to smooth the appearance of a dorsal hump, creating a straighter nasal bridge.
Tip Lift: Threads can be used to lift and refine the nasal tip, providing a more youthful and elevated appearance.
Straightening and Contouring: PDO threads can help in achieving a straighter and more symmetric nose by adjusting the nasal shape and contour.
Advantages of PDO Thread Rhinoplasty
Non-Invasive Procedure: PDO thread rhinoplasty is a non-surgical approach, which means no incisions, no general anesthesia, and significantly less downtime compared to traditional rhinoplasty.
Quick Results: The results of a PDO thread nose lift are noticeable almost immediately, and they can be refined further over the following weeks as collagen production continues.
Minimal Discomfort: Patients may experience mild discomfort, but it’s generally well-tolerated. Topical anesthesia can be applied to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
Versatility: PDO threads can address various nasal concerns, including dorsal humps, droopy tips, and nasal asymmetry, offering a more versatile approach to rhinoplasty.
Lower Risk: Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, the risk of complications or long-lasting side effects is minimal.
The PDO Thread Rhinoplasty Procedure
The PDO thread rhinoplasty procedure involves the following steps:
Assessment: Your practitioner will evaluate your nose’s current appearance and discuss your goals for the procedure.
Anesthesia: Topical anesthesia is applied to numb the area, ensuring you’re comfortable during the procedure.
Thread Insertion: The dissolvable PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin to reshape and lift the nose according to your desired outcome.
Results: The immediate results will be visible, with further refinement occurring as collagen production is stimulated.
Aftercare and Recovery
After a PDO thread rhinoplasty, you can generally resume your daily activities with minimal downtime. Some mild swelling and bruising may occur, but these side effects usually subside within a few days to a week. Following your practitioner’s post-procedure instructions is essential to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
