HIKO Nose Thread Lift

In a time of non-invasive procedures gaining popularity, HIKO nose thread lift is becoming an option chosen by many instead of going for surgery. With no downtime, affordable prices and natural results, HIKO is being loved by many looking to alter and correct their nose shape. Then what is HIKO Nose Lift? What effects can be achieved with this non-surgical nasal improvement procedure? And the comparison of nose thread lift before and after. Are there any side effects of nose thread? Let’s get started to know more about this new treatment.

What is HIKO Nose Thread Lift?

The Hiko Nose thread lift, a non-surgical procedure to help patients augment their nose. HI is short for High while KO (코) is the Korean word for “Nose”. When you put them together, the word “Hiko” means “High Nose”.

HIKO Nose Thread Lift treatment uses small absorbable PDO threads to stimulate your own collagen to improve the appearance of your nose. By using a combination of different types of PDO threads, the patients can achieve an sharper and straighter nose bridge, enhanced nose tip’s definition without surgery.

The threads last longer than traditional fillers but are not permanent as with rhinoplasty. However, the risks of an invasive surgery and implant are avoided. The Hiko nose thread lift can be repeated once every 1-2 years to maintain the results.

How to Perform HIKO Nose Thread Lift Procedure?

  • Step 1: The face, especially the nose is cleaned to remove any makeup and dirt. Iodine and Chlorhexine are both used for sterility.
  • Step 2: Local analgesia is infiltrated at the nose tip, along the dorsum of the nose and along the nasal septum to the philtrum (if tip work is performed).
  • Step 3: Once the nasal bridge is numb, threads are inserted through the nasal tip and horizontally along the nasal bridge, under the soft tissue of the nose, in the supraperichondreal and supraperiosteal plane. Typically, 4-8 threads are inserted along the nasal bridge to achieve the desired nose height and definition.
  • Step 4: If an increase in nasal tip projection is also required, then threads are also inserted through the nasal tip and vertically along the columella.

This non-surgical, minimally invasive process reshapes the nose to the patient’s desired height, shape, and definition.

Hiko nose thread lift treatment

Nose threads are made from absorbable polymers like polydioxanone (PDO)—the same materials comprising surgical sutures. PDO dissolves over the course of four to eight months, depending on its thickness and attachments, and most people do not have allergic reactions to PDO suture material.” says Dr. Shasa Hu, a board-certified dermatologist in Miami. Unlike with rhinoplasty surgery, there is no general anesthesia involved.

“The threads last longer than traditional fillers but are not permanent as with rhinoplasty. However, the risks of an invasive surgery and implant are avoided. The Hiko nose thread lift can be repeated once every 1-2 years to maintain the results. I initially inject lidocaine, to numb the insertion point of the threads, which may be at the nose tip or within the nasal cavity. Once the nose is anesthetized with a topical anesthetic, the threads are inserted using a cannula. “

HIKO Nose Lift Side Effects?

Bruising, discomfort, and inflammations are all possible side effects and consequences of a nose thread lift. As are infection, nodule development, skin dimpling, threads are buckling, and protrusion.

Nose threads are frequently barbed to help them grasp the tissue better, and they seldom fall out on their own. A stubborn attempt to remove misplaced or diseased nose threads can cause pain and injury to the skin. If you decide that surgical adjustment is necessary for your nose, it might leave scar tissue behind in the future.

FAQS

Theoretically, yes, it can. Nose thread lifts will offer you the ideal appearance if you want a contoured and well-structured – v shape nose. They might also be successful in enhancing your nose tip to appear smaller, sharper, and thinner. Unlike fillers, nose threads are not only imaginary but provide effective results.

By decreasing nose tip width, a nose thread can elevate the nose. With the help of these threads, it can make a bulbous nose appear sharper and narrower. There are two ways in which a cosmetician can make this happen for you.

They will place the nose thread in the columella, which requires a high degree of skill, or there will be numerous difficulties or high G prime fillers like Radiesse/ Ellanse that get injected directly at the tip beneath the skin.
Both of these nose thread lifting methods can effectively aid in lifting your nose tip upwards and forwards – it creates the perception of a sharper, slimmer tip, which may be suitable for certain patients.

No, a nose thread lift procedure is 100% safe and doesn’t affect your breathing. The threads are placed deeply in the soft tissues of the nose so they won’t affect your internal nasal cavity. If you have a sensitive nose that is more prone to allergic reactions, a nose thread lift will not worsen or improve its sensitivity.

  • The areas to be treated will be numbed with topical as well as local anesthetic.
  • Mark the areas where need to be treated.
  • The threads are then inserted under the skin in precise locations using a small hollow needle to lift and support droopy elements without removing any skin. The inserted thread is then able to grasp onto the droopy skin and soft tissue to reposition the skin. This requires no cuts or incisions. It’s purely done by injections.
  • With the lift effect secured, the hollow needle is removed without leaving any scars.
  • Depending on the desired effect of the lift, few to several sutures will be used.
  • The PDO suture remains underneath the skin. Different sutures and lengths will be used depending upon the area(s) you need lifted.

The result of the Thread Lift is immediate and even more noticeable after 1-2 weeks when all the swelling and potential bruising has resolved. The results will continue to enhance as your skin produces even more collagen over the next several months which will also make the results of the thread lift last longer than the life of the threads. More threads can always be inserted down the line to continue to improve the results and prolong the results even more. If you choose to have a more intensive surgical procedure or facelift at a later point, this can be done without any problems as the PDO sutures will be absorbed completely without leaving any kind of scarring.

You can choose to have nose thread lifting if your fillers wear off. Typically, nose fillers (i.e., hyaluronic filler) results in the last 9 to 12 months.

Both males and females having decent skin quality are suitable candidates for a nose thread lift treatment. However, it’s not suitable for people:

  • Have undergone rhinoplasty
  • With active skin infection
  • With sun-damaged or very thin skin
  • With autoimmune disorder
  • Are looking for a complete change of their nose structure
