Thread lifting is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin using medical-grade, dissolvable threads made of materials like polycaprolactone (PCL), polydioxanone (PDO), or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). These threads increase collagen production by activating the body’s natural healing processes.
Thread lifting targets several parts of the face, one of which is the nose. Since our noses are at the center of our faces, they play a significant role in our facial aesthetics and contribute to the overall balance and symmetry of our faces.
Here at the AMOA 640 Skin Clinic, we offer nose thread lifting using PCL. This is a minimally invasive, mini plastic surgery procedure that offers less downtime and recovery time than conventional surgery. PCL Nose Thread Lift can lift your nose bridge and nose tip, slim your nose, and refine your nose ridge.

What is PCL Nose Thread Lift?
PCL Nose Thread Lift is a cosmetic procedure that shapes the nose using specifically designed threads made out of a dissolvable material called polycaprolactone. PCL is considered as one of the safest materials used in plastic surgery devices. It is biochemically more stable than other thread materials, such as polydioxanone and poly-L-lactic acid, allowing them to last much longer while still being dissolved into the skin.
After being inserted along the midline of the nose through an entry point at the nose tip, these threads act as anchors to mechanically lift the nose bridge while the doctor shapes your nose according to your preference. With time, the threads also stimulate natural collagen production as they break down by creating fibroblasts. This collagen helps in firming the area around the threads to preserve the new shape of the nose achieved through the nose thread lift and in improving the elasticity of the skin around that area. Additionally, this dual mechanism allows nose threads to provide outcomes that last longer than fillers.
The major advantage of using PCL as the material for nose thread lift lies in its long-lasting properties. PCL takes roughly two years to fully degrade, and its capacity to stimulate collagen production lasts a year or more.
If you think you would greatly benefit from this procedure, as with any procedure here at our clinic, you must consult with our doctor first. Our doctor will assess your condition to check if you may have other issues that may hinder you from achieving your goal or if this procedure may not be appropriate for you. During the consultation, you will be guided through the basics of the procedure, its inclusions, and aftercare.
On the day of the procedure, our licensed technician will escort you to one of our treatment rooms for prep. Once you are in the treatment room, our doctor will inject local anesthesia at the tip of your nose and along several points of the nose to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Our doctor will then insert the nose threads onto the nose tip or within the nasal cavity using a blunt cannula while sculpting the nose at the same time. The number of threads will differ between individuals (usually between 4 to 12), depending on the nose anatomy, goals, and expectations. Excess threads are trimmed off afterwards. The process can take as quickly as 15 minutes, and results will be visible immediately after. After the procedure, you may experience some slight swelling and bruising over the nose bridge that may last for 3 to 5 days, but you can carry on with your day-to-day activities right away.
Why do people choose to undergo PCL Nose Thread Lift?
Our noses are at the center of our faces. They play a significant role in our facial aesthetics and contribute to the overall balance and symmetry of our faces. When we don’t feel too good about the appearance of our noses, it can greatly affect our confidence and self-image. Until recently, there were limited options to improve the shape and appearance of our noses – procedures such as rhinoplasty were usually invasive and intense with significant downtime. Our PCL Nose Thread Lift offers a minimally invasive, mini plastic surgery alternative with less downtime and recovery time than conventional surgery. PCL Nose Thread Lift can lift your nose bridge and nose tip, slim your nose, and refine your nose ridge without the risk that general anesthetics and surgeries pose. It is also not painful. Most patients often say that discomfort only happens when the local anesthetic is applied – the procedure itself is painless.
The effects of our PCL Nose Thread Lift can immediately be seen after the procedure, typically lasting around 1 to 2 years. The effects of the thread lift may also last much longer due to the stimulation of collagen.
Our PCL Nose Thread Lift offers the following benefits:
- Quick and easy procedure with minimal downtime
- Immediate lifting effect
- Collagen boost and increased skin elasticity
- Natural and long-lasting results
Who is a good candidate for PCL Nose Thread Lift?
Our PCL Nose Thread Lift caters to most healthy adults who would like to reshape their noses in a less-invasive way compared to conventional surgery. It’s also a good option for individuals who would want to see immediate and natural-looking results. Effects typically last around 1 to 2 years, although it may last longer due to the stimulation of collagen.
Our PCL Nose Thread Lift is specifically beneficial for individuals who wish to attain the following:
- Nose bridge lift
- Nose tip lift
- Nose slimming
- Nose ridge refining
Additionally, it should be noted that our PCL Nose Thread Lift won’t change the structure of the cartilage, so those who wish to significantly reduce the size of their noses may not benefit from this procedure. It is also not beneficial for individuals who wish to resolve breathing issues since our nose threads do not widen the nasal passages.
Recovery and Aftercare
Our PCL Nose Thread Lift has very little downtime. Some may experience mild swelling and bruising over the next 3 to 5 days after the procedure. However, you may be able to carry on with your day-to-day activities immediately after.
Other post-treatment care that you should keep in mind include the following:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours
- Avoid touching the area around your nose thread lift
- Avoid facials and facial massages for ten days post-treatment
- Avoid applying make-up to the area for at least 12 hours after the procedure to give your skin time to settle
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for seven days as these may inhibit your skin’s healing response
- Use sunscreen of at least SPF 30++ and re-apply at least once within the day
