Many people want to have a fine and straight nose, but they are afraid to go under the knife and worry about the irreversibility of the surgery. Therefore, rhinoplasty with threading is a popular choice of rhinoplasty treatment in recent years, and this article organizes the lazy person's package of rhinoplasty with threading to help you analyze the principle of the treatment, the advantages and disadvantages, and compare the three types of rhinoplasty treatments, as well as to tell you how to judge whether you are suitable for rhinoplasty with threading or not?
Rhinoplasty Treatment Principle
Also known as nasal sculpting thread, thread augmentation, using a needle hole in the tip of the nose, the human body can absorb the protein thread, implanted in the nose by minimally invasive techniques, using the barb on the thread to lift and the angle of implantation by the doctor to achieve the effect of sculpting a straight nose.
The wire embedded rhinoplasty is not only embedded into the bridge of the nose, but is usually combined with injections of collagen or hyaluronic acid, just like the concept of reinforcing steel and cement, the filler forms a cement-like structure, and then the wire is used as a scaffolding, that is, a soft steel bar to support the nose, and when the two work well together, they can construct a nose structure with a sense of prosthetics.
Advantages of rhinoplasty
1、Rapid treatment, immediate effect
The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes, which is much faster than the several hours of surgery for a prosthetic rhinoplasty, and the results can be seen after the wires are embedded.
2、Micro-invasive wound, short recovery period
The minimally invasive technique of rhinoplasty involves only a small hole at the tip of the nose when the protein threads are implanted. Therefore, there will be no obvious scars after rhinoplasty, and you can resume your normal life quickly, and some patients may have a slight swelling sensation after implantation of the threads, which can be improved significantly in about one week.
3、Composite technology, high degree of precision carving
By pairing treatment with fillers such as hyaluronic acid through wire support, you can fine-tune the ideal nose shape, enhancing the root of the hill while modifying the tip and head of the nose.
Disadvantages of rhinoplasty
1. Limited maintenance time
The threads used in rhinoplasty are usually absorbed by the body 6-8 months after the surgery and are not permanent, so the procedure needs to be repeated after a certain period of time.
2、Limited adjustment of nose shape
The threaded rhinoplasty is a relatively minor adjustment of the nose shape, but for complex nose shapes or nose shape problems that require major changes, it is not possible to achieve the desired results in one go. In addition, since the number of threads that can be implanted is different for each person, it is impossible to know in advance how much more straightness can be achieved after the surgery.
Who is suitable for rhinoplasty?
1、Those who have contraindications to rhinoplasty surgery
If you are suffering from a lack of roots, a collapsed nose, a flat nose, etc., but are afraid to undergo surgery, or if you want to simulate the aftermath of a rhinoplasty, you can try a buried rhinoplasty to evaluate whether you want to undergo a permanent rhinoplasty or not.
2、Those who have done rhinoplasty with fillers for many times but the effect is not good.
If you have tried hyaluronic acid or other microdermabrasion injections to adjust the shape of your nose, but are not satisfied with the results and would like to have a more refined nose, you can make more detailed modifications through the embedded wires, and even if you are not satisfied with the results of the embedded wires, you can still remove them.
3、Pursuing quick beauty change, unable to repair for a long time.
For those who want a quick solution to their nose shape problem without recovery period, rhinoplasty with threading is very suitable for those who want a quick surgery time, short recovery period and immediate results.
Unsuitable candidates for rhinoplasty
1、Fillers not yet metabolized
If you have previously injected fillers into your nose (e.g. microcrystalline ceramic) and have not fully metabolized them, it is recommended that you do not undergo a threaded rhinoplasty in the first place.
2. Those who have implanted prosthesis
People who have undergone rhinoplasty and have a prosthesis in their nose are not suitable to undergo the thread augmentation procedure because of the possibility of infection.
3、Those who have high expectation for nose shape improvement
After all, rhinoplasty is not a rhinoplasty surgery, and it cannot change the structure of the nose substantially. It is recommended that people with more complicated nose shape problems consult a doctor first to discuss the appropriate rhinoplasty treatment.
