Nose thread lift in Singapore, especially HIKO nose threads in particular, have gained good popularity. Patients these day tend to ask which is better or a more cost-effective option – nose threads vs nose fillers?
Every individual’s nose is different. Some noses are more suitable for thread lifts, while some will benefit more from fillers.
So how do we identify which noses are more suitable for which procedure? Here are some common nose augmentation situations:
If you have a lower/flat nose bridge, fillers still make a better option as it provides a flat nose bridge with volume and shape.
For a very noticeable increase in nose bridge height/volume, more threads will be required for satisfactory results and that may not be cost-effective. Nose fillers might be a better option for these patients. Nose threads will be better suited for an individual who already has some height to their bridge, but just want more definition.`
Nose threads are very effective when it comes to creating a sharper and more defined nose.
Just like how many people contour their noses with makeup, getting threads for the nose can help you achieve this effect by giving it a lift from the nose bridge down till the tip.
Nose threads are more effective at creating a sharper nose tip than fillers. Most nose threads are designed with small tiny anchoring points (also known as cogs, or barbs) along the threads. These anchoring points lift the nose up and makes the nose tip sharper and smaller.
Too much fillers can actually cause the nose tip to look bigger. Certain fillers can also shift or spread over time, causing the nose to look broader instead! With threads, there is a smaller increase in volume and a scaffolding / tenting effect. This results in a sharper, more lifted tip compared to fillers.
Some people have bumps or ‘dents’ on their noses. This uneven-ness on the nose can be corrected with either fillers or threads.
The final choice of using either fillers or nose threads for bumps and dorsal humps will depend on the area of the bump/depression, individual condition and desired effect.
