Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. PDO threads should not be used in the nose and will never work for a deviated septum. Surgery is a much better option if you have a deviated septum. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Rhinoplasty is a very difficult endeavor, so your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience straightening crooked noses, surgically.
Dear Princessjazz99, Threads should not be used in the nose and they will not help correct a deviation. See some expert rhinoplasty surgeons to discuss your options. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Dear Bear Bear, You have a slightly week chin that could be easily corrected with chin augmentation surgery and this would definitely help provide a more balanced profile and stronger jawline which would help with the laxity in the skin. You may also consider making your cheek piercings...
The kind of elongated tear trough you show in the photo is something that experienced injectors see practically every day and can easily improve by the use of an injectable volumizer, such as Voluma XC for the malar (cheek) region and which, when injected properly, secondarily improves the tear...
I have tried Thread lift once and was not impressed. The amount of lift is limited and it is temporary( 9-12 months). Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation.
Thank you for your question and for providing a picture. Threads are great regardless of the brand. The inserted threads grip the skin underneath. These are usually inserted in a mesh-like pattern into the skin. Collagen begins to form around these threads, tightening the skin over time and i...
