What will a PDO thread non surgical rhinoplasty do for a deviated nose?

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.

 A deviated nose can because from a variety of issues such as crooked nasal bones, concave and convex upper- Lateral cartilages, and asymmetrical nasal tip cartilages in addition to a deviation of the nasal septum itself. Surgery with a closed rhinoplasty approach is going to be required to make the nose more symmetrical and straight. Non-surgical treatments are not FDA approved for the nose.  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.
