I got a nose thread lift in March and my body rejected the threads. It wasn’t until July all the threads came out. I started looking into rhinoplasty and the different materials used (silicone, autologous rib, cadaver rib and diced rib cartilage) but I’m wondering since my body rejected PDO threads, if I should avoid rhinoplasty altogether. Context, I have a low bridge and droopy nose, I was looking into getting a higher bridge and upturned nose. Is the chance of rejection higher?
