"Thread lift" for nose is not an actual lift but more like a filler using PDO The advantage of using threads as fillers as compared to HA (such as juvederm) is that it is solid and does not move, whereas liquid fillers spread and move and lose their form and structure easily. Having said that, thread filler is excellent for sculpturing the nose for minor defects, for augmentation of the dorsum , and for refining the tip of the nose. There is hardly any downtime, perhaps a couple of days if there are bruises. Generally it lasts for a couple of years but residual benefits can be seen for a longer time. Of-course, surgical rhinoplasty is still best for more major corrections, but "thread lifts" is good for many patients.
