Focal swelling after nose threads, if I remove all the threads will the scar be visible?

lightsangNov 11, 2017
1 month ago I did PDO nose threads, and it began to be focal swelling and erythema so I came to the doctor - he ( aesthetic dermatologist )removed the invisible thread (not all). 3 days after removal, other threads began to swell, why ? Should I have all the thread removed ? Or I should go to plastic surgery ? If I want all threads removed, will the scar visible ?

Thank you for your question. Small dents after a thread lift are not uncommon. Luckily, they often resolve on their own. If not, your provider can use a small amount of filler to correct it. Regardless, you should definitely let your provider know what is going on. Best of luck to you.

Hi there, I would suggest waiting 4-6 weeks for the swelling and inflammation to resolve before undergoing a threadlift procedure , so as not to affect the efficacy of the threads.

Thank you for your question. Typically, I recommend waiting at least 2-3 weeks before returning to your normal exercise routine. Please make sure you consult with your provider. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
