Do you want to change the shape of your nose, but are afraid of having surgery? Threaded nose implant or wire lift is considered a solution to this problem. But what exactly is meant by implanting nasal threads?
Nasal thread implantation is a procedure in which the thread is implanted in the area between under the skin and above the nasal bone to correct its shape and change the shape or angle of the nose to suit your preference. As reported by the SehatQ page, nasal thread implants can be performed using polydioxanone (PDO) threads that can be completely absorbed by the human body.
Unlike rhinoplasty, which requires a gradual and time-consuming procedure, threaded nose implants can be done quickly. In general, the process of implanting a thread in the nose takes less than an hour.
Therefore, this procedure is often referred to as “lunchtime nose job”. After performing the wire implantation procedure, a person can return to their normal activities.
What is the procedure for implanting nasal threads?
Before starting the nasal thread implant procedure, your doctor will usually apply a local anesthetic to the nose area. Then, the doctor will attach a thread along the bridge of the nose (nasal bridge) and the septum (wall that divides the nose in two). This wire installation aims to give an idea of what the next projection of the nose shape will look like.
This thread will be placed under the surface of the skin to make the bridge of the nose taller. In addition, the nasal thread implant also provides a stimulus for collagen formation so that the nose becomes sharper.
For the record, the number of implanted wires can vary according to each person’s needs. Usually before the procedure is performed, the patient will consult with the doctor about the desired nose shape and the number of threads needed. Changes in the shape of the nose will be immediately visible after the procedure.
Is there a risk?
Yup! Like most cosmetic procedures, the nasal thread implant procedure also has its risks. One of the risks is infection. This can happen if the procedure is performed carelessly, using non-sterile equipment, or by a person not competent to perform the nasal thread implant procedure.
There is also a risk of an allergic reaction which can result from the use of anesthetics or even from the threads used in this procedure. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out an allergy test in advance or to seek complete information on this topic.
Also, when the thread is inserted too deep, it can cause discomfort or even not have the desired effect. If someone doesn’t like the results of the nasal thread implantation that has been done, there is no way to change it. However, the results of nasal thread implantation will disappear on their own after 1-2 years.
Reduce your risk factors
In order to prevent complications or other problems, here are some things you need to pay attention to to reduce your risk factors when performing the nasal thread implant procedure.
1. Understand the process and the risks that can arise.
2. Find a doctor or clinic that has a reputable reputation.
3. Don’t immediately believe positive testimonials. You should learn more about the doctor’s performance before deciding to use his services.
4. Ask your doctor for a full explanation of the nasal thread implant procedure and what you will experience during and after the procedure. Reputable doctors usually do not hesitate to provide comprehensive information on the medical actions they perform.
5. Consider all the changes that may occur, including the reactions of the body that will be experienced.
