When is it safe to get a rhinoplasty after a prior nose thread lift?

Doctor's Answers 1

The answer to your question depends on the type of material for the threads you are going to insert into your nose.

PDO threads can last to about 6-9 months. As such, it is safe to have a rhinoplasty 9 months after a nose thread lift unless threads of other materials are put in. PCL threads, on the other hand, would last about 18-24 months.

Alternatively, the surgeon can stack the implant on top of the threads before they are dissolved but that’s not advisable. As always, do consult your doctor before making any decision before going for more than one aesthetic treatments.

How can I reduce the protrusion of my upper lip?

In order to decide which method would most effective, we would need to assess and treat the cause of the protrusion. If it is due to protruding upper teeth which are flaring out and causing the lip to come forward, braces or Invisalign treatment would be ideal to reduce the protrusion. There may be a possibility that extractions of some teeth may be required to provide some space for the upper front teeth to move back into. Sometimes, it may be due to the imbalance of the upper and lower jaws.

How long should I wait before doing a correction after getting rhinoplasty done?

I’m sorry to hear that. Appropriate timing for surgical correction largely depends on what you are not satisfied with. Very often, post-surgical swelling can distort actual results in the early stage of recovery and you need to give it time to settle down. Some of the potential concerns that could occur which may be corrected in the early period of weeks to months include: 1. Notching of the nostril/ asymmetry of the nostrils 2. Large deviations of the nose 3. Hematoma in the nose 4.
