The most important thing to look out for is to ask to see the doctor’s before/after results.
Nose threadlifts are easy to do, but highly difficult to give good, natural results.
There are certain technicalities of nose threadlift which are much more advanced and not taught by the Korean doctors (they usually teach very basic techniques as their courses are usually free and sponsored by the thread supplier – they like to keep doctors in that stage where they can do very basic threadlift, but are not good enough to give fantastic results – hence needing a lot of threads in the process; that creates more revenue for the supplier ).
Basically, PDO threads usually last around 6 – 9 months. It is the main nose thread approved for doctors’ usage in Singapore. I have heard from overseas doctors from Taiwan and Japan using PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) and PCL (Polycaprolactone) that these can last longer and give better results than PDO, but no scientific studies have been done on them yet. Thus, those are not allowed in Singapore currently.
I’d suggest to go to a doctor with fantastic before/after results, suits your budget, and is experienced with threadlifts per se, and uses the thickest 18G/19G barb threads (those give the most fantastic lifting). For example, I personally do not like to price the treatment according to the number of threads used – rather I charge a flat rate which guarantees a great result ( sometimes I use up to 10 x 18G barb threads for ladies, and 16 x 18g barb threads for men. I rather have lower margins and have fantastic results and happy returning patients who will recommend us to their friends.
Hope that helps you to make an informed choice!
