Thread lift nose augmentation - is it necessary to remove the threads after two years?

Generally, thread lifting rhinoplasty involves injecting protein threads into the nose to lift and shape it. The typical reference price for thread lifting rhinoplasty ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually observed within 1 to 3 months, although the procedure may cause localized pain, swelling, and other symptoms. Whether thread removal is necessary after two years depends on the type of threads used and postoperative reactions. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If absorbable threads were used in the thread lifting rhinoplasty, these materials will be gradually absorbed by the body after implantation. If the threads have been completely absorbed or degraded after two years and no adverse reactions such as rejection, redness, swelling, or infection have occurred, removal is generally unnecessary. Additionally, if non-absorbable threads were used but are well encapsulated by surrounding tissues and no adverse reactions are present, the threads have likely formed a stable structure with the surrounding tissues. Removing them could disrupt this stability and increase unnecessary risks, so removal is generally not required.

However, if non-absorbable threads were used and adverse reactions such as rejection, redness, swelling, or infection occur, these complications could lead to severe consequences such as skin breakdown and scar formation, necessitating prompt thread removal. Furthermore, if the threads shift or become exposed after implantation, this may affect both the appearance and function of the nose and could lead to complications such as infection, making removal generally necessary.

If required, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. Postoperatively, it is advisable to develop healthy lifestyle habits, maintain a proper balance between work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue to promote overall health.
