If you are considering improving the shape of your nose because you are unhappy with it,

you have probably heard of nose-lifting procedures such as Misko or Hiko at least once.

They became very popular because they do not require an incision and are procedures rather than surgery, allowing for a faster recovery.

However, if you are considering nose surgery in the future,

it is worth looking at nose thread lifting from a slightly different perspective.

Nose thread-lifting procedures such as Hiko and Misko use special threads and fillers to raise and shape the nose.

However, because they do not change the underlying bone or cartilage structure of the nose, these procedures have clear limitations.

The photos above show the appearance before and after nose surgery, not nose thread lifting.

The change is clear and dramatic to anyone who sees it.

  1. If you want to raise a low nose significantly,

  2. If you want to straighten a crooked nose,

  3. If you want to refine a dorsal hump, and so on,

nose thread lifting may not provide a high level of satisfaction for these concerns.

Nose thread lifting can create simple visible changes,

but it cannot change the structure of the nose itself.

Before-and-after photos of the healing process following nose surgery

One of the critical limitations of nose thread-lifting procedures is that their effects are temporary.

As the threads dissolve and the filler is absorbed over time, the initial changes from the procedure may gradually diminish.

Many people then begin to wonder:

“Do I need to get the procedure again?”

“Should I have surgery this time?”

Although the initial financial burden may seem low,

repeated procedures can continue to require time and money as they accumulate.

Nose surgery is also much more expensive than a nose thread-lifting procedure

and, as shown in the photos, requires a relatively long recovery period.

Incision lines may be visible, and while the wounds are healing,

washing your face or carrying out daily activities may be affected.

However, after going through this short yet lengthy recovery period,

the shape and condition of the nose become almost permanently established.

The fact that the results are maintained for a long time is one of the advantages of nose surgery.

Nose-lifting threads that were inside the nose

In addition, if you have undergone nose thread lifting several times, fibrosis may develop inside the tissue,

or adhesions may form between the threads and the tissue.

Although the threads inserted into the nose are said to dissolve,

when performing surgery directly, there are often many undissolved threads remaining inside the nose.

Therefore, all of the threads used for lifting must be removed before nose surgery can be performed.

After the threads are removed, the tissue beneath the skin of the nasal bridge may be uneven, making it difficult to create a smooth surface during surgery.

It can also make dissection of the tissue inside the nose more complicated, increasing the difficulty of the surgery.

Of course, this is not the case in every situation, but such cases do clearly exist.

Because nose thread lifting is limited to natural-looking changes or minor enhancements,

if you want a significant degree of change, fundamental improvement, and long-term maintenance,

surgical treatment is often more suitable, and surgery may be the option to choose.

The scope of surgery includes more than simply defining the nose and raising the nasal bridge.

As shown in the photos above, it can also involve lifting a drooping nasal tip and shortening the length of the nose.

Rather than worrying about whether to choose “a procedure or surgery,”

it is important to choose an option that matches the changes you want and your goals.

If you are already seriously considering nose surgery and expect a clear, long-term change,

it may be more efficient to have a surgical consultation from the beginning to determine the method that is right for you,

rather than undergoing nose thread lifting or repeating the procedure.

Thread-lifting procedures such as Hiko and Misko certainly have their advantages.

However, if you want to improve the shape of your nose itself or are considering nose surgery at some point,

choosing nose thread lifting simply because it costs less per session, involves a quick recovery with little visible evidence, is a procedure rather than surgery, or because you are afraid of surgery

may not be the best option.

What matters more than a brief change is how accurately you can achieve the result you want.

If you are already considering nose surgery, you should consider not only the advantages of nose thread lifting but also its limitations and your plans for the future so that you can make a better choice.
