What Is a Nose Thread Lift?
A nose thread lift - also called a non-surgical nose job or nose threadlift - is a facial lifting treatment designed to enhance the contour of your nose using fine, biocompatible threads. These threads are inserted beneath the skin to physically lift tissues and stimulate collagen production over time.
Unlike rhinoplasty, there are no cuts, no implants, and no lengthy downtime. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia in the comfort of our aesthetic clinic, and most patients return to their daily routine the very same day.

The Nose Thread Lift Procedure: Step by Step
Here is exactly what happens during your nose thread lift appointment at SR Clinic:
1 Consultation & Assessment - Our doctor evaluates your nose shape, skin type, and aesthetic goals. We take photos and create a personalized treatment plan.
2 Topical Numbing - A numbing cream or local anaesthetic is applied to the treatment area. You will feel minimal to no discomfort.
3 Thread Insertion - Ultra-fine PDO or PCL threads are inserted via a tiny needle or cannula into the nose bridge and/or tip. The threads anchor into place, providing immediate lift.
4 Shaping & Adjustment - The doctor sculpts the desired shape by adjusting thread tension. This is done with precision to achieve symmetry.
5 Completion - The entry points are cleaned, and you receive aftercare instructions. The whole session takes 20-30 minutes.
