What is a Nose Thread Lift?
Doctors agree that the profile of the ideal nose is angled at 115-130 degrees from the top, and 90-100 degrees from the bottom. A sharp nose with a high nose bridge tends to show up better in photos. A nose thread lift is a cosmetic and non-invasive procedure designed to achieve some of the following results:
- Higher nose bridge
- Smaller nose tip
- Straighter nose
- Contoured nose

Benefits of a Nose Thread Lift
Typically, people undergo a nose thread lift for one of two main reasons: cosmetic or corrective purposes. While for some a nose thread lift may be necessary (e.g., in correcting a birth defect), many choose to undergo this procedure to look better and gain confidence.
Here are the benefits of getting a nose thread lift:
- Prettier nose
- Increased confidence
- Lasts longer (up to 2 years) compared to nose fillers (less than 1 year)
- Does not migrate and risk widening the nose
- Stimulates natural collagen production
Nose Thread Lift Procedure
A nose thread lift, or “lunchtime nose job” as it is nicknamed, is a quick procedure that can be completed in under an hour. Before the actual procedure, the doctor will inject an anaesthetic into your nose and the surrounding area. Then, fine threads will be placed horizontally along the nasal bridge and the septum for the height, to give projection to the nose, and vertically into the tip of the nose. The threads help “mould” your nose into your desired shape, while stimulating the production of collagen at the same time.
Nose Thread Lift Results
Only one session is needed to see results from a nose thread lift, with the initial results improving 4-6 months later. However, we recommend you schedule a follow-up session one year later, as this can help further prolong the effects of the nose thread lift.
Nose Thread Lift Risks
The risks associated with nose thread lifting are minimal. Having said that, infections, allergic reactions, pulling and lumpiness and bleeding could potentially occur. Like any other cosmetic procedure, we recommend you to consult our doctors for their professional opinion.
Advantages of Nose Thread Lift
As mentioned earlier, as a non-invasive procedure, nose thread lift is technically safer than fillers and surgical rhinoplasty. To date, there are no known reports of incidents concerning nose thread lift in the media.
Disadvantages of Nose Thread Lift
A nose thread lift might not be able to elevate the bridge of your nose as high as filers could. Unlike rhinoplasty, the effects of a nose thread lift are also not permanent: to maintain the initial effects, you’ll need to visit your doctor every 1-2 years. While it isn’t the most costly procedure, it’s also not cheap to get a nose thread lift.
How Much Does a Nose Thread Lift Cost in Singapore?
A nose thread lift costs $600-$2,000 in Singapore. Prices vary depending on factors such as how your nose is shaped, the skills and experience level of the doctor, the kind of effect you want to achieve, the brand and quality of the threads, and the number of threads used.

Is Nose Thread Lift Suitable for me?
A nose thread lift is suitable for adults aged 18 and above. This procedure is not recommended for those under 18 as it may risk disrupting the active growth and development of the nose. For reference, here are a few other groups of people who may benefit:
-
- People looking to correct a nose deformity (e.g., deviated septum, saddle nose)
-
- People who want to boost their appearance for greater self-confidence
-
- People who have never had surgical rhinoplasty (existing implants could complicate the procedure)

Nose Thread Lift v.s. Filler
A nose thread lift can last nearly twice as long as fillers. Overall, the former also comes with fewer risks than the latter.
| Aspect | Nose Thread Lift | Filler |
| Effects attained | Smaller nose tip, contoured nose, straighter nose | Higher nose bridge, straighter nose |
| How long effects last for | 1-2 years | <1 year |
| Risks involved | Minor discomfort or pain, swelling, infections | Migration of filler leading to unevenly-shaped nose |
| Downtime required | Little to none | Little to none |
| Cost | $600-$2,000 | $700-$850 |
Nose Thread Lift v.s. Rhinoplasty
For better or for worse, a nose job surgery can be a life-changing event. When you opt for rhinoplasty, the ideal outcome is for you to achieve your desired look the first time. Sometimes, however, the surgery may not go as planned (or worse still, goes wrong), and you may have to go for a second surgery, putting you at risk of complications once more. Comparatively, things are more straightforward with a nose thread lift.
| Aspect | Nose Thread Lift | Rhinoplasty |
| Effects attained | Smaller nose tip, contoured nose, straighter nose | Nasal asymmetry, nose size/shape/proportion relative to the face, difficulty in breathing as a result of structural problems, nostril size |
| How long effects lasts for | 1-2 years | A lifetime |
| Risks involved | Discomfort or pain, swelling, infections | Scarring, pain, discoloration, an uneven nose, permanent numbness, breathing problems |
| Downtime required | Little to none | Up to one year |
| Cost | $600-$2,000 | $3,000-$25,000 |
FAQ on Nose Thread Lift
1. Is Nose Thread Lift Treatment Painful?
Thanks to local anaesthesia, nose thread lift treatments are typically not painful. During the procedure, some people report experiencing a slight burning or prickling sensation. The pain experienced by the individual also depends on the type of thread used, anaesthesia used, individual pain tolerance and the extent of the procedure.
2. What are the Side Effects of a Nose Thread Lift?
After getting a nose thread lift, you may experience some swelling, tenderness, soreness and bruising in the nasal region. These symptoms should resolve by themselves in a few days.
3. How Long Does Nose Thread Lift Last?
A nose thread lift can last up to 2 years. It is not permanent as the PDO thread dissolves over 3-6 months time and becomes absorbed by the body. Due to increased collagen production, however, its effects may last longer. The collagen gives it extra definition.
4. How Do You Sleep After a Nose Thread Lift?
To minimise swelling, ensure there is as little pressure as possible on your nose for about a week after the procedure. For example, instead of sleeping face down, sleep in an upwards-facing position with your head propped on a pillow.
5. How Many Threads are Used in a Thread Lift?
Typically, 6-10 threads are used in a single thread lift session. This number may differ from person to person.
6. Do I Need to Visit the Doctor for Nose Thread Lift Aftercare?
A follow-up appointment might be necessary, but home/personal care is most important after a nose thread lift. Follow the tips below to care for your nose:
- Avoid alcohol for at least 2 weeks
- Refrain from applying makeup for at least 3 hours after the thread lift
- Avoid strenuous activities
- Avoid excessive heat exposure
7. Are Nose Thread Lifts Permanent?
No, nose thread lifts are not permanent. As their effects disappear after a maximum of 2 years or so, they can be a good option if you’re not ready or don’t want to commit to a permanent solution. If you’re sure about getting a nose job, you could opt for surgical rhinoplasty.
8. What Food to Avoid After Nose Thread Lift?
To prevent infections from developing, doctors recommend staying away from alcohol and spicy food for at least a few weeks after the procedure.
9. Are There Subsidies for Nose Thread Lift?
No, there are no subsidies for nose thread lift. A nose thread lift falls under the category of cosmetic surgery and is thus usually not covered by schemes such as Medisave and CHAS. However, if you’re getting a nose thread lift for medical purposes, your insurance provider may cover part of the cost.
