Are you curious about enhancing your nose without undergoing surgery? A nose thread lift is a fast, minimally invasive procedure that delivers a more defined, lifted nasal profile with zero incisions and minimal downtime. At View Plastic Surgery in Seoul, the procedure is especially popular among international patients seeking safe and natural-looking results in a short time frame.
In this guide, we walk you through the step-by-step experience of getting a nose thread lift at View Plastic Surgery—from booking to recovery—so you can feel informed and confident before your visit.
🌐 Step 1: Initial Online Consultation (For International Patients)
Before arriving in Korea, international patients can schedule a virtual consultation with a facial contouring specialist at View. Here’s what happens:
- Share clear facial photos from the front and sides.
- Discuss your goals (higher nasal bridge, refined tip, symmetry, etc.).
- Learn if you’re a good candidate for a thread lift or if a combination with fillers or surgical options is better.
- Receive an estimated quote and suggested travel duration.
🗣️ Multilingual coordinators are available in English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and more to ensure smooth communication.
🏥 Step 2: In-Person Consultation and 3D Facial Analysis
Once you arrive at View Plastic Surgery in Seoul, your journey begins with an in-person consultation.
What to Expect:
- Medical history review and any allergies or sensitivities
- 3D facial scanning to evaluate your facial structure
- Discussion of desired nose shape and proportion in harmony with your face
- Creation of a customized treatment plan (e.g., bridge lift, tip refinement, straightening)
At this point, your doctor will explain:
- The number of threads needed
- The technique (parallel or anchor threading)
- Potential results and how long they’ll last
🖥️ You’ll even see before-and-after simulations based on your actual facial structure.
💉 Step 3: Pre-Procedure Preparation
Once you confirm the procedure, a nurse will guide you through the following steps:
- Cleanse the nose area
- Apply topical numbing cream for about 20–30 minutes
- Inject local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort during the thread insertion
Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, no general anesthesia or sedation is required.
🔧 Step 4: The Nose Thread Lift Procedure
This part takes approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the complexity.
The process:
- Your doctor inserts sterile PDO threads using a blunt-tipped cannula.
- Threads are carefully placed along the bridge and/or tip to lift and define the nasal line.
- The doctor shapes the threads gently under the skin, ensuring symmetry and proportion.
- No cuts, incisions, or stitches are involved.
You’ll be awake and comfortable throughout, and most patients report only mild pressure or tugging sensations.
🪞 Step 5: Immediate Results and Aftercare Instructions
Once the threads are in place, you’ll be shown your instant before-and-after results in a mirror. The change is immediately visible, and results will continue to improve over the following weeks.
You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions, including:
- Avoid pressing or massaging the nose for 1–2 weeks
- Sleep on your back for the first few nights
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and facial massages for 7 days
- Use cold compresses if needed to reduce swelling
View also provides soothing care treatments (like LED light therapy or cold packs) to minimize downtime.

This level of support helps international patients feel secure even after they leave Korea.
