If you’re looking to enhance your nose without surgery, the Nose Thread Lift offers a quick, minimally invasive option with natural-looking results. At View Plastic Surgery in Seoul, this modern aesthetic solution is gaining popularity—especially among first-time patients and international visitors who want a refined nasal profile without going under the knife.
In this guide, we’ll explain what a nose thread lift is, how it works, what to expect at View Plastic Surgery, and why it’s an excellent choice for patients seeking subtle, yet noticeable nose enhancement.
👃 What Is a Nose Thread Lift?
A Nose Thread Lift is a non-surgical rhinoplasty that uses PDO (Polydioxanone) threads to reshape and contour the nose. These threads are inserted under the skin to:
- Lift and define the nasal bridge
- Sharpen and raise the tip
- Straighten minor crookedness
- Improve symmetry and height without implants
It’s often called the “HIKO Nose Lift”—from the Korean words for “high” (hi) and “nose” (ko)—and delivers instant results with little downtime.
📍 Why First-Time Patients Love It
For those who are curious about nose enhancement but aren’t ready for surgery, a thread lift offers:
- No incisions or scars
- No general anesthesia
- Immediate visible results
- A short 15–30 minute procedure
- A lower cost than surgical rhinoplasty
- Reversible and adjustable results over time
💡 It’s especially ideal for patients who want to try a nose refinement before committing to permanent surgical options.
🏥 What Makes View Plastic Surgery Ideal for Your First Nose Thread Lift?
1. ✅ Board-Certified Specialists
View Plastic Surgery’s rhinoplasty and thread lift team includes facial contouring experts who specialize in both surgical and non-surgical nose reshaping. They understand:
- Ethnic nasal structures (especially for Asian and international patients)
- Balance between the nose, chin, and forehead
