HIKO Nose Thread Lift in Seoul

👃 What Is a HIKO Nose Thread Lift

A HIKO Nose Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special type of dissolvable thread (often a fine suture material) to lift, reshape, or enhance the nose’s bridge and tip — without surgery, implants, or lengthy downtime.

Instead of reshaping bone or cartilage, the thread acts like an internal scaffold: it lifts or defines the nose profile, and over time stimulates collagen around the thread, helping support the new shape as the thread dissolves.

🎯 What HIKO Nose Thread Lift Can Improve

This procedure is often chosen when people want to:

• Raise or enhance a low or flat nasal bridge
• Add subtle height or definition to the nasal dorsum (bridge)
• Refine or slightly elevate the nose tip (lift, slightly upturn)
• Smooth minor bumps or irregularities along the bridge by providing a more defined “line”
• Avoid synthetic implants, surgery, or long recovery — get a subtle enhancement with less risk

It’s especially popular among those who want moderate reshaping or enhancement rather than dramatic surgical rhinoplasty results.

🔧 How the Procedure Works (Typical Steps)

1. Facial analysis and discussion of desired nose shape (bridge, tip, profile).
2. Application of local numbing or topical anesthesia.
3. Insertion of the thread under the skin along nasal bridge or toward tip — often via a fine needle or cannula.
4. Adjustment to secure lift and shape.
5. Session typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on rope length and complexity.
6. Minimal downtime — often outpatient; patients can go home shortly after.

Because the threads gradually dissolve over months, newly stimulated collagen helps maintain shape after the thread disappears.

✅ Recovery, Healing & What to Expect

• Mild swelling or slight redness for 1–2 days — usually mild and manageable.
• Minimal discomfort — often described as mild pressure or light tightness.
• Inside a week or two, swelling subsides and contour becomes more visible.
• Over several weeks to a few months, collagen matures and helps stabilize the lift, making the result appear more natural and long-lasting.

Many people return to routine activity the same or next day, though they may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise or strong impact to the nose for a period.

🎯 Who Is a Good Candidate & When HIKO Is a Good Option

HIKO nose thread lift is suited for individuals who:

• Have a flat or low nasal bridge and desire modest enhancement
• Want a subtle, natural-looking improvement rather than dramatic change
• Prefer to avoid implants, general anesthesia, or surgical intervention
• Accept that results are moderate and temporary-to-semi-permanent, possibly requiring follow-up or maintenance

It is less suitable if you need major structural change (large nose deviation, broad base, dramatic tip changes, nostril reshaping) — those often require surgical rhinoplasty.

⚠️ Limitations & What It Cannot Do

• Cannot narrow wide nostrils, correct severe curvature or major cartilage deformities, or drastically reshape the nose.
• Results are subtle — not as dramatic or permanent as surgical rhinoplasty.
• Since thread dissolves eventually, maintenance may be needed, or slight shape regression is possible over years.
• Slight risk of unevenness, visible contour, or asymmetry during healing (rare if done properly).
• Not ideal for people needing major structural corrections or bust with unrealistic expectations.

🧴 Aftercare & Maintaining Results

• Avoid heavy impact, pressure, or trauma to the nose for a few weeks
• Sleep with face in elevated position to reduce swelling
• Use gentle skincare — avoid harsh treatments around nose until healed
• Wear sun protection — UV may affect skin healing or irritate treated area
• Depending on stability and desired look, consider follow-up or maintenance after 1–2 years (or as advised)
