Why is it not recommended to do a thread nose surgery?

Many people who love beauty are going further and further on the road of pursuing beauty. Simple skin care and fitness can no longer fully meet their requirements for beauty, so some people will choose to go to a beauty hospital for plastic surgery, among which thread nose sculpture is a popular cosmetic surgery. When you first see the name of thread nose carving, you can probably know its beauty principle. The editor here recommends that you do not undergo this surgery. I will briefly use a few points of the harm of thread nose carving to explain the reasons for opposition, as follows:

1. Thread-carving rhinoplasty is a false concept

People who seek beauty treatments undergo thread-lifting rhinoplasty in the hope of making their originally short and flat nose taller, straighter and more beautiful, right?

First of all, let us understand what the thread of thread-carving rhinoplasty is. Thread-lift rhinoplasty uses high-hardness absorbable sutures with bidirectional barbs. Why are they called sutures? High-strength absorbable sutures with bidirectional barbs are also called serrated sutures, and are now also used in face-lift plastic surgery.

At present, the components of thread carving materials are mainly absorbable suture materials, such as PDO, pPDO, PGA, etc., which are actually variations of absorbable sutures (serrated threads). It will be slowly absorbed after entering the human body tissue. The barbs on the thread will be absorbed in about 3 months, and the remaining thread will gradually be absorbed in about half a year. In other words, about three months after the thread rhinoplasty, the thread in the nose will have no barbs and no pulling ability.

2. Principles of Rhinoplasty

Thread rhinoplasty implants a serrated thread into the nose, which creates traction through the barbs to lift up the tip of the nose. The tip of the nose is pulled up and becomes tilted, which creates a visual illusion - my nose has become higher. But in fact, only the tip of the nose became upturned, and other defects of the nose remained unchanged.

Simply pulling up the tip of the nose to make it look more upturned will not improve other defects of the nose, and the inside of the nose, especially the tip of the nose, will not have any support. This is not a true rhinoplasty. The serrated wire only has pulling ability but no supporting ability. What rhinoplasty needs is the supporting ability from inside the nose. The serrated wire cannot play a supporting role. Therefore, the so-called thread-carving rhinoplasty is completely useless in improving the appearance of the nose.

3. The thread easily penetrates the skin

In other articles, I have mentioned that an L-shaped prosthesis is placed at the tip of the nose. The L-shaped prosthesis presses the nasal cartilage downward and the skin tissue of the tip of the nose upward. The L-shaped silicone prosthesis clashes with the alar cartilage and the skin of the nose tip. In any case, it is the human nasal tissue that is deteriorated.

The same principle applies to thread-lift rhinoplasty. The area where the sutures contact the tip of the nose is very small, so the pressure on the skin of the tip of the nose is particularly great. The skin of the tip of the nose and a bunch of high-hardness and relatively thick sutures collide with each other. Over time, what changes will occur to the tip of the nose?

4. The main stress points of the nose skin after thread-lift rhinoplasty

We all know that when performing comprehensive rhinoplasty and using autologous cartilage to extend the nasal septum and raise the nose tip, the doctor will place cartilage at the tip of the nose to protect the skin of the tip of the nose. However, in thread rhinoplasty, the skin on the nose tip has no protection at all. After a long time, the skin on the nose tip will become raised, red or black. Some patients even think that it is acne, but in fact it is a sign of infection and surgery is needed to remove the threads.

The tip of the nose is infected, red and black. If this condition is not treated promptly, as the infection worsens, the skin at the tip of the nose will ulcerate, eventually causing the implanted sutures to pass through the tip of the nose, and even causing necrosis of the skin at the tip of the nose.

It is a very normal idea to want to become beautiful, but the consequences of choosing the wrong way are often beyond your ability to bear.

5. Thread-carving rhinoplasty is prone to infection

Some patients may ask: "The skin on the tip of my nose is very thick, so the chance of it being pierced should be small. Will it be okay if I undergo thread-lifting rhinoplasty?" Once again, thread-lifting rhinoplasty is a pseudo-concept. It does not have the support required for rhinoplasty, and it cannot effectively improve the appearance of the nose, so it has no practical significance.

Currently, most of the companies that vigorously promote thread-carving rhinoplasty in the market are private plastic surgery studios and beauty salons. After all, thread-carving rhinoplasty is less difficult to perform than traditional prosthetic rhinoplasty and has greater profit margins. I won't say much about the old topic of illegal medical practice. The primary problem with this kind of private workshop is that the surgeon's surgical experience and skills cannot be guaranteed. The human nose is densely distributed with nerves and blood vessels, and it can be injured if you are not careful.

Another very important point is that the operating environment, sterile conditions, disinfection and anesthesia operations in private plastic surgery studios and beauty salons are all under uncontrollable conditions and the risks are very high. If the disinfection is not thorough during the operation, or if the implant is performed improperly so that the thread ends are exposed, it can easily lead to local infection. Once infection occurs, the implanted sutures will be rejected in the nose. If not treated in time, local skin rupture or suture penetration will occur.
