Nose Threads
Nose Threads are absorbable barbed PDO cannula threads used by trained aesthetic practitioners for non-surgical nasal contouring. They are positioned for bridge definition, tip support, and subtle correction without implant surgery.
PDO is a synthetic polymer that degrades by hydrolysis. Barbed COG thread geometry helps tissue anchoring and tension control, while the material response supports collagen formation around the treatment track as the thread gradually absorbs.
PDO COG Threads for Non-Surgical Nose Contouring
Thread rhinoplasty is used where patients need sharper nasal definition with a minimally invasive approach. Longer threads are commonly selected for bridge support, while shorter threads are used around the nasal tip and columella for lift and projection.
Published literature describes PDO nose threads as a minimally invasive option with shorter recovery than surgery, while also noting that careful patient selection, sterile technique, and complication management are essential.
Available Variants
| Variant | Type |
|---|---|
| 19G 38mm (40) | Cannula COG |
| 21G 60mm (85) | Cannula COG |
Primary Uses
- Tip lifting for a drooping or downward-pointing nasal tip.
- Bridge definition for a sharper, more structured profile.
- Subtle correction of mild asymmetry or slight deviation.
- Collagen stimulation around the inserted thread pathway.
PDO Material Profile
- Synthetic absorbable polymer used in medical sutures.
- Hydrolyzes over approximately 6 months.
- Absorbable design avoids permanent implant material in tissue.
- Barbs improve load-bearing and tension maintenance.
Treatment Fit
Often considered for patients seeking mild-to-moderate nasal contour improvement, especially low bridge definition, under-projected tip, short columella, or broad tip appearance.
Assessment by a trained medical professional is required to determine anatomy, indication, thread choice, and procedural suitability.
Clinical Positioning and Safety Notes
- For professional aesthetic use only.
- Technique, insertion plane, and sterile handling strongly affect results.
- Possible complications reported in literature include infection, migration, extrusion, asymmetry, and irregularity.
- Patients should be counselled on expected duration, follow-up, and alternatives before treatment.
Tip Lift
Barbed COG geometry helps support nasal tip projection and rotation in suitable patients.
Bridge Definition
PDO threads can help create a cleaner bridge line without relying only on volumizing filler.
Absorbable PDO
PDO hydrolyzes over months and is used where temporary structural support is preferred.
Two Sizes
Available in 19G 38mm (40) and 21G 60mm (85) cannula COG variants for different treatment zones.
Nose Thread Details
Barbed COG Cannula Design
COG threads use barbs to anchor into tissue and maintain directional support. In nose contouring, this helps lift the nasal tip and define the bridge without adding the bulk that can occur with excess filler.
- 19G 38mm (40) cannula COG option for shorter nasal support zones.
- 21G 60mm (85) cannula COG option for longer bridge support zones.
- Cannula delivery format supports controlled placement by trained users.
Absorbable PDO with Collagen Support
PDO threads gradually absorb through hydrolysis. As they dissolve, tissue response can stimulate collagen and create a firmer support structure that may extend the visible lifting effect beyond the thread itself.
Recent clinical literature reports maintained nasal contour improvement for months after PDO thread procedures, while emphasizing that long-term safety and repeat-treatment timing still require more research.
Professional Use and Planning
Nose thread planning should consider nasal bridge height, tip projection, skin thickness, tissue mobility, asymmetry, previous procedures, and patient expectations.
- Use appropriate aseptic technique and post-procedure follow-up.
- Avoid over-treatment; repeated procedures can increase fibrosis risk.
- Escalate complications early, including suspected infection or thread protrusion.
