Cambridge’s HIKO Nose Thread Lift is a popular non-surgical way of enhancing the shape of the nose and improving its contours, without any surgery.
It is able to raise the nose bridge & nose tips, making it higher, straighter and more defined without invasive nose implant surgery. It also avoids concerns over the use of fillers migrating or causing lumps. After doing the HIKO Thread Lift the nose appears slimmer and more elegant.
It is especially suited to straighten the nose, give a contoured definition and also works as a crooked nose treatment.
Compared to traditional rhinoplasty, which involves surgery and incisions, this procedure is non-surgical, minimally invasive with low downtime.
HIKO Nose Thread Lift Technique V.S. Original Korean Ultra
HIKO Nose Thread Lift is very popular in Korea and Japan where it is commonly known as the “lunch-time” nose lift.
The threads used are called PDO (polydioxanone) and they are completely absorbed over time. As they dissolve, these ultra-fine threads create new tissue fibroblasts and collagen, giving a tightening effect and further enhancing the nose contour.
Results last up to 2 years. Nose thread lifts are safe and can be repeated if one desires more definition.
| HIKO THREAD LIFT | FILLER |
|---|---|
| Lasts up to 2 years | Lasts < 1 year |
| Does not migrate | Migrates or spreads (May broaden the nose) |
| Stimulates natural collagen production | - |
| - | May cause lumpiness |
Nose augmentation using fillers is a quick procedure that lasts about 9 months to 1 year. The concern with fillers is that it tends to migrate or spread over time, which could lead to a broader looking nose. Fillers are also known to occasionally cause lumpiness which is undesirable.
Nose augmentation using Hiko Thread Lifts, on the other hand, lasts up to 2 years, making it longer-lasting as compared to fillers. Unlike fillers, thread lifts do not migrate or spread over time. As the nose threads dissolve, it has the added advantage of stimulating collagen production so that the nose still looks naturally defined.
| HIKO THREAD LIFT | RHINOPLASTY |
|---|---|
| Non-surgical minimally | Surgical & invasive |
| Topical numbing cream | Requires sedation |
| Low to zero down-time (0 to 1 days) | Long recovery time (3 months to 1 year) |
| Procedure takes 20mins | Surgery takes 2 hours |
Rhinoplasty surgery is an alternative way of shaping the nose. While the results of a rhinoplasty are very long-lasting, it is a surgical and invasive procedure that requires full sedation. It typically involves a long recovery time of 3 months to 1 year. In addition, the high cost of a rhinoplasty makes it quite unattractive.
HIKO Nose Thread Lift, however, is non-surgical and minimally invasive. The procedure takes just 20 minutes and requires only topical numbing cream. There is virtually no downtime. On rare occasions where there is slight redness, it will go away in 1 day.
With an experienced doctor such as Dr Lee Mun Heng, the Hiko Nose Thread Lift is an excellent way to contour the nose. The insertion of threads itself is safe and pain-free. In the following, we detail the factors and quality of nose thread required for a successful nose thread lift procedure.

Thread lifts are safe and a good minimally invasive option for those who want to contour and define their nose without undergoing rhinoplasty.
PDO threads are used in a nose thread lift are medical biopolymers used in sutures during surgical operations. There are virtually no problems with allergic reactions to PDO threads.
The process of inserting the threads are generally pain-free or mildly painful for some.
There is no better treatment, but rather one more suited to your needs. Fillers are a preferred option if you want to add volume and shape to a low nose bridge. You should opt for thread lifts if you desire a thinner and sharper nose.
A combination of both a thread lift and fillers could provide a more pronounced effect and lasts longer.
Depending on the individual, about 6 to 12 threads will be required for a nose thread lift.
Try sleeping in a way that avoids pressure on the nose for about a week after your procedure. Ideally, you should sleep on your back with your head propped on a pillow to minimise swelling.
