Introduction

A nose thread lift at Westwood Clinic offers a non-surgical way to enhance the shape and definition of your nose—without the downtime of traditional rhinoplasty. But one of the most common questions people ask before getting the treatment is: how long do the results actually last? In this guide, we’ll break down what to expect in terms of longevity, what factors affect the duration of results, and how to maintain that lifted, sculpted look for as long as possible.

What Is A Nose Thread Lift and How Does It Work?

A nose thread lift is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to reshape and enhance the contours of your nose using dissolvable threads. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which involves cutting and restructuring bone or cartilage, a thread lift is minimally invasive—with no surgery, no scars, and little to no downtime.

At Westwood Clinic, the treatment uses medical-grade threads made from PDO (Polydioxanone), PCL (Polycaprolactone), or PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)—all of which are biocompatible and safely absorbed by the body over time. These threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle to lift, support, and define the nose bridge or tip.

Once inserted, the threads:

Physically lift and contour the treated area.
Stimulate natural collagen production, which helps maintain results even after the threads dissolve.
Can be tailored to address specific concerns such as low nose bridges, uneven contours, or a droopy tip.

The entire procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. Many clients choose this treatment at Westwood Clinic as a safer, faster alternative to rhinoplasty, especially when seeking a subtle enhancement without dramatic structural changes.

How Long Do Nose Thread Lift Results Last?

The results of a nose thread lift can typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of threads used and individual factors such as skin quality, age, and lifestyle. At Westwood Clinic, we use premium-grade PDO, PLLA, or PCL threads, each offering different durations:

PDO (Polydioxanone): Lasts about 12 months. These threads dissolve faster but offer excellent lift and collagen stimulation.
PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid): Lasts around 12–18 months, with longer collagen-stimulating effects.
PCL (Polycaprolactone): The longest-lasting option, with results that may persist for up to 24 months.

Most patients notice immediate improvement in the nose shape right after the procedure. However, results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production is triggered, creating firmer, smoother, and more defined contours.

Over time, as the threads dissolve naturally, the results will gradually fade. However, thanks to the collagen regeneration process, many patients still retain a subtle improvement even after the threads have fully absorbed.

To maintain long-term results, some clients opt for touch-up sessions every 12–18 months—a service that Westwood Clinic provides with personalized treatment planning.

What Determines How Long Your Nose Thread Lift Results Will Last?

Several key factors influence how long the results of your nose thread lift will last. While the average duration ranges from 12 to 18 months, the exact timeline can vary significantly based on both internal and external factors:

Type of Thread Material
The material used plays a major role in durability:

PDO threads generally last about 12 months.
PLLA or PCL threads can last up to 18–24 months and stimulate longer-term collagen production.

At Westwood Clinic, we select the thread type based on your skin condition and aesthetic goals.

Number of Threads Used

More threads may provide better lift and structure, which can help the results last longer. A custom plan ensures the right number of threads is used for your specific nose shape and desired enhancement.

Skin Condition and Age
Younger skin with good elasticity tends to hold the threads longer and respond better to collagen stimulation. In contrast, mature or lax skin may need additional support or more frequent touch-ups.
Lifestyle Habits
Your daily choices impact longevity:

Sun exposure, smoking, and poor skincare can accelerate the breakdown of threads and collagen.
A healthy lifestyle with proper hydration and skincare helps maintain results longer.

Expertise of the Practitioner

Technique matters. At Westwood Clinic, experienced aesthetic doctors ensure precise placement and use advanced threading techniques, which significantly affect how long the results last and how natural they look.

How Can You Prolong the Results Of Your Nose Thread Lift?

While a nose thread lift can deliver impressive, immediate results, how you care for your skin afterward plays a big role in how long those results will last. With the right habits and supportive treatments, many clients at Westwood Clinic enjoy a well-defined, lifted nose appearance for well over a year. Here’s how to make the most of your treatment:

Prioritize Skincare and Sun Protection
Sun damage accelerates collagen breakdown and skin aging—two things that can shorten your thread lift results.

Always wear broad-spectrum SPF (especially on the nose)
Use gentle, hydrating skincare to support healing and collagen production

Embrace a Healthy Lifestyle

Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and avoid smoking
Quality sleep and stress management also contribute to better skin elasticity and longevity of results

Schedule Regular Touch-Ups
Around 12–18 months, consider booking a touch-up session to maintain the lift and shape. Westwood Clinic offers personalized maintenance plans based on your nose shape, skin type, and long-term goals.
Combine with Skin Boosters
Enhance your results with treatments like skin boosters, which deeply hydrate and improve skin texture. These can complement your nose thread lift and extend its visible effects.
