TESSLIFT Threads is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical alternative to Rhinoplasty surgery that uses a combination of various threads to rebuild the nose without cutting or implanting any foreign substances. TESSLIFT Threads can be used for rhinoplasty at any age, even in the over 65. Unlike an implant, dermal thread lift is a process without any swelling, visible scars and no migration.
In this article, we take a look at everything you need to know about rhinoplasty using TESSLIFT Threads.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed. It involves reshaping the nose to improve its appearance and function. Rhinoplasty can be performed for purely aesthetic reasons or to correct a birth defect or injury.
There are two general types of rhinoplasty: closed and open. In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nose, so no external scars are visible. In an open rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the columella (the strip of tissue separating the nostrils). This allows the surgeon better access to the inside of the nose for sculpting purposes.
Both types of rhinoplasty can be performed using either general anesthesia (you will be asleep during the procedure) or local anesthesia (you will be awake but your nose will be numbed). The type of anesthesia used will depend on several factors, including your preference and the extent of work being done.
After making incisions, the surgeon will then separate the skin from the underlying bone and cartilage. He or she will then sculpt these tissues to achieve the desired results. Finally, the skin is redraped over the new structure and any incisions are closed.
The entire procedure usually takes about two hours but may take longer depending on what exactly is being done. You can expect some swelling and bruising around your eyes for 1-2 weeks
Why Get Rhinoplasty?
There are many reasons why someone might choose to get rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job. For some, it’s a matter of appearance and they want a nose that looks more aesthetically pleasing. Others may have difficulty breathing due to structural issues with their nose and seek surgical intervention to improve their quality of life.
Rhinoplasty can also be used to correct birth defects or injuries that have left the nose misshapen. Whether you’re looking for cosmetic or functional improvement, TESSLIFT Threads offers an innovative solution that can give you the results you desire.
If you’re considering rhinoplasty, the first step is to consult with a qualified surgeon who can assess your individual needs and recommend the best course of action.

Scars and Scar Prevention
If you’re considering Rhinoplasty, one of the things you may be wondering about are scars. How visible will they be? And is there anything that can be done to prevent them?
First off, it’s important to know that most surgical procedures will result in some scarring. However, the good news is that with Rhinoplasty, the scars are usually very minor and well hidden. They are typically located inside the nostrils or along the base of the nose, so they are not easily seen.
There are a few things that can be done to help prevent or minimise scarring. First, make sure you choose an experienced and reputable surgeon who uses the latest techniques. Second, follow all of your surgeon’s pre and post-operative instructions carefully. Third, don’t smoke before or after surgery as smoking can delay healing and increase the risk of infection.
While scars are inevitable with any surgery, S & S Aesthetics also offers advanced laser treatments with the Harmony XL Pro Laser, which can reduce scarring and improve the good health of your skin.
How Does It Feel to Have a Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed today. As we age, our noses can lose definition and become bulbous or droopy. A rhinoplasty can address these concerns and restore balance to your face.
There will be some swelling and bruising after your surgery, but this will gradually dissipate over the course of a few weeks. Once the swelling has gone down, you will be able to see the new shape of your nose. And while it may take some time to get used to your new look, you will eventually feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.
Types of Rhinoplastsies
- Open rhinoplasty: An incision is made across the columella, the strip of flesh that separates the nostrils. The skin is then lifted off the underlying bone and cartilage, which allows the surgeon to sculpt the nose to their desired shape.
- Closed rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, so there are no visible scars. This approach limits the amount of correction that can be made, so it’s often used for minor reshaping or to correct structural problems.
- Rhinoplasty with TESSLIFT threads: TESSLIFT threads are inserted into the soft tissue of the nose through small incisions. The threads provide support and lift to the nose while stimulating collagen production. This type of rhinoplasty can be used for both cosmetic and functional purposes.
TESSLIFT Threads for Rhinoplasty
If you’re considering rhinoplasty, or a nose job, you may have heard of TESSLIFT threads. These threads are a special type of surgical thread that can be used to lift and shape the nose.
TESSLIFT threads are made of a material called polydioxanone (PDO). PDO is a synthetic absorbable polymer that has been used in medical sutures for many years. It is safe and well-tolerated by the body.
TESSLIFT threads are inserted into the skin using a needle. Once in place, they provide support to the tissues and help to lift and shape the nose. The threads are very thin and cause minimal tissue trauma. They are usually placed along the nasal bones or cartilage to provide support and structure.
The results of rhinoplasty with TESSLIFT threads are immediate and long-lasting. The threads will dissolve over time, but the results of your surgery will remain. This makes TESSLIFT an excellent option for people who want to avoid surgery or want to prolong their results.
If you’re considering rhinoplasty, talk to your surgeon about whether TESSLIFT threads might be right for you.
Conclusion
If you’re considering rhinoplasty and are looking for a minimally-invasive option that can deliver great results, TESSLIFT threads may be the right choice for you. These threads are incredibly versatile and can be used to achieve a wide variety of nose shapes and sizes. Best of all, the procedure is quick and easy, with little to no downtime required afterwards.
