Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Director of Nose Lab Clinic.


Today, I want to share a case of Thread Lift Removal Rhinoplasty, where the patient suffered from discomfort and aesthetic dissatisfaction after a thread lift procedure performed at a traditional Korean medicine clinic. At Nose Lab, we addressed these complications through comprehensive surgical correction.


Initial Findings in Thread Lift Removal Rhinoplasty

The patient presented with:

  • Mild nasal obstruction

  • Residual 20–30 threads from previous thread lift

  • Aesthetic dissatisfaction due to long philtrum and protruding lips

  • Unnatural nasal shape

Preoperative Analysis

Frontal View Findings:

  • Bulbous nasal tip

  • Wide nose

  • Depressed columella

Side Profile Findings:

  • Protruding lips

  • Short nose

  • High nasal starting point

Nostril View Findings:

  • Asymmetrical nostrils

  • Wide and unbalanced shape

Surgical Plan and Execution

Removal of Threads and Foreign Material:

  • Thorough removal of residual threads and inflamed tissue.


Removed thread lift materials and inflammatory tissue after rhinoplasty correction surgery.
Removed Foreign Material

Structural and Aesthetic Improvements:

  • Septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage used to refine nasal tip

  • Columella extended and reinforced for facial balance

Functional Corrections:

  • Deviated septum corrected with septoplasty

  • Hypertrophic turbinates reduced with high-frequency laser to improve airflow

Key Insights

  • Complete Removal: Residual threads and foreign materials must be fully removed to prevent complications.

  • Comprehensive Approach: Functional and aesthetic aspects should be addressed together.

  • Reliable Materials: Rib cartilage ensures long-term stability.
