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.
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
Postoperative Outcomes of Thread Lift Removal Rhinoplasty
Frontal View:
Narrowed bulbous tip
Balanced columella and symmetry
Side View:
Smooth nasal line
Improved philtrum proportion and lip balance
Nostril View:
Corrected nostril asymmetry
Natural and balanced shape
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.
Closing Remarks
This case demonstrates how Thread Lift Removal Rhinoplasty can resolve complications and restore both function and aesthetics. Patients experiencing discomfort after thread lifts should consult with an experienced specialist for tailored surgical solutions.
