Hello, I'm interested in Y-Nose (Nose Thread Lift & Filler) at LAHYEON Plastic Surgery. Could you suggest a plan for me?
No booking until you confirm.
What Y-Nose is
Y-Nose is a non-incisional nose procedure that uses injection techniques instead of a scalpel to shape the tip and bridge. Your doctor first analyzes your facial proportions and nose structure, then designs the shape.
There are three types: filler for the bridge, a nose thread lift for the tip, or both combined. The change shows right after the procedure.
Nose thread lift with PDO threads
The nose thread lift uses dissolvable PDO threads to lift the tip and add volume to the bridge. As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen, so the result becomes firmer over time. The clinic states that the PDO threads it uses are FDA-approved.
A thread lift suits people whose main goal is a lifted tip. It typically lasts 12 to 18 months, longer than filler. Threads can be removed if needed.
Filler and combined Y-Nose
Filler rhinoplasty uses hyaluronic acid filler to raise the bridge and shape the tip. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes and lasts about 6 to 12 months. If you are unhappy with the shape, filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase or adjusted.
Combined Y-Nose uses filler on the bridge for height and threads on the tip for lift. It is suggested when you want to improve the whole nose, and it may last longer than either alone.
Y-Nose compared with surgical rhinoplasty
In the clinic's comparison, incisional rhinoplasty takes 2 to 3 hours under general anesthesia or sedation, with 2 to 4 weeks of recovery. Y-Nose takes 15 to 30 minutes under local anesthesia, swelling and bruising are mild and fade within a few days, and there is no incision scar.
Y-Nose cannot replace surgery for every nose. If you want a large change in height or structure, your doctor will explain whether rhinoplasty is the better option.
Aftercare
Daily life is possible from the same day, and makeup from the next day. Glasses are fine. Avoid strong pressure or massage on the nose for about a week, and wait 2 to 3 days before hard exercise or a sauna.

Questions
Does a nose thread lift hurt?
Local anesthesia is given first, so you mostly feel a brief sting from the needle. There is usually little pain afterward, and pain relief can be prescribed if needed.
When can I return to daily life?
Daily life is possible from the same day. Avoid strong pressure or massage on the nose for about a week, and wait 2 to 3 days before hard exercise or a sauna. Makeup is fine from the next day, and you can wear glasses.
Are there side effects?
Because no incision is made, the risk of side effects is low. Mild swelling or small bruises at injection points may appear right after and usually fade within a few days. Only FDA-approved products are used.
How long do Y-Nose results last?
A filler nose lasts about 6 to 12 months and a thread nose lift about 12 to 18 months. It varies with your body and lifestyle, and the combined treatment may last longer. Regular touch-ups can extend the effect.
Filler or thread lift: which should I choose?
Filler suits you if bridge height is the main goal, and a thread lift if lifting the tip is. For the whole nose, the combined Y-Nose is usually suggested.
What if I don't like the result?
Y-Nose can be adjusted. Filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase or reshaped with more treatment, and threads can be removed if needed, so the nose can be returned to its original state.
Can I have an MRI or CT scan afterward?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler and PDO threads do not affect MRI or CT scans. Tell the medical staff about the procedure so they can read the images accurately.
How much does Y-Nose cost?
The cost depends on the method, the products used and the area treated. An individual quote is given at consultation.
Results vary by person.
