Hiko Nose Lift
Getting a perfect nose through Hiko Nose Lift is a personal preference, and two factors help determine this: measurements and statistics to plan essential treatments, and considering your opinion to ensure satisfaction. Non-surgical Rhinoplasty (HIKO) uses medically designed threads to adjust the nose bridge, angle, and tip. This is done through a simple injection, inserting the thread through the bridge, nose tip, skin between nostrils, and alar. The thread acts as a scaffold, supporting living tissue and stimulating growth, resulting in better results than other procedures. Supplementary fillers are also inserted to mold the desired shape.
Read the Common Questions on Hiko Nose Lift
A Hiko Nose Thread Lift: What Is It?
One rapid, minimally invasive nose lift technique that can be done in an outpatient setting is a Hiko nose thread lift. Some refer to it as the “lunchtime nose job” because, like other common thread lift operations, like eye thread lifts, it can be completed in a typical office visit and requires little recuperation time.
A Hiko thread lift modifies the nose’s form using surgical sutures, usually polydioxanone (PDO). To create the patient’s perfect nose, the threads are put into the nasal tissues, like this.
- A smaller nose
- A nasal profile that is more “strong” or straight
- A more uniform nose tip and bridge
- A pointier nose tip
- A higher bridge of the nose
The one significant drawback is that Hiko threads raise the nose, making it challenging to use this method to have a rounder or flatter nose.
What Is the Hiko Nose Lift Price?
Hiko Nose Lift Price range is $250 to over $1,000. The following variables could impact the procedure’s cost:
- Whether the entire nose or just the tip is being treated
- How many sutures are needed?
- How striking the intended outcomes are
- Whether the practitioner applies dermal fillers to improve outcomes even more
How do they operate? What consequences result?
The Effect of Collagen
Inflammation from thread insertion leads to the development of immature collagen fibers. Collagen is stimulated as the body naturally absorbs the PDO thread material, a process that occurs gradually and helps to sustain and enhance additional effects. The effects of collagen can endure for 18 months.
Effect of volume
The three-dimensionally constructed Ultra V Hiko nose threads give the nose more volume. They serve as a framework for shaping the nose to the appropriate height and form. They instantly raise the nose, giving it a more perfect and defined contour.
Enhancements in appearance
Hiko offers enhancements in the following domains:
- Making the nose bridge higher
- Extending and raising the nose tip
- Making the nostrils sharper

Comparing Nose Filler and Hiko Threads
- Hiko threads can be applied either in addition to or in place of nasal filler.
- Unlike filler, threads do not spread and result in a “Avatar” nose.
- Unlike nasal filler, threads do not carry the risk of blindness.
- Compared to filler, threads provide the nose bridge and tip a considerably more defined and slender appearance.
- Though not as much as filler, threads can raise the nose bridge.
Does the process hurt?
Patients rarely complain of pain when under local anesthesia. They might experience a little pressure when the threads are being introduced, at most.
How much downtime is involved in the process? After treatment, when can the patient usually return to work?
Because of the local anesthesia, some swelling is unavoidable. Usually, this goes away after a few hours. Along the nasal bridge, there may also be some minor bruising, but this goes away on its own in a few days. Once the Hiko nose threadlift is completed, patients can continue their regular activities and cosmetics application without any real limitations. All of our patients have been able to go back to work on the same day thus far.
In a thread lift, how many threads are used?
For a full nose thread lift, 10–14 threads are needed. However, it can differ from person to person.
How can a nasal thread lift affect your quality of sleep?
For at least a week following the treatment, sleep upright with your head supported by a pillow and refrain from applying pressure to your nose.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Benefits
- It will only take 6 to 8 months for the threads to naturally dissolve in your body if you are unhappy with the appearance because the results are temporary.
- No downtime occurs.
- Incredibly secure and efficient.
- Patients can pick up where they left off with their regular activities and employment.
- Compared to standard Rhinoplasty, it is less expensive.
Side Effects of Hiko Nose Thread
The Hiko nose threadlift is a safe procedure with minimal risks, including temporary swelling and bruising, blindness, skin necrosis, and vessel occlusion. Infections like cellulitis and abscesses can occur due to the foreign body nature of the threads, but sterile techniques, antibiotics, and skin hygiene can minimize this risk. Nasal deviation may occur due to incorrect thread placement, and it is crucial to choose an experienced practitioner.
The most common material choice for threads is Polydioxanone (PDO), which is absorbable and absorbs within 6 to 12 months. Over time, the PDO fibres stimulate the nose’s soft tissue to produce collagen and connective tissue, improving the nose’s profile. The total longevity of the nose threadlift is about 1 to 2 years for most patients. The procedure is typically performed by an experienced practitioner, as the threads can be difficult to remove once inserted.
Is dermal filler for the nose less dangerous than the Hiko Nose thread lift? Why, if so?
Compared to dermal fillers for the nose, the Hiko nose threadlift is unquestionably far safer. Blindness and skin necrosis are the two main side effects of dermal fillers in the nose that result from the filler material obstructing the veins during injection and then obstructing the ophthalmic vessels. There is very little chance of vessel occlusion with Hiko nasal threadlift, and no problems from threadlift-induced vessel occlusion have been documented to date.
