Non-surgical rhinoplasty through minimal invasive nose thread procedures: Adverse effects and prevention methods

Abstract

Background: This review addresses the intricacies of non-surgical rhinoplasty, particularly focusing on the utilization of absorbable sutures known as "Volumizing threads" in combination with fillers. The aim is to explore the enhanced precision of nasal contouring offered by these combined procedures compared to sole filler injections.

Methods: Through comprehensive clinical cases, this article scrutinizes the landscape of adverse effects and their prevention strategies associated with minimal invasive nose thread procedures. The discussion emphasizes various complications, including thread protrusion, migration, infections, skin dimpling, and granuloma formation, along with their respective management approaches.

Results: This article delineates cases of complications arising from thread placement, ranging from visibility issues to skin infections and granuloma formation. It highlights instances of thread visibility, oral mucosa protrusion, skin infections, dimpling, and granuloma formation. Additionally, it outlines the corresponding management strategies, accentuating the criticality of early intervention to preclude severe complications in non-surgical rhinoplasty involving nose threads.

Conclusion: Non-surgical rhinoplasty, leveraging nose thread procedures, offers heightened precision compared to conventional filler injections. However, the review underscores the importance of recognizing potential risks and promptly addressing complications like thread extrusion, migration, and infections. Understanding these complexities in non-surgical rhinoplasty aids in informed decision-making and efficient patient care.
