Many beauty seekers are turning to thread lift nose procedures for a refined look without going under the knife. But a common concern remains: How long does a nose lift last? In this article, HBio Clinic breaks down how long results typically last, what factors affect them, and how to maintain your dream nose shape longer.
How Long Does a Nose Lift Last?
Thread lift nose procedures, also known as non-surgical nose jobs, involve inserting specialized threads—usually PDO, PCL, or Collagen—beneath the skin to lift and reshape the nasal bridge. While it offers a less invasive option compared to surgical implants, the results are not permanent.

Average Duration: 8 months to 2 years
The longevity depends on the thread material, your body’s metabolism, the practitioner’s skill, and how well you care for your nose post-procedure.
Key Factors That Influence How Long a Nose Lift Lasts
Type of Thread Used
-
PDO threads: Typically last 8–12 months.
-
PCL or premium Collagen threads: Last 12–24 months thanks to slower biodegradation and better collagen stimulation.
Your Skin & Body Type
Individuals with good skin elasticity and slower thread absorption may see longer-lasting results.
Practitioner’s Expertise
A well-trained professional can place threads precisely, ensuring stronger nasal definition and durability.
Post-Treatment Care
Sleeping on your side, applying pressure to the nose, or using improper skincare may shorten the effect.
What to Know Before and After a Thread Nose Lift
When deciding to have a nose job, there are some important things you need to know to ensure safety, effectiveness and long-term results. Here are some things to keep in mind before and after a nose job:

Before the Procedure
- The doctor must have a practicing certificate and be experienced in rhinoplasty surgery. You can refer to the address providing reputable rhinoplasty services, HBIo Clinic, to receive the best experience.
- The facility must be licensed by the Ministry of Health.
- Structural rhinoplasty: intervenes in the entire shape of the nose (bridge + tip + column).
- Cartilage-covered rhinoplasty: uses artificial cartilage combined with autologous cartilage.
- S-line, l-line, natural line rhinoplasty,…: depending on the face and needs.
- No chronic diseases, severe sinusitis, uncontrolled diabetes, etc.
- Stop using blood thinners (such as aspirin) at least 1 week before surgery.
- About the desired nose shape.
- About the materials used (artificial cartilage, autologous cartilage,…).
- Estimate the costs and possible risks.
After the Procedure

- Do not let water or dirt get into the incision.
- Do not wear glasses, do not lie on your side or face down for at least 1 month.
- Apply cold compresses for the first 1–2 days to reduce swelling, then switch to warm compresses.
Follow the follow-up schedule
- Avoid eating foods that can easily cause scarring and pus such as: chicken, seafood, sticky rice, water spinach.
- Drink plenty of water, supplement with vitamin C to help the wound heal quickly.
When to Seek Medical Help
Post-rhinoplasty care plays an extremely important role in helping the nose heal quickly, shape beautifully and avoid complications such as infection, deviated nose, fluid accumulation, etc. Below are detailed instructions for each stage:

First 3 days after rhinoplasty
- Apply cold compresses with ice packs or cold gel wrapped in a thin towel.
- Apply around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks — do not place directly on the nose.
- 10–15 minutes each time, 1–2 hours apart.
- Lie on a high pillow or use an extra pillow to promote good blood circulation.
- Avoid lying on your side or stomach as this can cause a deviated nose.
From day 4-7 after rhinoplasty
- Use cotton swabs and saline to gently wipe around the incision.
- Do not let facial cleanser or shampoo get on your nose.
Week 2 to 4
- Do not wear glasses.
- Avoid playing sports, running, jumping, bending over.
- Avoid: seafood, beef, spinach, sticky rice, spicy foods, alcohol.
- Eat: green vegetables, fresh fruits (vitamin C), soft, easy-to-digest foods.
After 1 month
- The nose begins to stabilize in shape.
- You can do light activities normally, but still avoid strong impacts.
- Regular check-ups as directed by your doctor (usually 1 month, 3 months, 6 months).
Signs you need to see a doctor immediately
- Deviated nose, drooping bridge, red tip of nose, discharge, high fever.
- Feeling of severe pain, lasting abnormally.
- Skin of nose is shiny, purple — may be a sign of necrosis.
