Nose Reshaping with MINT Threads and Dermal Filler: A Non-Surgical Alternative
If you’re looking for a refined, lifted, or straighter nose without surgery, a combination of MINT threads and dermal fillers can offer a powerful, minimally invasive solution.
What Are MINT Threads?
MINT (Minimal Invasive Non-surgical Thread) threads are made from PDO (polydioxanone), a material safely used in medical suturing for decades. These threads are barbed and designed to anchor and lift tissue. When used in the nose, they can:
• Raise the nasal tip (helpful if the tip droops or lacks definition)
• Straighten a mild hump or irregular bridge
• Narrow and define the nose’s appearance
The threads are placed under the skin, usually at the bridge and tip of the nose, and when gently pulled, they create a mechanical lift—giving immediate improvement. Over time, the threads stimulate your body’s own collagen production, enhancing the structural support and firmness of the treated area.
How Do Dermal Fillers Complement This?
Dermal fillers—usually hyaluronic acid-based—are used alongside threads to refine contours and add volume where needed. This is especially useful for:
• Smoothing out a small bump on the nasal bridge
• Creating a straighter nasal profile
• Adding subtle height or definition to a flat bridge
• Balancing asymmetries from the front or side view
Why Combine the Two?
Used together, MINT threads and fillers work synergistically:
• Threads lift and reposition the tissues
• Fillers enhance shape and volume where precision sculpting is needed
This combination can deliver results that look natural yet defined, with minimal downtime—usually just mild swelling or bruising for a few days.
Is It Safe?
When performed by an experienced medical professional, this procedure is very safe. However, the nose is an area with complex anatomy and a higher risk of complications, so it’s essential to seek a highly skilled injector with in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and a strong safety record.
Kind regards
