Review of Hiko Nose Thread Lift with Dr Rachel Ho

in Home, Lifestyle on 09/19/19

As medical aesthetics gets more commonplace in our society, non-invasive aesthetic treatments have become all the rage as such procedures have shorter downtime with effective results. One of the newest and most popular medical aesthetics treatment in Singapore is the Hiko nose thread lift, which is known as the lunch time nose job. The Hiko nose thread lift is a form of non-surgical rhinoplasty for a higher and sharper nose bridge and tip. I’ll be sharing my review and Hiko nose thread lift experience with Dr Rachel Ho.

La Clinic nose thread lift review

I visited Dr Rachel Ho at La Clinic to find out more about the Hiko nose thread lift.

Over the years, I have done a few aesthetic procedures (as long as it is not plastic surgery) to enhance my features so that I can be the best version of myself. These include nose fillers done about 3 years ago to elevate my nose bridge.

Compared to nose fillers, the Hiko nose thread lift is a new advancement and is safer as there is no risk of blindness; tissue necrosis (due to blockage of blood vessels) and broadening of nose bridge.

Why I Choose the Hiko Nose Thread Lift over Nose Fillers

I wanted a higher, sharper and slimmer nose after the results of my previous nose fillers had worn off. However, I am not ready for any nose surgery yet. There are two non-surgical treatments to achieve a slimmer and sharper nose – nose fillers and the Hiko nose thread lift.

La Clinic nose thread lift review

At one glance, Dr Rachel Ho noticed that my nose bridge has broadened due to the sideway migration of the hyaluronic acid nose fillers I have done years ago at another clinic, even before I could tell her that I had nose fillers done.

To the untrained eye, you would not have noticed it until Dr Rachel Ho pointed out that my central nose bridge was slightly “fat-looking” due to the spreading of fillers into the area between the eyebrows and inner eye corners. I was glad to have Dr Rachel Ho as my doctor for my nose thread lift as she understood the nose and face anatomy very well.

Dr Rachel Ho recommended that I do the nose thread lift procedure instead of nose fillers to reshape the nose bridge and improve the profile of my nose caused by the spreading of the previous nose fillers. I took an anti-bruising and anti-swelling medication before starting the procedure to reduce any pain and swelling.

What is a Hiko nose thread lift?

The Hiko nose thread lift is an alternative to nose fillers for non-surgical enhancement of the nose bridge and tip. By inserting dissolvable threads, it can raise the nose bridge and tip for a sharper, higher and slimmer nose. There is no downtime with the Hiko nose thread lift and the results are immediate.

The threads used for the Hiko nose thread lift are made of PDO (Polydioxanone). PDO have been used in sutures to close wounds in surgical operations and are dissolvable within months in the body and have been proven to be safe. The nose threads also stimulate new and natural collagen formation to keep the nose slim and sharp. The results of the Hiko nose thread lift can last between 1 to 1.5 years.

My Hiko nose thread lift treatment with Dr Rachel Ho

After assessing my nose, Dr Rachel Ho injected local anaesthetic into my nose to numb the entire nose. Pain level: 3 out of 10

After my nose was numbed, Dr Rachel Ho used a small needle to create a tiny entry point at my nose tip. This is for the nose threads to pass through my nose during the Hiko nose thread lift.

After that was done, Dr Rachel Ho then inserted the nose threads into my nose bridge and tip to give it more height and definition. Pain level: 5 out of 10

Throughout the procedure, Dr Rachel Ho was very gentle as she noticed that I was afraid of pain. She would stop for a few moments whenever she noticed my anxiety and also chatted with me about the things I like to blog about and the countries I have visited to help take my mind off the discomfort.

Immediately after the treatment, I could feel the threads tugging inside my nose (thankfully the feeling went away after a short while) and Dr Rachel Ho advised me not to be rough with my nose for 2 days after the nose thread lift.

How long did the Hiko nose thread lift take?

The whole session with Dr Rachel Ho took about 30 to 45 minutes.

Pictures taken AFTER my Hiko nose thread lift

You can see that my nose bridge was immediately sharper and higher after the nose thread lift. There is a small needle mark at the nose tip where the entry point was created for the nose threads.

I was happy that my nose bridge does not look so “fat looking” as before. My nose is also higher and slimmer, yet natural looking.

My Recovery after the Hiko Nose Thread Lift

I experienced slight soreness and bruises at the nose bridge that took around 4-5 days to recover after the Hiko nose thread lift.

The aftercare for my Hiko nose thread lift was very simple. Dr Rachel Ho prescribed an antibiotic cream to apply on my nose tip to prevent an infection. I was also prescribed anti-bruising and oral antibiotics.

I was able to return to work as normal the next day. I was also able to wear makeup the next day, except over the nose tip.

My thoughts of the Hiko nose thead lift 

La clinic hiko nose thread lift review

My nose is sharper and higher in a natural subtle way after doing the Hiko nose thread lift. I like that Dr Rachel Ho was very reassuring and gentle throughout the entire procedure and she could give me good advice on how to reshape my nose after my previous fillers had spread.

La clinic hiko nose thread lift review

If you are intending to do a non-surgical nose enhancement to improve your nose profile, the Hiko nose thread lift is a better choice as it is safe, has minimal risks, downtime and discomfort.

Dr Rachel Ho has a detailed explanation and review of the Hiko nose thread lift. You can read her post Hiko Nose Threadlift: All You Need to Know to find out how the Hiko nose thread lift works.

Their pasta is made fresh from scratch everyday for same day consumption, giving it a silky and velvety texture. Their Smoked Duck Carbonara is a popular one and I also love their Beef Bolognese, which focus more on the beef-based stew instead of the strong tomato flavor. I slurp the bolognese all up. 😋

You get to enjoy quality and delicious pasta on-the-Go that is reasonably priced. Their pasta dishes starts from $4.90 onwards. Do visit them if you are around J Cube!😋
