KOREAN NOSE THREAD LIFT
IN SINGAPORE BY DR HO
Besides a V-Shape face, the nose is another area where threads can be used to augment, enhance and shape the contours of the nose, thanks to the advancements in aesthetics and technology.
This procedure is the HIKO Nose Thread Lift or also known as the ‘lunch time nose-job”, is especially popular in South Korea where a HIKO nose lift is a quick yet effective treatment to give your nose that extra height and lift, perfect for many Asian noses, which usually lacks height and projection.
WHAT IS HIKO?
HIKO means…
Hi – High
Ko – Nose
Literally translated, HIKO means high nose. In medical terms, threads are inserted to lift the nose. This procedure is most effective in letting you design your dream nose – with the perfect profile and shape that works for you. If you’re aiming at having a sharper nose bridge, it is what you need!
In addition to this, it is a NON-SURGICAL rhinoplasty that is achieved with threads with minimal to no downtime as compared to a surgical nose implant. It is the union between surgical implants and dermal fillers.

WHAT KIND OF THREADS ARE USED?
PDO or Polydioxanone threads are used for this procedure. This is a very safe material that is used for cardiac surgery amongst other medical procedures.
In addition to the material, very SPECIFIC and UNIQUE HIKO nose threads that are used by our Singapore medical professional Dr Ho Rui Ming are THICKER and lined with COGS so as to provide MORE structure, support and lift for the area of the nose to be treated.
PDO is inserted into the treatment areas and under the skin, stimulating collagen production and activating skin tissue. Patients can achieve a tightening effect from the inside and out because the skin tissues will generate new collagen and fibroblasts.
