HIKO Nose Thread Lift Singapore | Frances Medical & Aesthetic Clinic

What is the HIKO Nose Thread Lift?

Nose refinement, without surgery.

The HIKO Nose Thread Lift uses threads to build and lift the nose bridge and tip, offering a popular non-surgical alternative to rhinoplasty for patients seeking subtle nose refinement. Dr Tan will also assess whether filler alongside threads may be appropriate for your goals.

At FMAC, the HIKO Nose Thread Lift is performed under local anaesthesia and assessed and delivered by Dr Gerald Tan, who will discuss a tailored approach for your nose shape at consultation.

How it works

Structure and lift, thread by thread.

Fine threads are inserted along the bridge and tip of the nose to provide structural support and a subtle lift, refining the nose's profile without incisions. Dr Tan assesses your nasal anatomy and goals at consultation to determine thread placement, and whether combining threads with filler is appropriate for your case.

Day 1–2

Mild swelling or tenderness along the bridge and tip is common and generally starts to settle.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Is the HIKO Nose Thread Lift safe?

It is a doctor-performed procedure carried out under local anaesthesia. Dr Gerald Tan assesses your nasal anatomy and suitability individually before every treatment, and will discuss any risks specific to your case.

Does it hurt?

Local anaesthesia is used throughout the procedure. Most patients feel some pressure as threads are placed, rather than sharp pain.

What is the downtime?

Mild swelling along the bridge and tip is common and typically settles over a few days. Dr Tan will advise on care immediately after treatment.

When will I see results?

The lift and structure are generally visible once initial swelling settles, and the body's collagen response may extend the visible improvement over the following months. Results vary between individuals.

How many sessions will I need?

The HIKO Nose Thread Lift is typically delivered as a single session. Dr Tan will advise on timing for a repeat treatment as results settle over time.
