La medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads consists of reshaping certain areas of the nose using absorbable threads inserted under the skin. These threads, generally made of PDO (polydioxanone) or PLA (polylactic acid), are designed to stimulate the production of collagen in the treated area, providing a lifting and reshaping effect
La medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads is a technique for medical rhinoplastyThis technique is widely used in aesthetic medicine to reshape and correct the shape of the nose without the need for surgery.
This method, which is less invasive than traditional rhinoplasty, is a solution to the problem of rhinoplasty.
fast, scar-free surgery for minor aesthetic corrections to the nose. With tensor threads, it is possible to correct certain defects of the nose, such as a small bump or a drooping tip. The results are natural, harmonious and immediately visible.
Medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads can be used to treat different areas of the nose. This method is particularly effective for light to moderate aesthetic corrections.
It is important to understand that this method is not suitable for all noses and that results vary. For more visible and longer-lasting results, it is often combined with traditional medical rhinoplasty using injections ofhyaluronic acid.
The areas of the nose that can be treated are :
- The tip of nose If the tip of the nose is drooping or lacks definition, tensor threads can be used to reshape it. raise and give it a more harmonious shape. This technique makes it possible to straighten the tip without the need for invasive surgery.
- L'bridge of the nose The bridge of the nose can be corrected using tensor sutures in order to smooth out small bumps or irregularities on the nose. This treatment is particularly suitable for patients with a and want to smooth it out to create a straighter edge.
- The base of nose For people whose nose base is too wide or asymmetrical, tensor threads can be used to refine width and give the nose greater symmetry.
Tensioning threads are inserted using fine needles into strategic areas of the nose, such as the tip or bridge. Once in place, these threads create mechanical traction that helps to reposition the nasal tissue. They also promote collagen production over time, helping to improve skin firmness and maintain the reshaped shape of the nose.
Medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads is a non-surgical procedure designed to change the shape of the nose without surgery.
It is performed under local anaesthetic and involves inserting absorbable threads, generally made of polydioxanone (PDO), under the skin of the nose using a fine needle.
During an initial consultation, Dr Romano assesses the merits of the technique in relation to the patient's anatomy: as we have said, the indications are limited and often conventional medical rhinoplasty or surgical rhinoplasty are the only options.
After rigorous disinfection and anaesthesia, the threads are strategically placed to reshape and straighten certain parts of the nose, such as the tip or bridge, while providing a lifting effect. The threads create tension that helps to redefine the contours of the nose. The procedure generally takes between 15 and 30 minutes, is virtually painless and involves only a short recovery period with few or no side effects.
After the procedure, the patient is invited to return for a check-up after a few weeks. This allows us to check the integration of the threads and ensure that the results are in line with expectations. If necessary, minor adjustments can be made.
Although medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads is a light procedure, it is important to follow certain recommendations after treatment to optimise results and avoid complications.
- Avoid exposure to excessive heat (sauna, steam room) and UV rays for the first few days following the procedure.
- Avoid pressing or massaging the nose so as not to displace the inserted wires. However, it is possible to touch the nose.
- Avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs for a week.
- Do not engage in strenuous physical activity for 48 hours after treatment.
- It is advisable, but not compulsory, not to wear glasses for a week.
Rhinoplasty using tensor threads offers a number of advantages over traditional surgical rhinoplasty.
- Non-surgical, scar-free procedure: unlike the surgical rhinoplastythe rhinoplasty using tensor threads requires no incision, and therefore no scarring. The threads are inserted using fine needles, without opening the nose, making the procedure much less invasive. Patients can therefore avoid the risks and complications associated with surgery.
- Immediate and lasting results: one of the great advantages of tensor threads is that the results are visible immediately after the session. The nose is immediately straightened or reshaped, depending on the patient's aesthetic goals. What's more, the effect of the threads continues to improve in the months that follow, thanks to the stimulation of collagen production. The effects last between 12 and 18 months.
- No social withdrawal: after medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads, patients can return to their normal activities as soon as they leave the surgery. There is no period of social withdrawal, unlike surgery, which often requires several days' rest. Only a few bruises or slight swelling may appear, but these effects generally disappear within a few days.
- Natural, personalised results: tensor threads provide a natural result, subtly adjusting the shape of the nose without drastically altering it. Each treatment is personalised according to the patient's morphology and aesthetic expectations.
The results of medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads are visible immediately after treatment. The nose appears straighter, more harmonious and better defined. However, they continue to improve in the weeks following the procedure, as the threads gradually stimulate collagen production in the treated area.
Medical rhinoplasty using tensor threads can correct many aesthetic defects of the nose, such as :
- Straightening the tip of the nose, drooping tip of the nose.
- Correction of small bumps on the bridge of the nose.
- Improving the symmetry of the nose.
- Refining the nose.
This method is particularly effective for people who want a subtle improvement, without radical changes.
The effects of rhinoplasty with tension threads can last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the type of threads used and the patient's individual response. The threads used are absorbable, meaning that they degrade naturally in the body over time. However, the lifting and reshaping effect persists thanks to the production of collagen stimulated by the threads.
After 12 to 18 months, a touch-up can be carried out to prolong the effects of the treatment. Touch-ups enable the result to be maintained without waiting for the threads to be completely resorbed. Patients can choose to repeat the treatment depending on their aesthetic needs and the evolution of their nose.

The opinions of patients who have opted for rhinoplasty using tensor threads are very positive. Many patients are satisfied with the immediate results and the natural appearance of their nose after treatment. The absence of scars and long recovery period is also a strong point that appeals to those who wish to subtly modify the shape of their nose without invasive surgery.
Patients note that the treatment is not very painful, thanks to the use of fine needles and, in some cases, an anaesthetic cream. The majority of patients report harmonious results in line with their aesthetic expectations.
