Can fillers keep my lips moist and reduce the side effects of Isotretinoin?

They certainly can. Lip fillers are hyaluronic acid based products added to the lips to add volume and hydration. Hyaluronic acid draws in moisture and can hold many times its molecular weight in water. I normally suggest lip balm and lip ointments for patients who have dry lips from isotretinoin, but skin booster like treatments for the lips can help add hydration as well. If you have thin lips and would like to add some volume or shape to your dry lips, then going with a lip filler would be a great 2-in-1 solution for your problem! Hope this helps!

Do nose thread lifts help with opening up the medial epicanthic fold?

A nose bridge threadlift will offer a mild improvement if you have prominent medial epicanthic folds. This is because the threads inserted adds volume to the nose bridge area and stretches the skin, resulting in a medial pull of the medial epicanthic folds. That being said, the effect is temporary, as are nose threads, lasting for 1-2 years, and is normally quite limited. Unless your nose bridge is your primary aesthetic concern, it might be in your interest to consider a medial epicanthoplasty. Hope this helps!

I had a nose bridge and tip thread lift. It is bothering me that i can feel a thread in my upper middle gingival area. My doctor said it will be dissolved in few months, but the area where the thread is protruding is getting uncomfortable. What are the next possible steps I could take?

What you are experiencing is an abutting of your nose threads on the oral mucosa, which can happen as a complication of nose-tip threads. It is true that the threads will be dissolved by your skin in time, but it can cause a great deal of discomfort in the few months before it does. There is also the possiblity of thread extrusion if there is alot of pressure of the thread on the mucosa. If the threads are causing you alot of discomfort, I suggest removing the thread via a small puncture hole through the oral mucosa.
