Can nose threads be removed or dissolved if the outcome is poor?

Doctor's Answer

Migrated nose threads that have extruded and are coming out of the skin can be removed via a small puncture with an 18g needle and careful extraction. Of course, adequate local analgesia must be injected beforehand. I have helped to resolve many such issues of overseas thread lift complications.

The threads (if made of PDO) will take 6-12 months to fully dissolve and I’m not sure if you would want to wait that long.

It’s best to go back to the surgeon who first treated you for his/her opinion before seeking second opinions if you are still unconvinced.
