What are the considerations and costs for dissolving fillers and removing threads from the nose?

Doctor's Answers 1

Most of the threads on the nose are PDO threads, which are absorbable in 6 months usually. Removing the thread can only be done surgically by a plastic surgeon. It would be costly and would involve recovery time. The only reason for removal would be if there is an infection that is refractory to antibiotics treatment or if you have developed a tissue reaction to the material used for the nose. Consult your doctor to help you make an informed decision.

How does my need to wear spectacles affect me post-threadlift or nose fillers?

This is an extremely common question I get from my patients after a nose procedure. There is no absolute right answer as to when you can start wearing spectacles after nose dermal fillers or nose thread lift. For nose thread lift, I generally allow my patients to wear spectacles unless there is serious bruising, swelling or discomfort post-procedure. If you would like to wear spectacles, do avoid wearing them for lengthy periods. I always advise my patients to alternate the use of contact lens and spectacles during their post-procedure recovery period.

What are the risks of getting Rejuran, Botox and fillers when on Roaccutane?

In my practice, I don't find that it is a problem. However I would be cautious if the Isotretioin dosage is excessively high as the skin would be prone to poor healing. I would rather wait for the dose to be about 40-50 mg a week before i commence the above injectables. Just a personal preference, but practices can differ amongst doctors.
