Nose Fillers in Singapore – how they work

I perform both nose filler and nose threadlift for nasal augmentation. Either one procedure can effectively augment the nose shape and the skin around it. Neither treatment can be said to be the best in all situations and it is perfectly fine to combine both nose fillers and nose threadlift if necessary to achieve the desired nasal augmentation.

There is a wide range of techniques to do so and I usually use a mix of techniques in most cases to give the most optimal result. An expert injector knows the surgical anatomy of the nose well to be able to enhance it safely, has an in-depth understanding of the tools and materials available, and appreciates the beauty of proportions as well as the craft of tailoring the treatment precisely to suit the individual patient. There is no one size fits all procedure and a successful nose contouring protocol would naturally harmonize and complement your facial features and skin.

I will assess your anatomy and recommend the most suitable option according to your preferences, generally:

• for higher bridges, a combination of nose thread lift and nose fillers
• for spot corrections, nose fillers
• for low nose bridge or tip definition, nose thread lift

In addition, I have my own techniques to specifically address problems that standard nose thread lift insertion is unable to tackle well, such as:

• nose tip refinement
• nose tip projection
• nose (alar) base narrowing
• nose tip angle lifting

Nose filler in Singapore - How I do it

I prefer to use very hard and long-lasting hyaluronic acid fillers or agarose fillers as they are reversible with hyalase. Generally, fillers that are like collagen stimulators tend to be hard and last longer than 12 months (common duration of effect for harder hyaluronic acid fillers). However, they are not reversible and this may pose a problem in cases of allergy, malposition or inadvertent injection into a blood vessel.

Newer hyaluronic acid fillers can also give equal or even longer-lasting effects up to 2-3 years. Blunt cannulas must be used where possible to reduce the (low) risk of injection into blood vessels around the nose.

Nose Fillers vs Nose Thread lift in Singapore

Nose Fillers in Singapore

• Softer smoother result more suitable for certain faces and noses
• Blends in better in patients with thin skin
• Better for fine spot corrections such as nasal humps
• Can give a higher nose bridge on profile view
• Easier to adjust or reverse than nose threadlift
• Certain very hard fillers may last longer than nose threadlifts

Nose Threadlift in Singapore

• Feels more natural to touch
• Narrower, more defined bridge
• Gives a more defined result for nasal tip and projection
• No risk of intra-arterial injection (rare but can lead to blood supply problems to the skin or eye)
