Barbie Nose [Threads, Fillers]

Barbie Nose is Ppeum's nose thread procedure (also called "HIKO" in Korea). Dissolvable threads can be used to contour the nose by creating a support structure to heighten the nose bridge or changing the shape of the nose tip. As the threads dissolve, new collagen can be formed in the place where the threads were, partially maintaining the volume and shape. Ppeum's barbie nose procedure can also include the use of fillers with threads, which is an extra boost for bridge heightening and show greater change than using only fillers or threads.

○ Flat nose bridge

○ Hooked nose

○ Blunt nose tip

○ Those who are concerned with changing the shape of the nose, not just making it higher.

"Truthfully told, nose procedures are one of the more painful areas to treat among cosmetic procedures. If you are bad with pain but still want a nose procedure, let the clinic know so that they use local anesthesia."

"Fillers are not very suited for nose tips, while it is good for increasing volume on the bridge. This is a good point to think about when deciding whether to get nose threads or nose fillers (or you can get both)"
