Nose Implants vs Nose Fillers vs Nose Threads: Finding the Right Nose Enhancement for You

A refined nose can dramatically change facial balance and confidence. In Malaysia, nose enhancement procedures have become one of the most popular aesthetic requests, offering both surgical and non-surgical solutions.

At RJ Clinic, patients can choose from three proven approaches:

• Nose Implants (performed by plastic surgeons)

• Nose Fillers (performed by aesthetic doctors)

• Nose Threads (performed by aesthetic doctors)

Each option has its strengths, recovery times, and levels of permanence. This guide helps you understand how they differ so you can make the right decision for your face shape, lifestyle, and expectations.

Nose Implants – The Surgical Gold Standard

Overview

A nose implant (or surgical rhinoplasty) involves placing a medical-grade silicone or Gore-Tex implant along the nasal bridge to improve height, definition, and balance. For tip refinement, your surgeon may sculpt existing cartilage or graft a small piece from inside the nose.

Performed By

RJ Clinic’s plastic surgeons perform all implant rhinoplasty procedures in accredited surgical settings for maximum safety and precision.

Advantages

• Long-term, stable improvement (10 + years)

• Customised shape and bridge height

• Suitable for major reshaping or correction of asymmetry

• Can correct congenital or injury-related deformities

Recovery

Most swelling resolves within two weeks. You can return to work after 7 – 10 days, though the final contour continues to refine over several months.

Results Longevity

Permanent. Implants can last over a decade with minimal maintenance.

Starting Price

Nose implant surgery at RJ Clinic starts from RM 14600, inclusive of surgical consultation and follow-up reviews.

Nose Fillers – Instant, Non-Surgical Definition

Overview

Nose fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA) to contour the bridge and tip without surgery. Small amounts of filler are injected strategically to lift, smooth, and align the nasal shape.

Performed By

At RJ Clinic, trained aesthetic doctors use ultrasound-guided injections to ensure accuracy and safety.

Advantages

• Immediate results with no incisions

• Minimal downtime — resume daily life immediately

• Adjustable & reversible (can be dissolved if desired)

• Affordable compared to surgery

Recovery

Minor redness or swelling may appear but fades within 24–48 hours.

Results Longevity

Lasts 12 – 18 months, depending on filler type and metabolism.

Starting Price

Nose filler enhancement starts from RM 2200 per ml.

Nose Threads – Collagen-Boosting Lift

Overview

Nose thread lifts use absorbable PDO or PLLA threads inserted beneath the skin to elevate and sharpen the nasal bridge or tip. As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen for added firmness and lift.

Performed By

At RJ Clinic, aesthetic doctors perform nose thread lifts under strict sterile conditions.

Advantages

• Provides subtle height and tip definition

• Encourages collagen formation for long-term firmness

• Suitable for those wanting a sharper look without fillers or surgery

• 
  

Recovery

Mild swelling or tightness can last for a few days. Makeup can usually be worn after 48 hours.

Results Longevity

Around 12 – 24 months, depending on thread quality and lifestyle.

Starting Price

Nose thread lift procedures start from RM 2000.

Nose Implants vs Fillers vs Threads – Comparison at a Glance

Before & After Expectations

• Implant Surgery: Delivers dramatic, permanent height and improved bridge definition. Ideal for flatter or broader noses.

• Fillers: Offer instant, smooth contouring — excellent for minor bridge enhancement or test runs before surgery.

• Threads: Create subtle but visible lifting and collagen-boosting effects that improve skin quality over time.

RJ Clinic documents every case with professional pre- and post-treatment photography so patients can appreciate gradual refinement and realistic outcomes.

Choosing the Right Option for You

Your choice depends on several factors:

• Desired change: Fillers and threads enhance mild imperfections; implants provide structural transformation.

• Downtime tolerance: Non-surgical options fit busy lifestyles.

• Budget: Fillers and threads cost less initially but require maintenance; implants are a one-time investment.

• Longevity: Surgery offers permanence; injectables need yearly top-ups.

During your consultation at RJ Clinic, your aesthetic doctor or plastic surgeon will assess nasal shape, skin thickness, and facial proportions to recommend the safest and most effective approach.

Combination Approaches for Balanced Results

Sometimes, the best results come from combining methods. Examples include:

• Starting with fillers to test desired height before proceeding with an implant.

• Using threads for tip refinement after filler contouring.

• Pairing nose procedures with chin augmentation for overall profile harmony.

RJ Clinic’s team designs these combination plans individually to ensure natural outcomes that suit each patient’s ethnicity and features.
