HIKO Nose Lift in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

HIKO, which means "high nose" in Korean, is a popular non-surgical procedure that enhances the nose's shape and height. Using dissolvable medical-grade threads, this treatment provides a defined and elevated nose bridge and tip without the need for surgery or implants. It is a favorite in Korea for its quick results and minimal downtime, offering a safe alternative to traditional rhinoplasty.


What is a HIKO Nose Lift?

This procedure involves inserting fine, biodegradable threads into the nasal bridge and tip using a small needle. The threads act as a scaffold, immediately lifting and shaping the nose. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which helps to maintain the new shape and improve overall skin firmness.


Popular Types of HIKO Nose Lift in Korea

  • HIKO Thread Lift: A straightforward procedure using PDO (Polydioxanone) or PCL (Polycaprolactone) threads to lift and define the nose bridge and tip.
  • HIKO with Fillers: A combination treatment where threads are used for structural lifting and a small amount of filler is added to fill in any gaps or minor irregularities, creating a smoother contour.
  • HIKO with Botox: Botox can be injected into the muscles at the base of the nose to relax a downturned tip, enhancing the lifting effect of the threads.
