Review: SL Clinic Singapore | Nose Threadlift Treatment

Hey guys! This post is gonna be an exciting one because i finally did my Nose Threadlift treatment on 21 December 2018 and i can't wait to share my experience with everyone!

If you guys remember, i did my Nose Fillers treatment back in 2016 and you can read about my experience HERE. Before i start, do note that this is NOT a sponsored post. I paid for the nose threadlift myself and everything in this post are 100% my feelings and wordings.

My nose fillers treatment was 2 years back and ever since then, i've always wanted to try out the nose threadlift. What's holding me back was mainly because of the cost and fear inserting threads into my nose. I finally decided it's going to be now or never, so i went ahead to search for clinics.

I eventually decided on SL Clinic Singapore (Westgate outlet) and book an appointment with Dr. Charlene Goh. Because i went alone for the procedure, i do not have much photos with me! Unlike other blog posts you might find online on Nose Threadlift, i'll try to share more on my experience/feelings during and after the procedure.

If you've read my post on my Nose Fillers, you will know that i'm more comfortable in having a lady to do my procedure. It's weird but for me, i think feeling comfortable with the doctor is the most important part of the entire process. I always made sure to read up on the doctor's profile before booking an appointment and so i made my decision to pay Dr. Charlene Goh a visit! :)

Right before my consultation with Dr. Charlene, i've yet to decide if i wanna have just the nose fillers or a nose threadlift. And i thought, it's best to let Dr. Charlene to have a look at my nose, seek her advise and then make my decision.

I made my appointment with SL Clinic via Whatsapp and they gave me a call one day before my appointment to remind me to bring along my NRIC (most probably was because i'm a new customer).

I made an appointment on a Friday evening at 6:30pm and managed to reach early! I think i was the only person who had made a doctor appointment that day. The only other person who visited the clinic was for their facial appointment. At the waiting area, I was given a form to filled up before my consultation. Since there wasn't any other people, i didn't wait for long.

Before my consultation with Dr. Charlene Goh, the staff had a look at my completed form and had a quick chat with me. It was mainly to understand more about my skin condition and what i was looking for in the procedure.

Dr. Charlene was really nice and i felt really comfortable with her. She had a look at my nose and we agreed that the fillers were mostly gone. After explaining the different effects of the fillers and threadlift, i eventually decided on threadlift! Here's a quick before photo:

I always have to contour like siao for my nose and of course edit the photo like siao also.

After the consultation, i was brought to a room for the nurse to remove my makeup and apply on the numbing cream. The room was like those room you will be at during facial treatments. It was very private and i felt really comfortable while waiting for the numbing cream to take effect.

After applying the numbing cream, they put on a layer of cling wrap over.

I waited for around 20-30mins for the numbing cream to set and then i was brought back to Dr. Charlene's room for the procedure. We took some quick before photos and the procedure starts! I must say their nurse is one of the best that i've ever met. She is really friendly and nice. I told her i'm really scared of the pain and she stayed with us and kept on tapping my hands to distract me during the entire procedure. Dr. Charlene also constantly made sure that i was feeling okay. I felt so loved and assured at that time!!!

So as compared to fillers, was the threadlift more painful?

I injected a total of 8 threads, which is the number of threads people usually need.

Well, for the injection of LA, there's really not much pain except for feeling of the needle poking in. The numbing cream definitely helped a lot. If you are really scared of the pain, you can always ask the nurse to apply more of the numbing cream and maybe wait a little longer than 20mins for the numbing cream to set more. 

The only 'pain' feeling is when Dr. Charlene insert in the last 2 threads. Dr. Charlene explained that it was because 6 threads were already injected in and there's not much 'space' inside. The 'pain' wasn't to the extend of me tearing, but maybe more of a feeling of sharp tightness. But the 'pain' went away quite quickly.

I would say that the threadlift procedure is not more 'painful' than the fillers. Just that the idea of injecting something in might be a little scary. With a little help from the doctor and nurse, this can be easily overcome. Another difference is that with fillers, you don't really feel anything much when you touch your nose bridge. But with threadlift, when you touch your nose bridge, it really feels like there's something hard like a piece of bone inside.

So here's the after photos. I rushed to the ladies to take these photos, which explained the weird lighting.

The red dot is where the threads went in. I didn't dare to put any makeup over it coz i scared infection all these lah.

After the procedure, there was only a slight swelling and bruise due to the injection. Just touch up your make up and you can continue on with the rest of your day. You might feel some discomfort and tightness. Just be careful not to hit your nose or anything! I accidentally hit my nose while changing and it was quite painful! The recovery took around one week. After a week, there's really not much feeling at all.

This is about one week after and you can see there's not much swelling already.

I would definitely recommend the threadlift over fillers. As compared to fillers, i loved the effects of the threadlift much more than fillers. But of course, if it's your first time doing any anesthetics procedure, it's the best to have your consultation done first and then decide which procedure you would feel the most comfortable with.

Went off to Korea with a new nose bridge!

Hit me up with any questions you might have and i'll try my best to answer it! :)

Review: Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics & Surgery | Nose Fillers Treatment

Hello 2017! and yes, i'm 25 already. ):

The first post of 2017 is going to be dedicated to.....

THIS!!!!!!!!!


On the last few days of year 2016, i finally did it!!!! I finally did my nose fillers with Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics & Surgery on 28th Dec 16! To clarify, this is NOT a sponsored post. I paid for the fillers myself and everything in this post are 100% my feelings and wordings.

Okay, back to the main topic.

I went ahead and decided on it even though families and friends all disapproved. It was something that i was considering for years and i'm truly truly happy and satisfied with my decision. 

I went for my consultation and procedure alone, so i was really really nervous. I believe readers of this blog post would have already done their own intensive research on all the facts about nose fillers. So i'll just go straight to the documentation of my nose fillers experience with Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics & Surgery. I don't have much photos with me, but i'll try to make this post as detailed as possible! 

After doing tons and tons of research on my own, i decided to go for Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics & Surgery. The main reasons why i decided on Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics & Surgery was simply because i was more comfortable with having a lady to do my procedure and the procedure was within my budget. So i kind of made my decision in a day and went ahead to sms in to book my appointment!

I knew exactly what i wanted clearly, which is a higher nose bridge. Initially, i did consider the Nose Threadlift procedure to contour and define my nose. However, i decided against it as i was kinda afraid of the procedure and after all, it was my first time doing any aesthetics procedure, so i stick with my decision of having just nose fillers for now.

(apologies for the orange lighting! I had my night lamp on!)

As you can see, i have a button nose and sunken nose bridge. ):

To book my appointment with Dr. Tiffiny Yang, i sent in a text message to the contact number provided (9186 0805) on their website and stated the procedure that i wish to have.

I would say that they do reply back promptly and they gave me a reminder text message on the day before my appointment as well. 

And so, my appointment was confirmed and the day finally cameeeee~

I arrived at 4.30pm sharp and their clinic was filled with people, even on a weekday afternoon! I was given a form to filled up before my consultation with Dr. Tiffiny Yang. As the clinic was fairly crowded, I had to wait till around 5.30pm before it was my turn for consultation.

I was then brought into Dr. Tiffiny Yang's room for my consultation. I must say, i was feeling kinda inferior because Dr. Tiffiny Yang is so pretty! Her room was so brightly-lit that i felt that all of my imperfection will be shown. ): 

I shared with Dr. Tiffiny Yang on my concerns of sunken nose bridge and my desire of achieving a higher nose bridge with nose fillers. She also brought up the issue of my nose bridge was actually leaning more to the right and she will inject the fillers more to the left to balance it out.

Usually, people will inject the full one syringe to fill up the nose bridge and tip. But i was kinda scared of the pain and afraid that it would turn out all wrong, so i eventually only got the half syringe to treat my nose bridge only. Honestly, i regretted it because now, i want my nose tip to be sharper. But i heard injecting on the nose tip is hella painful.

In the room with Dr. Tiffiny Yang, i was really nervous and scared. But Dr. Tiffiny Yang was really really nice and she was very confident and assured me that the whole procedure was really painless.

I also shared with Dr. Tiffiny Yang with regards to my doubts if the injection will actually cause any keloids, considering the fact that i had a keloid on my helix (after a bad helix piercing). After confirming with Dr. Tiffiny Yang that the procedure is safe for me, i decided to proceed with the procedure. 

Let's go!!!!!

After consultation, i was brought to a room to take pictures of my side profile and off to another room to apply on the numbing cream. It's okay to have makeup on as it will be removed before the numbing cream is applied on your nose bridge. After which, i was asked to take a seat outside at the waiting area. Don't worry about having the cream on while waiting, everyone else are all the same. :)

While i was waiting for the numbing cream to take effect, i was given a terms and conditions agreement form to sign on every page. Do take your time to read through the agreement and make sure you are fully aware of what you are signing!

I waited for around 20mins and the numbing cream started to melt towards the end and even dripped to my lips. I had to use tissue to wipe it off my lips. In the end, my upper lips was numbed as well. Hahaha. I checked with the staff there and they said it was normal. So just remember to have some tissue with you!!

The nose fillers that i had was Juvederm. 

Once the numbing cream has set, i proceed into the procedure room for preparation. No pictures of the process as i was dead scared and nervous at that point of time.

Basically, the numbing cream was wiped off and i waited for Dr. Tiffiny Yang. I remembered i kept on telling how scared and nervous i was to Dr. Tiffiny Yang and she was nothing but kind and confident, assuring me that it's going to be painless and it will be fine.

She explained the entire process to me, ensuring that i was fully aware of what she is going to do. Firstly, she marked the area to be injected in some sort of marker. Next, just before injecting, Dr. Tiffiny Yang gave me a heads up before she slowly inject the fillers in. Next, she firmly massage the area to form the nose bridge. After she's done, she gave me a mirror to check if i'm happy with the height of my new nose bridge!! The entire process was less than 10mins!!

Biggest Question of the Day: Was There Any Pain At All???

For such a timid person like me, i would give the safe assurance that injection of nose fillers to the nose bridge is painless. I felt nothing during the entire procedure except for the needle poking in. The numbing cream i had definitely helped a lot. :) 

I would say the only feeling is when Dr. Tiffiny Yang was firmly molding the shape of the nose bridge. You can just feel that she is using some force to make sure the shape of the nose bridge is nicely done. Sort of like using force to mold a clay toy.

Immediately after the procedure, i went to the ladies to take some selfies~ 

I have a higher nose bridge now!!!!

After the procedure, there was only a slight swelling and bruise due to the injection. It can be easily covered up with some concealer and you can just continue on with the rest of your day!

I was slightly concerned about the bruise kind of feeling i had on my nose bridge and injection area. But i only had that feeling for the next two days before it eventually went off. So it was fine! :)

For the first week, my nose bridge was much higher and it was the height i wanted. However, after the swelling has eased down, the fillers will actually be broken down in the body and the final result will actually be a reduction of up to 20-30%. I kinda regretted here as i should have asked for a higher nose bridge then. ):

Maybe, just maybe, i'll be back to fill it up again and this time round, i'll be doing the tip as well!!

If you guys did your nose fillers as well, please do share more with me as i would love to know more!!
