Achieve Fuller, More Defined Lips with Nova Threads

Person with wavy red hair smiling and looking to the side against a plain background.

As we age, it’s common to lose volume and definition in the lips. Fine lines around the mouth, thinning lips, and less-defined lip borders can leave you looking older and feeling less confident. At Creative Facial Aesthetics in NYC, we offer an advanced, minimally invasive solution to restore youthful, natural-looking lips without the risk of looking overdone — Nova Threads.

If you’ve been hesitant about fillers because you’re worried about the “duck lips” effect or want a longer-lasting, more subtle enhancement, Nova Threads may be the perfect option for you.

What Are Nova Threads?

Nova Threads are dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) sutures that are carefully placed just beneath the skin to lift, define, and stimulate collagen production. When used in the lips, these special “twist” threads are strategically inserted along the vermillion border — the natural outline of the lips — to create more definition and structure without adding unnecessary volume.

The result is a subtle, youthful enhancement that looks like your lips but better. Think of it as a long-lasting, natural lip liner effect. Many patients in New York City are choosing Nova Threads because the results are:

  • Natural-looking: Enhances lip shape and definition without the risk of an overfilled appearance.
  • Minimally invasive: No incisions, no surgery, and minimal downtime.
  • Long-lasting: Results can last up to 10 months as the threads stimulate natural collagen production.
  • Quick procedure: The treatment takes about 30 minutes and can easily fit into a lunch break.
  • Safe and effective: PDO threads are FDA-approved and dissolve naturally over time.

In addition to defining the lips, Nova Threads can help smooth out fine lines around the mouth, restoring a softer, more youthful appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nova Threads for Lips

At Creative Facial Aesthetics, we always customize our treatments based on our clients’ goals and expectations. Some of the questions we hear regarding Nove Threads for lip augmentation include the following:

How does the Nova Threads lip treatment work?

We insert fine, twisted PDO threads along the vermillion border of your upper and lower lips. These threads instantly define the shape of your lips while stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting improvement.

Will my lips look overdone or fake?

No. At Creative Facial Aesthetics, our goal is to provide natural-looking results. Nova Threads are ideal for patients who want to enhance lip definition without excessive volume or an artificial look.

How long do results last?

You can expect the results to last around 8 to 10 months, depending on your body’s natural metabolism and collagen production.

Is there any downtime?

Most patients experience minimal swelling or bruising that subsides within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are Nova Threads better than lip fillers?

If you want more defined lips without added volume, Nova Threads may be a better choice than fillers. Many patients combine both treatments for optimal results.

Stephen P.

I've been to Michele for a numbers of years for various procedures and she's fantastic, a true artist. Michele never pushes procedures, always takes her time and the final results are superb. I'm in the entertainment industry and need to look my best. I'm thrilled that she's now moved offices and I was able to track her down, I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else. My advice, put yourself in her hands and trust and you'll be amazed at the results: not only is her work exceptional but very natural.

Robin M.

I have gone to Michele for more than 10 years, following her to her new location. It's so long ago but I think I heard of her expertise in a magazine article or blog. I trust Michele completely and have done botox and filler on many occasions during this time, The results are always perfect, so natural.

Scott S.

As someone who was very hesitant to try Botox, as I am a performer/dancer and expression is a huge part of my career, I could not be happier with the treatments I have received from Michele! I have gotten so many "You look so young!" and "You skin looks incredible!". Michele took her time to explain to me the benefits of different treatments and was very responsive to my concerns. I have recommended friends to her who are so grateful to me! As a person who came to aesthetic medicine through an incredible journey of her own, Michele is unparalleled in her compassion, skill and knowledge. Go see her! You will be in the BEST hands!

Melodie D.

Michele Rivard is the best I have had for my injections of botox and fillers. She is meticulous, exact and knows what needs to be done to make my face be the best it can be. I highly recommend her for whatever you want done and you will be happy with the results.

Meredith G.

Saw Dr. Khosh for a fractured nose. He reset my nose beautifully (and with little discomfort to me) and then discussed some of my sinus issues with me upon my follow up visit. Never felt like he was rushing me out and felt very confident in his abilities. I would highly recommend to anyone needing plastic or reconstructive options!

Jackie C.

Great front office, really good experience after what was a terrible accident. I was made to feel comfortable. Dr. Khosh is very good at what he does. I'm still healing but I'm confident of the results

Kaitlin M.

Dr. Khosh takes exceptional care of his patients. He has operated on me twice, each time making me feel extremely comfortable and satisfied with the results. His staff is also very kind and knowledgeable.

Leah G.

Upon hearing of the overwhelmingly positive experience a friend of mine had in choosing Dr. Khosh as her surgeon, I decided to make an appointment for my own septoplasty/rhinoplasty/turbinate reduction. Although I was slightly skeptical as the praise I had heard seemed a bit hyperbolic, all uncertainty dissipated after meeting the Doctor and his staff. My pre- and post-operative experience was excellent in terms of concerns adequately addressed prior to the surgery and mitigation of any bruising in the convalescent period. Despite my apparent predisposition to rather slower healing, a year after the surgery, my nose looks really pretty and my breathing entirely unobstructed! I highly recommend Dr. Khosh!
