Overview
- Simone Mendes told followers that she had a non-surgical nasal procedure about 15 days earlier and explicitly denied undergoing a rhinoplasty.
- Her practitioner, Cindy Alves, said suspension or traction threads were placed under the skin to lift the drooping tip without touching cartilage and that the tip will be most lifted for about 30 days before it relaxes.
- Plastic surgeons quoted in coverage say thread-based rinomodelation can alter nasal angulation but not bone or cartilage, and that absorbable threads make results temporary, often requiring maintenance within roughly a year.
- Simone was filmed returning to work while still visibly swollen from the procedure and posted on social media that it was a 'day of beautiful work.'
- The case highlights trade-offs between minimally invasive options and surgery: threads offer a quicker recovery but carry risks such as material displacement, fibrosis or local lesions, and patients should weigh these against filler-based rinomodelation or surgical rhinoplasty when seeking lasting structural change.
