If you had the chance to change the shape of your nose without surgery, would you take it?
Thanks to advanced technology and enhancements on injectables (fillers), you now can!
Surprisingly, the world has hardly any perfect noses. Since the Greek „heydays,“ various benchmarks have been established to propel us to the perfect dimensions of an aesthetically pleasing nose. After all, isn’t it the centerpiece of our face?
As the society grows more culturally diverse, so do all the noses that plastic surgeons have to work on. You can choose a rhinoplasty for various reasons. However, non-surgical rhinoplasties benefit individuals who would usually go for nasal implants to augment their noses like Hispanics, African-Americans, or Orientals.
While nobody can contend with the permanency of the results which surgery affords patients, it is, however, not for everybody. Some choose to refrain from surgery for reasons such as health concerns, costly expenses, or just because they are uncertain of permanent results.
Non-surgical nose jobs may be the answer.
The Procedure
Also called non-surgical rhinoplasty, it’s a medical procedure where injectable fillers (usually hyaluronic acid fillers such as radiesse/calcium hydroxyapatite or Juvederm and Restylane) are employed in altering and shaping a nose devoid of invasive surgery.
The technique fills in the depressed parts of a nose subsequently lifting the tip’s angle or soothing how the bumps on its bridge appear. Precise and controlled injections can leave the nose looking smaller and more proportional. The outcome is immediate, and unlike surgery, there is no recovery.
Who Is the Right Candidate?
This technique is used for the following:
- A nose bridge hump
- Right to left or left to right asymmetry
- Depressed Nose Bridge
- A small nose or one lacking definition
Note: This procedure is not suitable for anyone who has previously had nasal surgery.
Preparing for Treatment
The procedure will usually start out with a consultation where you and your surgeon discuss your eligibility for the procedure. Furthermore, because the face usually has a remarkable blood supply, you will be advised to cease from medication which causes bleeding like aspirin or related aspirin products (Ibuprofen or Motrin) about a week before the procedure. Local anesthesia alleviates mild to moderate pain while ice is used to numb the injected area.
How Long Does It Take?
The process of injecting the filler (soft-tissue) usually takes between 10 minutes to half an hour, after some preliminary 15 minutes of numbing.
Is It Permanent?
A non-surgical nose job is temporary and lasts between 6 months to 2 years which is dependent on the filler quantity and type used. This can be redone, or a patient may choose to go for a surgical rhinoplasty that gives a more permanent result.
Aftercare
This process requires minimal downtime.
Side Effects
This procedure is quite safe but may result in:
- A little swelling or bruising
- Redness (at the entry point of the needle)
Limitations
- It is an augmentation procedure – doesn’t reduce nose size.
- Cannot improve breathing problems.
- Is unable to disguise significant septal deviations that need surgery.
Summary
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is an excellent alternative to having surgery. With its consistency in guaranteeing quick aesthetically pleasing outcomes, it’s the best way to get quick, mild to moderate enhancements of nasal imperfections.
