Non-surgical rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a medical procedure that involves the modification of the nose using injectable fillers. By filling in depressions, smoothing out sharp angles, or changing the angle of the tip of the nose, it can create a more symmetrical and balanced appearance without the need for invasive surgery.

Procedure

The procedure for non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the use of dermal fillers, which are injected into the nose to alter its shape. The most commonly used fillers are hyaluronic acid based, such as Restylane and Juvederm. These fillers are temporary and will naturally dissolve in the body over time. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 15 to 30 minutes.

Benefits

Non-surgical rhinoplasty has several benefits over traditional, surgical rhinoplasty. These include a shorter recovery time, less risk of complications, and the ability to make subtle changes to the nose. However, the results are temporary and the procedure may need to be repeated every six to twelve months.

Risks and Complications

As with any medical procedure, non-surgical rhinoplasty carries some risks. These can include infection, bruising, swelling, and an allergic reaction to the filler. In rare cases, the filler can block a blood vessel and cause skin necrosis.
