A growing trend in the beauty industry today is the rise of non-surgical rhinoplasty. Dr Kisalay Saurav, dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, founder of Dr Saurav Dermatology Clinic, Bengaluru, India, says this innovative technique has revolutionized the field of cosmetic surgery by providing a non-invasive solution for people who want to achieve a more refined nose appearance.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves using dermal fillers to reshape the nose without surgery. The plastic surgeon strategically injects the fillers into different areas of the nose.
The procedure is quick and painless. First, the doctor will evaluate the patient’s nose and discuss the desired results. Then, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the area to be shaped.
Fillers are injected into specific points, carefully shaping the nose into the desired shape. The results are usually immediate and there is usually no downtime.
Benefit
This process provides immediate results with no risks and no recovery time. The fillers used are temporary, if the patient is not satisfied with the results, they simply wait for the filler to dissolve naturally over time or dissolve with enzyme injections.
The flexibility allows for adjustments and repairs, providing peace of mind for those considering this procedure.
Risk
Like any cosmetic procedure, non-surgical nose reshaping also has risks, says Dr Aleena Rehman, cosmetic surgeon at CARA Clinic Santacruz Mumbai (India).
It is important to choose a qualified and experienced specialist who is familiar with nasal anatomy. Poor injection technique or an inexperienced doctor can lead to complications such as uneven results, infection, or even complications that cause damage to blood vessels.
Additionally, some temporary side effects may include bruising and swelling at the injection site. Or infection or allergic reaction to the filler material.
Is the procedure permanent?
Dr. Kisalay asserts that the results of non-surgical nose reshaping are not permanent. Hyaluronic acid fillers are gradually absorbed by the body over time, typically lasting 12-24 months, depending on the type of filler used and the individual's metabolism.
If the patient is not satisfied with the results or experiences any problems, the procedure can be reversed or adjusted by dissolving the filler with a specific enzyme.
