How non surigcal rhinoplasty can make you feel great with a smoother nose

What is Non Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic medical procedure of augmentation to alter and reshape a person's nose without carrying surgery. The process involves filling of depressed areas of the nose by lifting the angle of the tip, smoothing out the appearance of bumps, and making it less angular.

The process involves the use of dermal fillers most commonly hyaluronic acid to beautify the nose and an overall face symmetry, but not helps in size reduction of the nose. The process is also known as liquid Rhinoplasty, liquid nose job, 15 minutes nose job, and non-surgical nose job.

The procedure of Non-surgical Rhinoplasty:

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty involves the use of hyaluronic acid fillers to be injected beneath the skin of the nose to modify its tip to make it crispier, refined, and to provide temporary facial rejuvenation and harmony. Filler ingredients settle into deeper layers from the site where it is injected. Hyaluronic acid filler holds its shape and can change the look of your nose at any desired location, from six months to three years.

Technique Used for Non-surgical Rhinoplasty:

Non-surgical nose job is a more straightforward cosmetic procedure which gives desired outcomes without getting under the knife, and just a needle can create wonders. The process starts by applying local anaesthesia to the nose and surrounding areas to minimize the effect of pain and pressure produced by the injection needle. Usually, lidocaine is used for temporary numbness of the site of the nose and surrounding areas. After the local anaesthesia agent takes its effect a sterile syringe prepacked with filler and a hypodermic needle, i.e. 27-G, 25mm is used to inject material under nasal skin deep inside subcutaneous tissues present above the periosteum. Dermal filler (hyaluronic acid) is injected into the desired area of the nose, maybe nose bridge or tip. The patient may feel the slight pinching sensation while the procedure is carried out.

How long is the Treatment Procedure?

The whole treatment procedure of non-surgical Rhinoplasty takes about fifteen to forty minutes, depending upon the area to be treated and desired outcomes.

Role of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers:

Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary dermal fillers which are used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, and facial folds and to give structure to temples, chin, jaws, and nose. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in our body, especially in skin, eyes, and joints. It is responsible for retaining water and for keeping your skin moist and hydrated. Different varieties of hyaluronic acid are present. Each of the hyaluronic acid fillers has unique characteristics, and they produce the best results based on the location and the area they are injected.

Targeted Areas of Nose for Non-surgical Rhinoplasty:

Dermal fillers used to modify the shape of the nose can be injected at any part of the nose, but usually targeted sites are the bridge, tip, and sides of the nose. Non-surgical nose job successfully smooths out small bumps in the nose, and it can also make the tip of nose more prominent by giving it volume and lifting it at a suitable angle. The broader nose cannot get smaller; also, large nose bumps cannot be smooth out by non-surgical Rhinoplasty. One has to undergo cosmetic surgery to achieve such goals. Following are the details of targeted areas corrected by non-surgical Rhinoplasty;

1. Low Bridge: Non-surgical Rhinoplasty can correct a short bridge nose. Building a nose bridge is a common request by various people belongs to Asia or African American descent who usually have lower nose bridges. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used to raise the depressed bridge.
   
   
2. Dip Correction in Nose: Goal of liquid Rhinoplasty is to correct, and to add structure to the nose. Dermal fillers of hyaluronic acid can do best by adding volume to the dip or divot in the nose bridge.
   
   
3. Nose Bumps: Aesthetic contour and cosmetic profile of nose can be enhanced by adding dermal fillers to the areas around the nose bumps. Non-surgical Rhinoplasty does not target the removal of nose bumps. Filling of nose bumps with hyaluronic acid can smooth out the bumps and gives the appearance of the smooth and straight nose with a more juvenile facial appearance by improving face-nose symmetry.
   
   
4. Irregularities: various other abnormalities in shape and structure of the nose can be improved by undergoing non-surgical Rhinoplasty.
   
   
5. Revisions: If the patient has undergone non-surgical Rhinoplasty in history and is not satisfied with the outcomes, then non-surgical Rhinoplasty is an ideal substitute to make corrections of previously done liquid nose job.
   
   
   

Areas those cannot be done with Non-surgical Rhinoplasty:

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty is an excellent alternative to surgery in many cases, but some areas of nose cannot get desired outcomes without getting under the knife. Here are few sites of the nose which cannot be treated by non-surgical Rhinoplasty.

1. Removal of bumps: Removal of nodes cannot be addressed by non-surgical Rhinoplasty because treatment of nose by liquid fillers is all about adding volume and to the depressed areas and to build the site around bumps and hump. This process gives the nose a more defined and straight appearance. If the patient wants a smaller size nose or to remove large bumps, then surgery is an ideal option.
   
   
2. Bulbous nose tip: Dermal fillers of hyaluronic acid cannot be successful in achieving correctness or in minimizing bulbous nose tip. Removal of bulbous tip involves the rearrangement of the tip by removing cartilage by the aesthetic surgeon by the surgical Rhinoplasty.
   
   
3. Wide nostrils: Wide nostrils cannot be targeted by non-surgical Rhinoplasty because a narrow nose shape can only be achieved by removing from the nose, which cannot be attained by adding fillers.
   
   
4. Traditional Rhinoplasty can only correct plunging nose tip: Drooping or dipping nose tip.
