MEDICAL RHINOPLASTIC WITH
HYALURONIC ACID

Contents

Medical rhinoplasty, or non-surgical rhinoplasty, is an innovative technique that allows correction of nasal imperfections without surgical intervention. Thanks to hyaluronic acid injections, it is possible to reshape the nose, soften a hump, straighten the tip, or improve symmetry in a quick and painless way. This treatment, whose result is not permanent and is adjustable, is an ideal option for patients who wish to modify their nose without resorting to surgical rhinoplasty.

Is it possible to reshape your nose with hyaluronic acid ?

It is possible to correct certain nasal imperfections through hyaluronic acid injections. However, it is essential to understand that medical rhinoplasty does not allow you to “redo” your nose in the same way as a surgical procedure would. In aesthetic-oriented medicine, hyaluronic acid works through a volumetric compensation effect : it allows correction of certain relief defects and harmonization of the anatomical and light lines of the nose. Thus, it can soften a hump, fill a hollow, or improve nasal projection, lift the tip without modifying the bone or cartilage structure. This technique is therefore intended for precise corrections, when the patient’s expectations are realistic and compatible with a medical approach.

What are the effects of hyaluronic acid on your nose ?

Hyaluronic acid makes it possible to slightly modify the nose by working on volumes. It does not change the structure of the nose, but helps improve its harmony. After medical rhinoplasty, the nose may appear straighter, more regular, and better proportioned in relation to the rest of the face.
The product can also provide light support to certain areas, such as the nasal bridge or the tip, when indicated. Results are visible immediately after the injection. Mild swelling may appear at first and then gradually disappear. The results are not permanent : they are temporary, which allows the treatment to be adjusted over time if necessary.

How should you sleep after a nose injection ?

After a hyaluronic acid injection in the nose area, it is important to avoid any pressure on the treated zone. It is therefore recommended to sleep on your back, with the head slightly elevated, in order to limit swelling and prevent displacement of the product.
It is preferable to avoid sleeping on your side or on your stomach during the first nights, allowing time for the hyaluronic acid to integrate properly. These simple precautions contribute to treatment safety and to a better aesthetic result.

The different nose shapes : which nose suits which face ?

The ideal nose possesses the following characteristics :

  • The nose is in harmony with the face and adapted to its shape. A simplified classification suggests eight face shapes: Oval, Square, Elongated, Round, Hexagonal, Triangular, and Rectangular.
  • The nose is proportional to other facial features. It represents one-fifth of the total width and one-third of the total length of the face. The width of the nasal base is equal to the width of the eye.
  • The elements of the nose follow specific proportions. The base of the nose has a triangular shape, with its base equal to its height.
    The projection of the tip is equal to two-thirds of the nose's total length and twice the distance from the Nasion (the deepest point at the nasal root) to the Inner Canthus (inner corner of the eye).
  • The angles the nose forms with other facial features are well defined. The Dorsum is straight in men and concave in women. The Naso-Labial Angle (between the upper lip and Columella) is 90°-100° in men and 95°-110° in women. The Naso-Frontal Angle is 115°-135° in men and 120°-125° in women. The Naso-Menton Angle (formed between a line passing through the nasal dorsum and another passing through the nasal tip and chin) is 120°-130°.
  • The nose is harmonious in profile. The Ricketts line is used to evaluate harmonious relationships between the nose, the chin, and the lips. This line passes through the tip of the nose and the chin, the upper lip is set back 4mm from this line, and the lower lip 2mm back. The nose is an important element when performing a medical profiloplasty.

How can you determine your nose type ?

There are twelve main types of nose.

  • Straight or greek nose : the dorsum is straight from the root to the tip. the tip is pointed, and the nostrils are narrow.
  • Concave nose : a slight indentation is present in the middle of the dorsum, and the tip projects slightly forward.
  • Bird-like nose : a thin and slightly hooked nose, characterized by a subtle curve in its central part.
  • Convex or roman nose : the dorsum follows a convex line from the root to the tip.
  • Nubian nose : this nose is relatively long with a wide base, and the nostrils are round and flared.
  • Flat nose : the dorsum is short and lacks projection, while the tip is often rounded.
  • Upturned nose : it tilts upward, with a relatively short dorsum and a tip that is neither round nor flat.
  • Crooked nose : the name describes it perfectly.
  • A flat nose : the nasal tip is flat, almost nonexistent, and the nostrils are wide.
  • Humped nose : characterized by the presence of a bump or curve exclusively on the nasal bridge.
  • Drooping nose : the nasal tip points downward.
  • Hawk nose : the nose tilts downward and has a hooked shape.

Which is the most beautiful nose ?

The duchess nose is considered one of the most beautiful noses because of its straight shape. It has been depicted in many works of art, which has given it the status of a beauty ideal.

Medical rhinoplasty for the Asian nose

Medical rhinoplasty for the Asian nose takes into account specific anatomical characteristics, such as a often less pronounced nasal bridge and more flexible cartilages. In aesthetic-oriented medicine, the goal is not to change ethnic identity, but to improve facial harmony while respecting natural features.
Hyaluronic acid injection allows for increased projection and profile balance without surgery. This approach requires a good understanding of the structures of the Asian nose to avoid standardized results and to preserve the natural expression of the face.

Medical rhinoplasty for the ethnic nose

Medical rhinoplasty for the ethnic nose addresses various morphologies, such as African, Middle Eastern, or mixed-race noses. These noses often have a less pronounced nasal bridge or a more pronounced forehead-to-nose transition.
Hyaluronic acid allows for nose improvement by working on volumes and lines to make them more harmonious. The goal is not to erase ethnic features, but to subtly and naturally enhance them.
Each treatment is personalized, as nose shape and expectations vary from person to person.

Medical rhinoplasty of the nasal tip

Medical rhinoplasty of the nasal tip allows, in specific indications, for the improvement of the tip’s projection or definition. It is intended for patients with a poorly defined or slightly drooping tip. Hyaluronic acid can provide subtle support and improve the profile, provided the indication is carefully assessed. This area requires extreme caution due to its vascular anatomy, making this treatment strictly medical, reserved for light and controlled corrections.

Medical rhinoplasty for a hollow nose

A hollow nose can be related to the natural shape of the nose, aging, or a previous surgery. Medical rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid injection allows filling certain hollows along the nasal bridge to achieve a more regular and harmonious dorsum.
The goal is to correct the hollow appearance without weighing down the nose, while respecting the facial proportions. This indication is common in aesthetic-oriented medicine and provides good results when performed with precise amounts and a product suited to this area.

Medical rhinoplasty on a previously operated nose

Medical rhinoplasty can sometimes be performed on a previously operated nose when irregularities, asymmetries, or hollows remain. It does not replace a new surgery, but can help improve the nose without resorting to a more invasive procedure.
After surgery, the nose is more fragile and its anatomy has been altered. Careful evaluation is therefore essential before any treatment. Hyaluronic acid is then used with great caution, only for targeted corrections.

Why does the nose play a central role in facial harmony ?

The nose occupies a central position on the face, directly influencing the balance and symmetry of the features. Its shape and size contribute to overall aesthetics and facial expression.

A balanced nose has harmonious proportions with the rest of the face, a straight or slightly concave bridge, a well-defined tip, and symmetrical nostrils. The angles between the nose and the forehead, as well as between the nose and the upper lip, also play a key role in nasal aesthetics.

With age, the skin of the nose can lose elasticity, the tip may slightly droop, and imperfections can become more pronounced, thus altering the appearance of the nose.

Commonly corrected imperfections include a hump on the nasal bridge, a drooping or too wide tip, asymmetry, or irregularities of the nasal surface.

Nasal characteristics vary according to ethnic origins. For example, some people may have wider noses or flatter bridges. These specificities are essential to consider for appropriate aesthetic treatments.

Medical rhinoplasty, through hyaluronic acid injections, allows correction of minor nasal imperfections without surgery. This technique offers a non-invasive alternative with immediate results.
