What is medical rhinoplasty ?

How can you get rid of a bump on the nose without surgery? How can you lift the tip of the nose without going under the knife? To address these concerns, a new aesthetic medicine technique was introduced in 2007: medical rhinoplasty.
This procedure treats certain imperfections through injections of hyaluronic acid (primarily) and botox. In short, reshaping your nose without surgery is now possible.

Medical rhinoplasty : reshaping your nose without surgery

Rhinoplasty through hyaluronic acid injections, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or medical rhinoplasty, is a non-invasive method to reshape the nose.
While injections can improve many aesthetic imperfections, certain corrections—such as bone reductions, excess skin treatment, and tip narrowing—can only be achieved through surgical rhinoplasty.
Medical rhinoplasty has completely transformed the approach to nasal aesthetics.

Compared to surgery, this technique offers the following advantages :

  • Immediate results.
  • Reversible results through product resorption.
  • No heavy post-surgical recovery.
  • Allows the patient to get an idea of the result before considering surgery.

Comment affiner un nez trop gros ? Comment réduire un nez trop long ? Comment traiter une bosse sur le nez ?
It's true thathyaluronic acid sur le nez sont un moyen efficace pour répondre à ces demandes.
Le produit utilisé peut être très réticulé ou moyennement réticulé.
Depending on the aesthetic corrections to be made, the injection may be deep or superficial.

The consequences of a botched injection are not just aesthetic, they can be tragic: blindness and necrosis of the nose (necrosis is the 'death' of the skin and underlying tissues).
From an aesthetic point of view, the most important thing is to avoid masculinising a woman's nose by creating a very straight and high dorsum. Unfortunately, this is often the case.

Hyaluronic acid injections help smooth out certain nasal imperfections. They can be used to :

  • Correct nasal drooping and enhance definition.
  • Improve overall nasal symmetry.
  • Adjust nasal angles.
  • Eliminate post-traumatic or genetic depressions.
  • Remove a nasal bump without surgery..
  • Narrow the nostrils.
  • Erase the grooves of the nasal wings.
  • Correct age-related changes, such as the thinning of nasal skin tissues and the closing of the nasolabial angle.
  • Fix functional defects of the nasal valve observed during inhalation (collapse of the triangular cartilages on the cartilaginous septum).
  • Harmonize the nose : modify it following the BeautiPHIcation.

 

How to get a smaller nose without surgery ?

Volume reductions are only possible through surgery. However, depending on the anatomy of the nose, it may be possible to slightly narrow the nostrils and refine the tip.

How does a medical rhinoplasty session work ?

  • Initial evaluation : the doctor discusses the patient's goals, examines the structure of the nose and face, assesses possible results, and ensures there are no contraindications.
  • Photos : photos are taken for before-and-after comparisons
  • Treatment plan : the doctor develops a personalized plan.
  • Disinfection : the nose area is carefully cleaned with an antiseptic.

Quels sont les résultats d’une rhinoplastie médicale ?

Before/after hyaluronic acid nose 

The results of medical rhinoplasty are natural and harmonious, helping to balance facial features.
As a central feature of the face, the nose must be proportionate to facial shape to ensure overall harmony and enhance the profile. Rhinoplasty is often combined with genioplasty (chin modification) for optimal results.
The result is immediate, although on the day of the injection there is a slight swelling and the product is visible under the skin. You will need to wait seven days for the product to integrate completely and for the result to be definitive.

How long does medical rhinoplasty last ?

The results of medical rhinoplasty typically last between six and twelve months, depending on the type of product used and individual metabolism. For first-time injections, results generally last six to eight months. Maintenance injections are necessary to sustain the results over time.

Medical rhinoplasty : risks and complications

Les effets secondaires potentiels sont des rougeurs, des ecchymoses, un léger gonflement et une sensation d’inconfort au site d’injection. Ces effets sont généralement temporaires et disparaissent en quelques jours. Le patient a une sensation de nez dur et cartonné pendant une semaine.
Il est important de choisir un médecin formé et expérimenté pour éviter des complications graves comme la nécrose du nez et la cécité. Complications méconnues mais possibles.
To avoid side-effects or abnormal results, it is advisable to avoid sporting activities for two days, wearing glasses (including swimming goggles), sauna, hammam, UV booth, massage and facial steam for one week.
It is possible to touch the nose and follow your 'facial beauty products' routine, but it is not advisable to apply strong pressure to the nose for a week.

Quel est le prix d’une injection d’acide hyaluronique dans le nez ?

 

How much does it cost to reshape the nose without surgery ? The cost of medical rhinoplasty varies depending on the product used, the defect to be corrected, and the amount of product required. It is lower than that of traditional surgical rhinoplasty.
The price of a hyaluronic acid injection in the nose is 750 CHF per syringe. In the vast majority of cases, one syringe is sufficient to achieve a natural and harmonious result.
The total cost of a hyaluronic acid injection in the nose is therefore fixed, unless a combined treatment involving another area of the face is planned. A personalised quote is provided during the preliminary medical consultation.

Medical rhinoplasty reviews

Patient reviews of medical rhinoplasty are generally very positive. Many highlight the simplicity and speed of the procedure, which is performed in just five minutes at the clinic. Patients appreciate the immediate and natural results achieved without pain or scarring. The quick recovery is considered a major advantage, as it allows patients to resume daily activities immediately after the session.

Are there any problems that medical rhinoplasty cannot solve?

The general structure of the nose cannot be changed without surgery. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is indicated for certain minor imperfections.
