Non-surgical rhinoplasty: reshaping the nose without surgery
Hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty non-invasively reshapes the nose.
Although many imperfections improve, bone reduction, excess skin or tip narrowing require surgery.
It has transformed nasal aesthetic care.
Advantages over surgery include:
- Immediate result.
- Reversibility through absorption.
- No major surgical after-effects.
- Previewing possible results before surgery.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid
How can a large or long nose or hump be treated?
Hyaluronic acid effectively addresses these requests.
Highly or moderately cross-linked products are used.
Placement is deep or superficial according to correction.
Long-trained, experienced medical injection is essential.
Failure may cause blindness or nasal necrosis, death of skin and underlying tissue.
Avoid masculinising a woman's nose or feminising a man's.
Unfortunately, this is common.
How does non-surgical rhinoplasty work?
Hyaluronic acid can:
- Correct drooping and improve definition.
- Improve symmetry.
- Correct nasal angles.
- Fill traumatic or genetic depressions.
- Correct a hump without surgery.
- Narrow nostrils.
- Soften alar grooves.
- Correct ageing-related rim thinning or nasolabial angle closure.
- Correct inspiratory nasal-valve dysfunction from upper lateral cartilage collapse onto the septum.
- Harmonise using beautiPHIcation.
How can a small nose be achieved without surgery?
Volume reduction requires surgery. Anatomy sometimes allows slight nostril narrowing or tip refinement.
What happens during a non-surgical rhinoplasty session?
- Initial assessment: goals, nose and face structure, possible results and contraindications.
- Photographs for before/after comparison.
- Personalised treatment plan.
- Thorough nasal disinfection.
- Topical anaesthetic cream may improve comfort.
- Cannula placement followed by massage for even product distribution.
What results does non-surgical rhinoplasty give?
Nasal hyaluronic acid before/after
Natural results rebalance the face.
The nose must suit facial shape; chin correction is often combined.
Results are immediate, but mild swelling and visible product occur on day one. Full integration and final results take seven days.
How long does non-surgical rhinoplasty last?
Generally six to twelve months according to product and metabolism; first treatment more often six to eight months.
Maintenance preserves results.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty risks and complications
Temporary redness, bruises, swelling or discomfort resolve within days. A hard, stiff feeling lasts a week.
Expert medical choice avoids possible serious necrosis or blindness.
Avoid sport for two days; glasses including goggles, sauna, steam rooms, UV cabins, massage and facial steam for one week.
Touch and usual skincare are possible, but avoid strong pressure for one week.
How much do nasal hyaluronic acid injections cost?
Cost depends on product, defect and amount, lower than surgery.
Nasal hyaluronic acid costs 750 CHF per syringe, usually one for natural harmony.
Total is therefore fixed unless combined with another area. Consultation provides a quotation.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty reviews
Reviews are very positive. Simple, five-minute practice treatment provides immediate, natural results without pain or scars.
Rapid recovery and immediate activities are valued.
A synthesis of 23 studies on injectable rhinoplasty reports high satisfaction after correction of certain nasal irregularities. Hyaluronic acid accounted for nearly three quarters of the treatments used. Injections can, for example, correct an irregular bridge or insufficient projection when the desired result can be achieved by adding volume. They cannot make the nose smaller.
A consensus on hyaluronic acid injections into the nose presents recommendations tailored to Asian patients. The authors highlight the importance of examining the bridge, tip and columella before proposing treatment. The choice of gel and injection technique should address the intended correction. These recommendations do not guarantee the same result for every nose shape.
Publications on anatomical differences in the nose highlight the need to compare the patient’s wishes with the possibilities of non-surgical rhinoplasty. Injections should be tailored to nose shape and facial proportions. The aim is to improve the profile or better define certain parts of the nose while preserving the features that give the face its identity.
