Surgical rhinoplasties (nose jobs) are one of the best known and most popular types of plastic surgeries, but not as many people realize that a non-surgical nose job is a viable alternative in many cases. These procedures are actually a form of nose augmentation – they can only make the nose larger — but you might be surprised to know that, not only can an injectable improve the contours of the nose, applied correctly can even make the nose less pronounced in some cases. Dr. J is a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who regularly performs surgical rhinoplasties, but he also provides this alternative treatment that can be an outstanding choice for some patients.
What You Should Know about Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Similar to other procedures that plump up certain portions of the face, non-surgical rhinoplasties use a hyaluronic acid filler to fill in spaces and/or create a more pleasing and symmetrical appearance. It can also be used to correct disfigurement in some cases. Because hyaluronic fillers have a limited life, these procedures are temporary though their benefits can last longer than a year.
Why Get a Non-Surgical Nose Job?
While traditional rhinoplasties have a great many benefits, they are not necessarily right for everyone. These procedures are typically most common for people who are interested in a non-surgical approach but who don’t want to commit to downtime and a recovery period following a surgical nose job. They are often used to fill in areas around bumps to make them less visible and can be very effective for people who are concerned with the appearance of their profile. They are also good for patients who have been unhappy with the outcomes of past rhinoplasties, but whose nose tissue may be too sensitive for a revision procedure at present.
What about Side-Effects and Downtime?
Since the procedure is nonsurgical, there is essentially no downtime and very little risk of side effects more serious than redness and bruising. Moreover, very little discomfort is involved.
