What is medical rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty without surgery is an aesthetic procedure that consists of injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose to correct certain defects. It is an alternative to classic rhinoplasty, which requires cosmetic surgery. This non-invasive and non-surgical technique is offered by Dr. Thanacody, at the BIOLASER center in Saint-Louis near Mulhouse and Basel.
Indications for rhinoplasty without surgery
Rhinoplasty without surgery is generally indicated in the following cases:
- Filling a hollow (saddle);
- Correction of a bump, deviation or irregular volumes;
- Correction of an asymmetrical nose;
- Elongation of a nose that is too short;
- Correction to straighten the tip of the nose.
Rhinoplasty by injection consists of restoring the missing volume with a certain amount of hyaluronic acid. Patients whose nose is too large, too large or too wide cannot therefore use this technique. Tissue reduction, remodeling of the bones and cartilages of the nose are only possible through surgical rhinoplasty.
When to do a rhinoplasty without surgery?
Medical rhinoplasty is very advantageous because it allows you to correct your nose when:
• You don’t need a minor touch-up, no need for volume reduction.
• You want to have a test done before committing to cosmetic surgery, which is more extensive.
• You have already had a surgical rhinoplasty and you want to do minor touch-ups.
• You want to treat the appearance of signs of aging (it is possible that the shape of the nose changes with age).
How is an injection rhinoplasty performed?
Rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid is performed using a needle or micro-cannula. The filler is then injected deeply. The aesthetic doctor then proceeds to a manual massage in order to distribute the active ingredients.
Is rhinoplasty by injection painful?
Medical rhinoplasty is a non-invasive and almost painless procedure. In addition, the injected product contains an anesthetic. For the most sensitive areas such as the tip of the nose or the columella, it is possible to apply an anesthetic cream 30 minutes before the session.
What are the results of rhinoplasty without surgery?
Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, rhinoplasty by hyaluronic acid injection is visible immediately. The results last from 12 to 24 months and touch-up sessions can be done once a year.
