Many people dream of correcting the shape of the nose, and plastic surgeons often work with clients who want to make small adjustments and change their nose for the better.
But, first, radical surgical intervention does not give the patient a chance to correct the consequences of the operation (only minor corrections are possible).
Contour rhinoplasty refers to a non -surgical method of correcting the shape of the nose faster and safer than surgery.
For this, fillers based on hyaluronic acid, tissue itself (lipofilling) and other ingredients are used; thread; hormonal agents that soften the cartilage tissue of the nose, which makes it possible to correct its shape.
Second, the operation is more expensive and in the event of a surgeon’s mistake, the probability is always there, it is impossible to rectify the consequences. Today, as an alternative to this method, contours are successfully used, which are done faster and do not bring serious negative consequences.
For hormonal rhinoplasty, glucocorticosteroids are used, in which cartilage resorption is a side effect.
Therefore, to have an effect, they are given in large doses. It was displayed for a very long time - in six months.
A common complication when using hormonal rhinoplasty is nasal failure.
Indications and contraindications
Surgical nasal surgery is an effective way to achieve the desired results, but this kind of intervention can be canceled if minor corrections are needed in a particular area.
The instructions for contour rhinoplasty, which allows it to be performed quickly and safely, are:
- too thin, tip of nose drooping or upside down;
- bump;
- nose asymmetrical;
- different deviations;
- scars and other similar defects.
Contour correction has a number of contraindications, which can be absolute and relative. The first group includes oncological diseases, individual intolerance to the drugs used and their components, hemophilia, autoimmune diseases and diseases of the endocrine system.
Relative contraindications are factors that do not allow the nose to be corrected without surgery at a certain point in time, but over time the procedure becomes possible.
These contraindications are:
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- ARVI;
- rhinitis;
- inflammation of the skin area in the area of the proposed rhinoplasty procedure;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- recovery period after complex cosmetic procedures.
This procedure is not performed for people under 18 years of age. This is due to the fact that bone and cartilage tissue at this age is not yet fully formed, and medical intervention can cause negative deviations.
What disadvantages will contour rhinoplasty correct?
Since non -surgical rhinoplasty may not help in all cases, it is important to know when such a method will be appropriate and will help solve the patient’s problem. This medical procedure is guaranteed to eliminate:
- Asymmetrical shapenose. After the rhinoplasty procedure, the nose becomes even, regardless of what caused such deviation (trauma, surgery, or present from birth).
- GorbinkiOn the nose. Sometimes these defects are not considered as such and do not affect aesthetic perception, but in some cases the bruises make a person’s face unattractive, and this is easily corrected with rhinoplasty.
- Form recoverynose after injury. Often after an accident, fight or sport, the shape of the nose becomes ugly due to damage, but this defect is quickly eliminated.
- Produce a varietyfailure, dimples and irregularities.
Also, the rhinoplasty specialist is asked to remove the stuffy nose or vice versa, to raise the tip of the nose.
How is the procedure
Before correcting the shape of the nose, it is necessary to visit a dermatologist. The doctor will check the tolerance of the medication used and the funds used during the procedure.
After that, you can discuss all the details of the operation with a rhinoplasty specialist. At this stage, the outcome is predicted, the correction zone is determined, and all additional customer requirements and other nuances are discussed.
Prior to correction, an anesthetic in the form of an ointment is applied on and around the nose, which begins to act after about 15 minutes. Next, the correction process is initiated, which can be done in different ways.
Non -surgical rhinoplasty with fillers
If a correction is made by introducing a filler, the procedure does not take more than forty minutes. At the same time, the changes can be seen immediately, because, unlike surgical interventions, this procedure has no consequences such as swelling, bruising and swelling that prevent doctors and patients from evaluating the outcome.
Fillers are called special gels of synthetic origin. The most common filler is hyaluronic acid. Such preparations do not contain toxins and are produced through bacterial synthesis. It turns out that environmentally friendly products that are completely safe, harmless to the body.
The main advantage of these types of fillers is their absolute resistance to enzymes produced by skin cells. Under the influence of such enzymes, the filler is not destroyed, so the corrections made are stored for a long time.
The filler is injected using a syringe with a fine needle. Such a needle ("cannula") differs from the usual by a rounded blunt tip, and the opening of the cannula is located on the side.
The drug is stored in a sealed package immediately before the procedure and opened immediately before the administration process. Depending on the depth at which the filler is injected and the desired effect, a large amount is used.
There are many different types of fillers, each of which differs in terms of duration and effectiveness. In addition to medicines based on hyaluronic acid, the following are also used:
- Autologous- made based on customer's own fabric.
- Biodegradation- is a gel preparation that is not exposed to chemical compounds of the human body, does not decompose and is removed from the body longer than other types.
- Biodegradation- decomposes under the influence of enzymes produced by the body, and over time removed, decomposes to the level of the simplest elements.
Each type has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, biodegradable fillers are not very expensive, but the effect of the introduction of such drugs lasts no more than 8-12 months.
More durable biodegradable fillers last longer in the body, but tissue fibrosis (proliferation of connective tissue and scarring) may occur if used.
Autologous drugs do not have such disadvantages, but are more expensive, and the procedure of using such fillers requires a certain amount of time to synthesize the drug.
Regardless of which filler is used for the nasal contour, after the procedure, it may be necessary to use the flakes to shape the shape of the nose correctly, but it does not require more than a day to wear such an accessory, after which the patient can remove it himself.
Non -surgical nasal surgery with hormone -based medications
In this case, it is not hormonal drugs in the literal sense of the word used, but their analogues, which are able to dissolve and soften part of the cartilage tissue of the nose for subsequent correction of its shape.
The complexity of such a procedure lies in the fact that the specialist needs to calculate the amount of drug injected accurately and determine the depth of injection correctly. In the event of failure, the formation of cavities in the nose and even uncontrolled tissue atrophy, provoked by excessive amounts of medication, are possible.
This method is not as fast as the others, and is usually a series of procedures, lasting two to three weeks. The effectiveness of this method is quite high, but doctors and patients achieve the desired result gradually, therefore, in the first days, there is no noticeable change.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to consult with an endocrinologist who will determine the hormonal background of the patient, and in some cases, the doctor states the impossibility of such a procedure due to problems with certain hormone levels.
Nasal correction without surgery with a thread
While using this method, a special thread is pulled through the area of the nose that needs correction, which is then pulled in a specific area.
As a result of this "pull-up", you can make the necessary changes in the shape of the nose.
For the first two days, adaptation takes place, after which the remnants of the yarn are removed. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is used primarily to reshape the wings and tip of the nose.
In modern contour rhinoplasty, thread has not been used as often as other methods. This is due to the fact that, at a relatively high cost, this method can fix only minor defects.
Recovery process
Unlike surgical interventions, which always involve complicated operations, non -surgical nasal contour rhinoplasty does not require a long recovery time at the end of the procedure.
Moreover, after nasal correction, in such cases, the patient can leave the clinic independently as soon as the operation is over without having to be under the supervision of a doctor.
The day after the contour correction, a person is able to return to their normal way of life, and after another three days in the mirror, you can see the final effect of the procedure.
But contour rhinoplasty can have some complications. These may be small local edema and bruising, but do not require additional procedures and medical intervention and disappear in a day or two.
The main thing to avoid during the recovery period, which lasts from a few days to a week - anything, even the slightest injury. This can lead to fibrosis, so if the activity of a person undergoing rhinoplasty is associated with physical activity or the risk of unintentional injury at work, it is best to take sick leave.
In addition, during the recovery period, it is necessary to limit the exposure of facial skin to open sunlight (especially in summer), you can not use cosmetics even in minimal amounts and do not visit the solarium. Baths and saunas are also not included these days.
Contour effectiveness
The effectiveness of rhinoplasty directly depends on three factors: on the type of procedure, in the case of fillers, on its type and on the cost of the tool.
Unlike the results of plastic surgery, the effects of non -surgical rhinoplasty last a maximum of three years, and this is provided that the most expensive biodegradable drugs are used.
Minimal changes with the use of inexpensive fillers are observed only for the first six to eight months, after which the procedure must be repeated. On average, the effects of this type of rhinoplasty last about one and a half years. It is impossible to mention the exact time, as it all depends on the specific metabolic characteristics of the patient and the breakdown of the filler components.
Possible complications
The procedure for non -surgical rhinoplasty is simple, painless and requires an average of half an hour. But this does not include the possibility of complications that in some cases can be observed in patients.
Sometimes the negative consequences of contour rhinoplasty can be seen during the recovery period, while recovery may take longer than a few days. If after a week the problem begins and complications are observed, it is necessary to undergo diagnostics, after which appropriate treatment will be prescribed.
The least dangerous complications include:
- slight swelling and bruising;
- pain in the correction area;
- swelling in the area that has undergone rhinoplasty.
Experts consider such consequences acceptable and do not advise taking special measures to eliminate such complications.
Much more serious is the situation when, as a result of the actions of a doctor, large blood vessels become clogged. This causes disrupted blood flow and the consequence of such complications in most cases is tissue death.
Embolism is accompanied by symptoms such as cramps, pain syndrome, areas of skin in the correction area may acquire a bluish color. If you get such symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately.
In very rare cases, an allergic reaction to one or more components present in the preparation used is possible. But provided that the procedure is carried out under the supervision of an experienced specialist, this probability can be minimized.
More rarely, after surgery, a violation of the shape of the nose may occur. This can happen due to the actions of an unskilled doctor, and because of the uniqueness of the patient’s cartilage and bone tissue. In such cases, the condition can only be improved with surgery.
In some cases, non -surgical rhinoplasty can have the following side effects:
- Some clinics may use medicationLow qualitywhich causes pain. By itself, the procedure of inserting a needle under the skin is a bit unpleasant, but if pain occurs, the doctor can use an anesthetic as an anesthetic. Anesthetic overdose, in turn, can cause unconsciousness.
- With the introduction of drugs that are not deep enough, there may begel protrusionand its migration under the skin. As a result, problem areas like this will look uneven and wavy. In people with thin skin, purple spots appear at the injection site.
- Inflammation- the body's normal reaction to the introduction of foreign substances. But if the inflammation at the injection site does not go away for more than three days, this is a reason to see a doctor. Often "nodules" form under the skin in the inflamed area, which can only be removed with surgery.
- Injections that are too deep causefiller migration. . . In such cases, it flows under the skin, changes its location, and as a result, the shape and facial features of the patient are distorted. The main reason for these side effects is the actions of incompetent doctors who are unable to determine the depth of drug administration correctly.
When deciding on a contour plast that does not require surgical intervention, it is necessary to clearly understand the prospects and consider all the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
In most cases, this is the best method of correcting the shape of the nose, but before the procedure, it is very important to undergo a full examination, based on contraindications to contour rhinoplasty: this will guarantee to avoid unpleasant consequences.
