Non-nose surgery rhinoplasty is a relatively new word in medicine, and few people know what it is.If many have heard about classical surgical intervention, then in this case some questions arise.If you have a complex due to deficiencies related to the organ of smell, and ugly tips, humps or depression interfere with your life, then you will definitely know what non-surgical rhinoplasty is.
Rhinoplasty is non-surgical and confidential
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a way to correct the shape of the nose without surgery.The essence of this method is to introduce a special filler or thread into this area, which slightly corrects the shape and gives symmetry to this part of the face.Ideal for patients who do not have breathing problems, deviated septum or nasal bones.If there is a small flaw in the shape of the nose, then using fillers is an ideal solution, as they will help correct this problem.It should also be noted that the term "non-surgical rhinoplasty" is somewhat incorrect and contradicts itself."Rhinoplasty" is a surgical operation on the nose, and the definition of "non-surgical" to use in this context is not entirely logical.
But experts agree to call the correction procedure "filler" precisely to convey the essence of the method to patients who have little information about how to correct the shape of the nose.This procedure should not be considered a complete alternative to surgery.It aims to combat certain defects that cannot be eliminated by surgery.And, on the other hand, it cannot solve the problem that is surgically removed.Often, this technique is performed in cases where the patient is not satisfied with the results of rhinoplasty surgery and requires adjustment of the resulting nose shape.Before agreeing to the procedure, we recommend studying before and after photos to get a rough idea of the possible results.The nose cannot be reduced without surgery.By the way, nasal cartilage tends to increase with age, so some patients may report that their noses become larger as they age.
5 clear differences between non-surgical rhinoplasty
This procedure has several differences from surgery, including:
- absence of complex surgery, long and painful recovery period;
- speed of procedure;
- reasonable cost;
- short-term effects (lasting up to a year);
- inability to correct respiratory and other serious problems.
In other words, this is an almost simple procedure that guarantees a mild effect aimed at solving minor problems with the shape of the nose.For example, it can be used to improve the tip of the nose, remove some defects, or even relief.This technique can be carried out when the results become less clear.The main condition is patient satisfaction with the results obtained.If a client comes in who has had their nose filled with filler in the past, I use hyaluronidase to dissolve any filler left in the nose before any further injections are performed.Basically, we are starting over a new leaf.Otherwise, there will be fillers in the nose that are at different stages of dissolution, which will lead to an uneven nose over time.
Results of non-surgical rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty allows you to achieve the following results:
- obtain shape symmetry;
- Elimination of small flaws in the form of curls or tubercles under the skin;
- minor curvature correction;
- raise the tip of the nose;
- Adds subtlety to the wings of the nose.
As you can see from this list, a non-surgical rhinoplasty is more of a corrective rhinoplasty than one that corrects a serious problem.Before signing up for this technique, the patient should consult a doctor, receive recommendations and get a rough idea of the results, to avoid disappointment from the procedure.What you do not expect from non-surgical rhinoplasty is a radical change in the shape of the nose and a solution to problems with respiratory function.This technique is not intended to combat this problem.
What method is used to perform the procedure?
What methods are there, how is the procedure done?Conventionally, non-surgical rhinoplasty can be divided into the following types:
- Filler. This technique involves the introduction of fillers based on hyaluronic acid.They fill small irregularities, allow you to get out of the surface of the skin and make a symmetrical nose.Preparations based on hyaluronic acid and others are often used here.This product is usually classified as biodegradable, that is, it dissolves over time.There are also permanent fillers made on the basis of silicone or other biopolymers, but modern experts advise against the use of such fillers, as they can cause tissue fibrosis.
- Benang. APTOS threads have been used for facelifts for about 20 years;They allow you to tighten and correct not only the contour of the cheekbones and the contour of the face, but also change the shape of the nose.The best choice for those who want to lift the tip of the nose or smooth out small wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, visually increasing its outline.Thread can also be biodegradable or permanent.
- Hormonal drugs. They are also injected under the skin.They allow you to eliminate small defects and make your nose visually thinner.Medicines are not meant to fix bone tissue.They dissolve defects.It is important that the correct dosage is followed.
- splints. This name is given to devices made of plastic or plaster.Its use is aimed at correcting the contours of the olfactory organ.This device puts pressure on the cartilage tissue, thereby correcting the imperfection.With its help, you can raise the nose, narrow the wings, and smooth out the curvature.But you need to understand that this method will not lead to big changes, but will only overcome small corrections.
The non-surgical rhinoplasty method is selected individually.In each case, the cosmetologist must consult with the patient and explain why the chosen method should be used.
Indications and contraindications for
This procedure should be carried out if certain defects are present.
Hint:
- The tip of his nose melted;
- minor deviations are observed;
- There is asymmetry;
- The upper bridge of the nose is flat;
- Sagging skin in this area.
Facial fillers can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose.But to reduce the nostrils or overall shape, surgery is required.

This procedure is contraindicated in certain cases.
Contraindications:
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- acute inflammatory process;
- infectious diseases;
- herpes in the acute stage;
- Diabetes mellitus;
- The presence of allergies to active ingredients and drugs.
This procedure can be done upon reaching adulthood and then at any age.
Recovery period
There is no such recovery period.For several hours after the procedure, redness and swelling of the skin in the nose area can be observed, however, this problem disappears completely within 24 hours.When a thread lift is performed, bruises can form, which completely disappear within a week.Also, a special splint is used for the patient's nose, which guarantees the result and protects against injury.The filler can become unmanageable after injection, and the thread inserted under the skin of the nose can break.The possibility of side effects occurring is very low, however, if any are detected, it is necessary to immediately contact a specialist to solve the problem quickly.
Bruising and swelling may occur after the procedure.It will take about 2 weeks for them to disappear completely.If after this period you still have these symptoms, you should visit your doctor.

The benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty
What are the pros and cons of this nose job?The main advantages of this technique include:
- pain;
- short or no recovery period;
- rapid achievement of results;
- repeatability.
A question may arise regarding reproducibility, because if the procedure has to be repeated again with a stable frequency, can this be considered an advantage?In a sense, yes, because with classic rhinoplasty, it is impossible to return the previous result;You may face unsuccessful results.And what to do if it turns out that the patient is not satisfied with the new shape of the nose?Corrective plastic surgery will help to correct the situation to some extent, but it is not possible to completely reverse the result.And non-surgical rhinoplasty will allow you to return to your previous shape at any time without any changes.The duration of the results depends on the filler used (preparations with hyaluronic acid).Usually a repeat procedure is required after 9-12 months.
Expert Opinion
I can't call that procedure safely.In my practice, there are often cases when patients come after the same method and experience severe skin ischemia.If the filler is introduced incorrectly, it can cause cartilage deformation;This is a direct indication for subsequent corrective surgery.Therefore, you should choose a specialist carefully.Based on the information above, you can easily conclude that non-surgical rhinoplasty is not suitable for everyone.If we are talking about small defects that can be eliminated with fillers and slight adjustments to the shape, then this procedure makes sense.In other cases, when correcting a serious defect, such as a deviated septum or a bent bone, it is necessary to perform a classic operation and eliminate the problem using a painful but complete method.In the presence of small defects, non-surgical rhinoplasty can correct the situation and give symmetry to the face.But it is worth remembering the risk of side effects.
