Many have heard of classic surgical interventions, but non-surgical rhinoplasty is a relatively new technique in medicine, and of course there are many questions about it. This article will tell you about the nuances of performing and restoring non-surgical rhinoplasty. It will be very useful for those who have a complex about nasal imperfections, but are not prepared for surgical intervention.
What is it and how is it done?
Surgical defect correction includes the installation of special fillers or threads, with the help of which the shape of the nose is corrected and symmetry is given.
This method is suitable for those with minor deficiencies that are not accompanied by respiratory problems and distorted septum or nasal bones.
This method cannot be cited as a complete alternative to surgical intervention (except laser rhinoplasty), as some defects can be corrected only with classic rhinoplasty.
The difference between non-surgical and classic rhinoplasty is as follows:
- simplicity in execution, no long and painful recovery period (we have described how recovery occurs with conventional rhinoplasty here);
- execution speed;
- reasonable cost;
- short-term effects;
- failure to resolve a serious problem.
It should be noted that thisprocedure can be performed whenever the severity of the effect is weakened.
Plastic type without surgery
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can be of several types. How each is done and how long the results will be described in detail below.
Injection
Nasal plastic with filler - medicine for injection, used as a filler to correct defects caused by tissue deficiency.This procedure does not cause side effects,does not cause swelling and dissolves on its own within 1. 5 years.
The nasal area is treated with antiseptic, and then the filler is injected subcutaneously. The whole procedure takes about half an hour, after which the patient can go home.
Filler can be:
- biodegradable- produced based on bio - hyaluronic acid, collagen;
- biodegradable- synthetic materials - silicone and so on;
- autologous- the body's own adipose tissue.
Injectable rhinoplasty is also considered a hormone medication. This procedure requires high attention and precision, because if the correct dose is not adhered to, the condition will worsen.The effects after the procedure are quite long,but complications in the form of tissue atrophy may occur.
Laser
In this case, instead of a scalpel for nasal plastic surgery, lasers are used, therefore, the incision is softer, and bleeding is eliminated as a result of vessel burning.
The surgical approach to laser surgery is not much different from the classic rhinoplasty.
With the help of lasers, the task of a surgeon is simplified, not only to speed up the operation itself, but also to shorten the recovery time. Prior to surgery, patients must prepare, undergo tests, and consult a narrow specialist. With laser rhinoplasty done properly, the results are maintained for a long time.
Thread
Many plastic surgeons do not consider this type of rinoplasty effective, so it is not uncommon. Often, threads are used to correct the shape of the tip or wing of the nose (read about conventional rhinoplasty techniques of the nose, the tip and other parts here). Specialists make a small puncture in which the thread is inserted. Leather and cloth are fitted in place with artificial materials. The effect lasts a long time.
Langettes
langette is a special device that looks like a plastic clip. It is designed to be worn for several hours a day, so that deformities of cartilage tissue can be achieved. However, it will take several months to know the significant effects. You can fix minor defects:
- restores symmetry to the nose;
- straighten small bumps;
- lift the tip of the nose (you will learn how to solve the problem on the tip of the nose with the help of classic rhinoplasty from special materials);
- reduces wing width.
Before and after photos
We further recommend that you familiarize yourself with the patient's before and after photos of the patient, performed without surgery.
Reading
Injected rinoplasty is performed in the following cases:
- hump in the back of the nose;
- flat back;
- nasal asymmetry;
- down and down the valley;
- the tip of the nose is drooping;
- acute nasal angle;
- needs correction after rhinoplasty surgery.
The instructions for laser rhinoplasty are:
- change the length of the nose;
- the bridge of the nose is too wide;
- dorsum nose is not aesthetic;
- wide or narrow ends;
- the nostrils are too wide or too narrow;
- wing correction.
There are functional instructions for this procedure:
- nasal injury with fractures or cartilage;
- congenital curvature of the nasal dorsum, which interferes with airway;
- basic cartilage defects.
Contraindications
Some contraindications:
- presence of oncological diseases;
- allergic reactions - possible allergies to fillers injected under the skin;
- period of pregnancy and lactation;
- early childhood - cartilage tissue in children is not fully formed, and premature correction can lead to worsening conditions in the future;
- is not recommended to perform the procedure during menstruation.
Why is this technique dangerous?
Although non-surgical rhinoplasty does not significantly affect the overall condition of the body, it can lead to unintended consequences:
- Improper insertion of fillers under the skin can cause helium lumps to move sideways over time, and the resulting shape changes.
- There is a risk of infection and infection.
- Swelling and bruising appear immediately after the procedure, but as a result most cases disappear without treatment within a few days.
- It is impossible to change the shape of the nose immediately after an unsuccessful procedure, as the medication given is continuous, and the separation begins only after a few months.
Other complications include:
- pain;
- redness of the skin;
- emboli changes on vessels;
- fibrotic changes at the injection site;
- allergies;
- accumulation of whiteness in a nearby injection zone.
Complications can be short-term or long-term, if there is a persistent deterioration in appearance or well-being, you should see a specialist.
Often, various complications after non-surgical rhinoplasty occur when the procedure is performed by a low-skilled physician or in a non-specialized salon.
To protect yourself from such inactive phenomena, you need to take a responsible approach to the choice of the clinic and doctor who will direct the procedure, and, if necessary, properly prepare for the procedure. In addition, it is necessary to tell the doctor in advance about the existing diseases, including chronic ones, because the choice of method will depend on this.
We discuss what are the expected consequences for patients after classical rhinoplasty and how it can be avoided here.
Recovery
The advantage of non-surgical rhinoplasty is that it has a short recovery period. On average, it will take 1-2 days for all the bruises and hematomas to disappear. Swollen tissue can last up to 5 days and to reduce it faster, it is recommended to apply ice compresses to the place of exposure in the first hour after the procedure - this will prevent the spread of edema.

Dissatisfaction with one's appearance is often the cause of one's complexity, the development of depression and psychosis. But sometimes it is enough to pull the tip of the nose slightly, so that life sparkles with bright colors and self-confidence emerges.
But not everyone, although very dissatisfied with their appearance, can afford the classic rhinoplasty - some are afraid of its price, others are afraid of complications and unsuccessful operations, and some are afraid of a long recovery. In this case, it makes sense to think of non-surgical rhinoplasty, which, while not a complete alternative to surgical intervention, could easily overcome some of the shortcomings.
