How Does a Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Work?
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to improve the nose’s appearance. At Acqua Med Spa of Webster, TX, this procedure can correct minor imperfections such as bumps, dents, crookedness, and asymmetry. It also can change the shape or size of the nostrils and tip of the nose.
The procedure typically involves injecting dermal fillers into certain areas of the nose, which help fill in depressions and reshape them. The type of filler used depends on your desired outcome and is often made up of hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite. While these injections cannot completely reconstruct a broken or severely misshapen nose, they can make small improvements that have a big impact!
What To Expect During the Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Procedure
The procedure is typically done at Acqua Med Spa and takes about 30 minutes to perform. Anesthesia is generally not used during nonsurgical rhinoplasty, although some numbing cream may be applied prior to the injection of the fillers. The results of a nonsurgical rhinoplasty are usually visible immediately. However, it can take up to several weeks for the desired results to become fully apparent.
What Are the Common Risks and Side Effects of a Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty?
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is considered to be a minimally invasive procedure with minimal risks or side effects. Possible side effects include bruising, redness, swelling, and tenderness at the sites of injection. These side effects typically subside on their own within a few days or even up to a week following the procedure. However, the results of a nonsurgical rhinoplasty are not permanent and will require touch-ups every six to 12 months to maintain the desired effect.
Should I Consider a Surgical or Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty?
It should be noted that while nonsurgical rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of your nose, it cannot correct any underlying medical issues or change your nasal structure. If you are seeking for a more permanent solution, then you may want to consider surgical options such as rhinoplasty.
