Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a complex surgical procedure in plastic surgery aimed at improving the nose’s appearance. Often, a SeptoRhinoplasty is performed to correct internal defects like a deviated septum or nasal obstructions. It can also restore the nose’s original shape following significant injuries or accidents.

During Rhinoplasty, a cosmetic surgeon works on the nasal bone, cartilage, and soft tissues, either altering their structure or adding tissue for aesthetic enhancement. Patients choose this procedure for various reasons, such as correcting a small or large nose, addressing a deviated or crooked nose, removing a nose hump, or refining the tip and nostrils.

Rhinoplasty demands precision and expertise, making it one of the most intricate procedures in plastic surgery.

1. Reducing a Large Nose: Rhinoplasty can help reduce the size of a notably large nose, achieving a more balanced and proportionate facial appearance.
2. Augmenting a Small Nose: For those with small noses, rhinoplasty can enlarge the nose by modifying cartilage or adding cartilage/soft tissue. Silicone implants can also be used for augmentation.
3. Hump Reduction: Rhinoplasty can lower the dorsal hump, creating a straighter profile by reshaping the nasal bridge.
4. Deviated/Crooked Nose: In cases where the nose is deviated or crooked, rhinoplasty can straighten and center the nose for improved symmetry.
5. Reducing a Wide Tip: Rhinoplasty can address a wide nasal tip, which may result from excess cartilage or thick skin and soft tissue. The procedure can refine and narrow the tip, providing a more defined appearance.

Rhinoplasty is a versatile procedure that can be tailored to each patient’s unique concerns and aesthetic goals. Consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon is essential to discuss specific issues and determine the best approach to achieve the desired results.

An ideal candidate for rhinoplasty surgery is someone, male or female, who has realistic expectations and is unhappy with the appearance of their nose or experiencing breathing problems due to issues in the nasal airways.

Support for the upper part consists of bone (hard), while the lower part features cartilage (soft to firm) for structure. Covering this framework are the overlying skin and soft tissues.

Radix/Root: The uppermost and deepest point of the nose. Tip: The lowermost and most projecting part of the nose, just above the nostrils (air passages). Dorsum/Bridge: The elevated part of the nose extending down from the Radix/Root to the Tip. Base: The lower and widermost part of the nose. Septum: The central partition between the two nostrils (air passages).

In the non-surgical rhinoplasty technique, we use a specialized injection syringe with a 27 or even 30-gauge needle, one of the finest known at .01025 of an inch (about the thickness of six human hairs). We deliver tiny micro-droplets of filler specifically under the nasal skin where your nose requires attention. This prompts your body to naturally react, forming an invisible microscopic wall of natural tissue around the filler, resulting in a lasting improvement.

To ensure patient comfort, we apply a prescription anesthetic ointment to the skin before the procedure.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty, also known as injection rhinoplasty or the “15-minute nose job,” is a minimally invasive and permanent technique for reshaping the nose. Unlike traditional surgical rhinoplasty, this procedure typically takes only about 15 minutes and does not involve surgery or incisions.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is particularly effective for addressing various aesthetic concerns, such as:

1. Asymmetrical Nostrils: It can help balance uneven nostrils.
2. Broken Nose or Imperfections: This technique can conceal imperfections or irregularities on the nose.
3. Concealing Nasal Bump: It’s useful for camouflaging a nasal bump.
4. Twisted or Asymmetrical Noses: Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of twisted or asymmetric noses.
5. First-time Nose Job: It’s an option for individuals considering their first nose job who prefer a non-surgical approach.
6. Revision Nose Job: It can be used to correct issues from a previous surgical nose job.
7. Nose Tip Refinement or Lifting: Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty can refine and lift the nasal tip.
8. Bridge Augmentation: It can enhance the nasal bridge.
9. Dips and Divots: The procedure can address depressions and irregularities on the exterior of the nose.

It’s important to note that non-surgical rhinoplasty is not designed to make the nose significantly smaller or larger; rather, it focuses on addressing specific aesthetic concerns and improving the overall appearance of the nose. Additionally, it does not have the capability to address internal nasal issues.

In terms of risks, non-surgical rhinoplasty is generally considered safe and has a high rate of success and patient satisfaction. Side effects and complications are rare, and the procedure is minimally invasive, making it an attractive option for those seeking nose enhancement without the need for surgery.

Overall, non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a quick and effective solution for many nasal aesthetic concerns, and it has garnered positive reviews and results in practice.

Your rhinoplasty surgeon will provide you with the actual cost estimate. Since each case is unique, the required skills and time will vary. Therefore, it’s advisable to consult your surgeon regarding cost-related matters.

In our experience, the non-surgical rhinoplasty technique has had a near-perfect record of success and patient satisfaction. It is free from side effects.

After the procedure, the patient is fit to go anywhere they want right away. This procedure has no downtime, and the patient does not experience any swelling or bruising.
