Rhinoplasty of the nose without surgery is a relatively new word in medicine, and few people know what it is.If many people have already heard about classic surgical intervention, then in this case many questions arise.If you have complexes due to deficiencies related to the organ of smell, and an ugly hill, hump or depression disturbs your life, then you definitely need to find out what non-surgical rhinoplasty is.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty and its secrets
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a method of correcting the shape of the nose without surgery.The essence of the method is to introduce special fillers or fibers into this area, which slightly correct the shape and give symmetry to this part of the face.Ideal for patients without breathing problems, septum or deviated nasal bones.If there are minor defects in the shape of the nose, then the use of fillers is an ideal solution, as they help to correct these problems.It should also be noted that the term "non-surgical rhinoplasty" is somewhat incorrect and self-contradictory."Rhinoplasty" is a surgical procedure on the nose, and the definition of "non-surgical" does not make perfect sense in this context.
However, experts agreed to call the correction procedure "filler" in order to convey the essence of the method to patients who have little information about ways to correct the shape of the nose.This procedure cannot be considered a complete alternative to surgery.Its purpose is to overcome certain defects that cannot be eliminated by surgery.And vice versa, it cannot solve the problems that are removed by surgery.It often happens that the technique is performed in cases where the patient is dissatisfied with the results of surgical rhinoplasty and requires modification of the shape of the resulting nose.Before agreeing to the procedure, we recommend that you study the before and after pictures to get a rough idea of the possible results.The nose cannot be reduced without surgery.Additionally, nasal cartilage grows 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 rehabilitation period;
- the speed of the procedure;
- reasonable cost;
- short-term effect (lasts no more than one year);
- inability to correct breathing and other serious problems.
In other words, it is an almost simple procedure that guarantees a mild effect on minor problems related to the shape of the nose.It can be used, for example, to correct the tip of the nose, to get rid of a defect or to even out relief.This technique can be used when the results are less pronounced.The main condition is the patient's satisfaction with the obtained result.When clients come in who have previously had their noses filled with filler, I use hyaluronidase to dissolve any filler left in the nose before any additional injections are made.In essence, we are starting over with a new page.Otherwise, there will be fillers in the nose that are in various stages of dissolution, leading to an uneven nose over time.
Results of non-surgical rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty allows you to achieve the following results:
- achieving shape symmetry;
- elimination of small defects in the form of pits or tubercles under the skin;
- correction of minor curvature;
- raising the tip of the nose;
- It makes the wings of the nose more delicate.
As you can see from this list, non-surgical rhinoplasty is more of a corrective rhinoplasty than one that corrects serious problems.Before signing up for this technique, the patient should consult his doctor, get recommendations and get an approximate idea of the results to avoid disappointment from the procedure.What you cannot expect from non-surgical rhinoplasty is a radical change in the shape of the nose and a solution to breathing problems.The technique is not aimed at overcoming these problems.
What methods are used to perform the procedure?
What methods exist, how is the procedure carried out?Traditionally, non-surgical rhinoplasty of the nose can be divided into the following types:
- Fillers. This technique involves the introduction of fillers based on hyaluronic acid.They fill small irregularities, make it possible to even out the surface of the skin and make the nose symmetrical.Preparations based on hyaluronic acid and others are often used here.These products are usually considered biodegradable, meaning they dissolve over time.Silicone or other biopolymer-based permanent fillers also exist, but modern specialists advise against the use of such fillers, as they can cause tissue fibrosis.
- Threads. Aptos fibers have been used for face lifting for about 20 years;they make it possible not only to tighten and correct the cheekbones and facial contours, but also to change the shape of the nose.The best solution for those who want to lift the tip of the nose or smooth out small wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, visually improving its outline.Fibers can be biodegradable or permanent.
- Hormonal drugs. It is also given under the skin.They allow you to eliminate minor defects and visually make your nose thinner.Medicines are not intended to correct bone tissue.They fix the bugs.It is important to follow the exact dosage.
- rails. This name was given to the device made of plastic or plaster.Its use serves to correct the contour of the olfactory organ.This device applies pressure to the cartilage tissue, thereby correcting imperfections.With its help, you can lift the nose, narrow the wings and smooth out the curvature.But you need to understand that this method will not lead to colossal changes, but will only cope with minor corrections.
The method of non-surgical rhinoplasty is selected individually.In all cases, the beautician must consult with the patient and explain why the chosen method should be used.
Indications and contraindications a
The procedure must be performed in case of certain errors.
Indications:
- the tip of the nose hangs down;
- minor irregularities are detected;
- there is asymmetry;
- the upper nasal bridge is flat;
- sagging skin in this area.
Facial fillers can improve the symmetry of the nose.But surgery is needed to reduce the nostrils or overall shape.

The procedure is contraindicated in certain cases.
Contraindications:
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- acute inflammatory processes;
- infectious diseases;
- herpes in the acute stage;
- diabetes mellitus;
- the presence of allergies to active ingredients and medications.
The procedure can be performed upon reaching adulthood and at any age thereafter.
Rehabilitation period
There is no rehabilitation period as such.After the procedure, redness and swelling can be observed in the nose area for several hours, but these problems disappear completely within 24 hours.Bruising may occur during thread lifting, which will disappear completely within a week.In addition, a special splint is applied to the patient's nose, which ensures the result and protects against injuries.After the injection, the fillers may dislodge and the fibers inserted under the skin of the nose may break.The probability of these side effects is extremely low, but if they are detected, you should urgently contact a specialist for a quick solution to the problem.
Bruising and swelling may occur after the procedure.It takes about 2 weeks for them to disappear completely.If these symptoms persist after this period, see your doctor.

Advantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this nose correction?The main advantages of this technique are:
- pain relief;
- short or complete absence of the rehabilitation period;
- achieving results quickly;
- reversibility.
Questions may arise regarding reversibility, because if the procedure has to be repeated repeatedly with a stable frequency, is this considered an advantage?In a certain sense, yes, because with classic rhinoplasty it is simply impossible to return the previous result;you may encounter an unsuccessful result.And what to do if it turns out that the patient is dissatisfied with the new shape of the nose?Corrective plastic surgery helps to improve the situation to some extent, but the result cannot be completely reversed.Non-surgical rhinoplasty allows you to return to your previous shape at any time without any changes.The duration of the result depends on the filler used (hyaluronic acid preparations).A repeat procedure is usually required after 9-12 months.
Expert opinion
I cannot call the procedure completely safe.In my practice, there have often been cases where patients came after a similar method and experienced severe skin ischemia.If the filler is inserted incorrectly, it can cause deformation of the cartilage;this is a direct indication for subsequent corrective surgery.Therefore, choose a professional carefully.Based on the above information, you can easily conclude that rhinoplasty without surgery is not suitable for everyone.If we are talking about minor defects that can be eliminated with fillers and slight shape changes, then this procedure makes sense.In other cases, when it comes to correcting serious defects, such as a dilated septum or a crooked bone, a classic operation must be performed and the problem must be eliminated with a painful but complete method.For minor defects, non-surgical rhinoplasty can improve the situation and add symmetry to the face.But it is worth remembering the risk of side effects.
