Get to know Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Ennis

Dermal fillers have been used in cosmetic medicine for years. Typically they are used to fill in wrinkles and plump an aging face. This is performed by adding volume to the skin. The fillers provide age restoring outcomes without changing the face appearance. The non-surgical rhinoplasty applies the same principle of added volume, placed in strategic areas of the nose. With added volume, the skilled practitioner is able to sculpt a more proportioned nose that is aesthetically pleasing.

Non-surgical vs. surgical rhinoplasty

Before the non-surgical nose job, the only way to change the look of the nose was through surgery. Surgical rhinoplasty is an effective cosmetic procedure that can yield beautiful results, if performed by a skilled plastic surgeon. However, it is invasive and requires a significant recovery period.

The non-surgical rhinoplasty is a much quicker and less invasive procedure. It is not intended for patients who are looking to reduce the size of a very large nose. This procedure cannot alter wide nostrils or shorten the nasal projection. The filler cannot reduce the length or width of the nose. A surgical rhinoplasty is indicated for individuals who are looking to change the width of the nose or length of the nose.

For individuals who are looking for more subtle changes, such as altering the nasal tip or correcting for a dorsal bump, a non-surgical approach may be an appropriate option.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment areas

There are several common complaints of nasal shape that can be improved with a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure. These include: altering the nasal tip, modifying a low bridge, correcting for asymmetry and hiding a dorsal bump.

Dorsal augmentation can be done for individuals with a low or wide nasal bridge. By injecting filler to the area of the nasal bridge, the bridge becomes more prominent and defined. Dorsal bumps can be treated with dermal fillers. The fillers are placed above and below the bump to camouflage it. This fills in the concavities that surround the bump, making a smooth profile and hiding the bump in the filled in space. A drooping or small nasal tip can be altered by injecting filler directly into the tip in a skilled fashion. Any areas of asymmetry can be corrected by filling in concavities.

The outcomes of injection are dependent on the skill of the plastic surgeon. By having a clear understanding of facial balance, the skilled clinician can create beautifully natural results.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure

The first step is to meet with the plastic surgeon to discuss the desired outcomes and goals for the cosmetic procedure. The surgeon will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if a non-surgical rhinoplasty will sufficiently alter the nose for the desired outcomes. If the patient is looking for more dramatic results, then the surgeon may suggest a surgical nose job. If the non-surgical procedure is indicated, then the procedure is rather simple.

The surgeon will skillfully inject dermal filler into the targeted area, depending on the goals of the procedure. Most of the injectable fillers contain a local anesthetic to reduce discomfort during the procedure. The surgeon uses a variety of fillers including Juvederm. These fillers are typically used to plump facial wrinkles and have been proven to be safe overtime.

This procedure does not affect normal breathing, as the filler is injected into the skin of the nose. Patients are awake during the procedure and are able to give feedback as the surgeon injects the fillers. This procedure does not cause nasal bleeding or swelling. There is no long term scarring to the nose. There may be some redness after injection right after surgery. However, by the next day this is typically resolved. Most people are able to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure. There is no need for anesthesia. This is not considered a permanent* correction, as the dermal fillers typically last 6 months. With maintenance injections, the results can be long lasting. Results are immediate. Typically only one treatment is required to correct the nose shape.
