• Reassembling or projecting the tip of the nose

In such instances, rhinoplasty without surgery is a technique of augmentation that avoids cartilage transplantation when it is not necessary.

The shape of the nose increases with time, because it's an organ that continues to grow over time. Medical rhinoplasty is the perfect technique for treating the appearance of signs of aging that do not require surgical intervention. It also allows us to make a first assessment of the result before an operation or to modify the nose after an operation to perfect the final result.

On the other hand, only surgical rhinoplasty can remove the excess tissue in order to change the cartilaginous and bony structures of the nose, to adjust the contours and to reduce the size.

The doctor begins by disinfecting the skin. He then injects hyaluronic acid into the nose in depth, directly in contact with bone or cartilage, using a very fine needle or microcannula. Then he remodels the area with his fingers to put the product in position. The injections are carried out step by step and the patient verifies the improvement of his nose at each step with the help of a mirror.

Medical rhinoplasty is completely painless because the filling product contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that ensures maximum patient comfort during treatment.

Some areas, such as the tip of the nose and the part of the nose between the two nostrils (columella) being more delicate, the doctor may also suggest the use of an anesthetic ointment.

The injection session lasts barely ten minutes.

Radiesse is an alternate solution to hyaluronic acid which has the same volumizing properties while botulinum toxin can be used in addition to remove the folds located on either side of the nose on its upper part when the person smiles.

There is redness and a slight edema for a few hours after the medical rhinoplasty. Some bruises that are easily masked with a foundation can remain for a week or so.

It is recommended to avoid pressing the nose for 24 hours in order not to move the freshly injected product.

After treatment, the nose may be sensitive for a few days, but this sensitivity quickly disappears. Sun exposure, sauna or steam rooms shall be prohibited for two weeks. It is advisable to wait one to two days before any sport activity can be resumed.

Work can be resumed right away.

The result of medical rhinoplasty is immediately apparent and lasts between 12 and 18 months. It takes a couple of days for the product to settle in.

It is frequent for a doctor to perform a retouch fifteen days after the first session to give the final touch. In case of over-correction, it is possible to dissolve hyaluronic acid in the nose with an enzyme (hyaluronidase).
