Many have heard of classical surgical intervention, but non-surgical rhinoplasty is a relatively new technique in medicine, and naturally there are many questions about it. This article will inform you about the nuances of performing and rehabilitating a non-surgical rhinoplasty, and will be especially helpful for those who experience complexes about nasal imperfections, but are not ready for surgical intervention.
What is it and how is it done?
Non-surgical correction of deficiencies consists in the installation of special fillers or threads, with the help of which the shape of the nose is corrected and symmetry is given.
This method is suitable for those who have minor defects that are not accompanied by respiratory problems and curvature of the septum or nasal bone.
This method cannot be considered a complete alternative to surgical intervention (with the exception of laser rhinoplasty), as some defects can only be corrected by classical rhinoplasty.
The differences between classic and non-surgical rhinoplasty are the following:
- simplicity in execution, there is no long and painful rehabilitation period (here we describe how rehabilitation occurs with conventional rhinoplasty);
- execution speed;
- affordable cost;
- short duration of effect;
- fails to troubleshoot serious problems.
It should be noted that thisprocedure can be performed as long as the effect is weakened.
Types of plastics without surgery
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can be of several types. How each of them is made and how long the result lasts will be described in detail below.
Injection
Filled Nasal Plasty - Injectable medications used as fillers to correct defects caused by lack of tissue.The procedure does not cause side effects,it does not cause swelling and dissolves on its own in 1. 5 years.
The nose area is treated with an antiseptic and then the filler is injected subcutaneously. The whole procedure takes about half an hour, after which the patient can go home.
The fillings can be:
- biodegradable- produced on the basis of bio-substances - hyaluronic acid, collagen;
- biodegradable- synthetic substances - silicone, etc.
- autologous: the body's own adipose tissue.
Injection rhinoplasty is also considered the administration of hormonal medications. This procedure requires the utmost care and precision, because if the exact dose is not observed, the situation can get worse.The effect after the procedure is quite long,but complications in the form of tissue atrophy can occur.
Laser
In this case, instead of a scalpel for plastic surgery of the nose, a laser is used, so the incisions are smoother and bleeding is eliminated by cauterizing the vessels.
The surgical approach to laser surgery is not very different from classical rhinoplasty.
With the help of a laser, the surgeon's task is simplified, it is possible not only to speed up the operation itself, but also to shorten the rehabilitation period. Before the operation, the patient must prepare, undergo tests and consult with limited specialists. With a correctly performed laser rhinoplasty, the result is maintained for a long time.
Threads
Many plastic surgeons do not consider this type of rhinoplasty to be effective, so it is not common. Most of the time, the threads are used to correct the shape of the tip or wings of the nose (read about conventional rhinoplasty techniques of the wings of the nose, their tip and other parts here). The specialist makes small punctures where the threads are inserted. Leather and fabrics are fixed in position with artificial material. The effect lasts for a long time.
Langettes
Langette is a special device that looks like a plastic clothespin. It is designed to be worn for several hours a day, so that changes in the shape of the cartilage tissue can be achieved. However, it will take several months to know the pronounced effect. You can fix minor defects:
- returns symmetry to the nose;
- straightens a small hump;
- lift the tip of the nose (you will learn to solve problems with the tip of the nose with the help of classic rhinoplasty from a special material);
- reduces the width of the wings.
Before and after photos
Next, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the photos of the patients before and after the nasal plasty, which was performed without surgery.
Readings
Injection rhinoplasty is performed in the following cases:
- hump at the back of the nose;
- flat back;
- nasal asymmetry;
- falls and valleys;
- tip of nose drooping;
- acute angles of the nose;
- need for correction after surgical rhinoplasty.
The indications for laser rhinoplasty are:
- changing the length of the nose;
- nasal bridge too wide;
- unsightly nasal dorsum;
- broad or narrow tip;
- nostrils are too wide or too narrow;
- wing correction.
There are functional hints for this procedure:
- nasal lesion with bone or cartilage fracture;
- congenital curvature of the back of the nose, making it difficult for air to pass;
- cartilage base defect.
Contraindications
Various contraindications:
- presence of oncological disease;
- predisposition to allergic reactions - possible allergy to fillers injected under the skin;
- period of pregnancy and lactation;
- early childhood - cartilage tissue in children is not fully formed and premature correction can lead to a worsening of the situation in the future;
- it is not recommended to perform procedures during menstruation.
Why is this technique dangerous?
Although non-surgical rhinoplasty has a very low effect on the condition of the body as a whole, it can have undesirable consequences:
- Incorrect insertion of padding under the skin can cause helium clumps to move to one side over time and the resulting shape will change.
- There is a risk of infection and infection.
- Swelling and bruising appear immediately after the procedure, but these consequences in most cases disappear without treatment within a couple of days.
- It is impossible to change the shape of the nose immediately after a failed procedure, since the administered drugs are persistent and their division begins only after a few months.
Other complications include:
- pain;
- redness of the skin;
- embolic changes in vessels;
- fibrotic changes at the injection site;
- allergies;
- whitish clusters in adjacent injection sites.
Complications can be short or long term, if there is a persistent deterioration in appearance or well-being, you should consult a specialist.
Most complications after nonsurgical rhinoplasty occur when the procedure is performed by a low-skilled physician or in unskilled salons.
To protect yourself from such inactive phenomena, you need to take a responsible approach in choosing the clinic and doctor who will direct the procedure, as well as, if necessary, properly prepare for the procedure. In addition, it is necessary to inform the doctor in advance about existing diseases, including chronic ones, since the choice of method will depend on this.
Here we talk about the consequences that patients can expect after classic rhinoplasty and how they can be avoided.
Rehabilitation
The peculiarity of non-surgical rhinoplasty is that it has a short rehabilitation period. On average, all bruises and bruises will take 1 to 2 days to disappear. The swelling of the tissues can remain for up to 5 days and, to reduce it more quickly, it is recommended to apply ice packs to the exposure site in the first hours after the procedure; This will prevent the spread of edema.

Dissatisfaction with one's appearance often becomes the cause of a person's complexes, the development of depression and psychosis. But sometimes it is enough to lift the tip of the nose a little, so that life shines with bright colors and self-confidence appears.
But not all people, even those who are very dissatisfied with their appearance, can afford classic rhinoplasty: some are afraid of the price, others fear complications and failed operations, and some fear a long period of rehabilitation. In this case, it makes sense to think about non-surgical rhinoplasty, which, although it cannot be a complete alternative to surgical intervention, can easily cope with some drawbacks.
