Many have heard of classical surgery, but non-surgical rhinoplasty is a relatively new technique in medicine, and of course there are many questions about it. This article will tell you about the nuances of performing and rehabilitating non-surgical rhinoplasty. It will be especially useful for those who experience complexes around nasal imperfections but are not ready for surgery.
What is it and how is it done?
Non-surgical correction of defects 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 associated with breathing problems and curvature of the septum or nasal bones.
This method can not be called a complete alternative to surgical intervention (with the exception of laser rhinoplasty), as some defects can only be corrected by classical rhinoplasty.
Differences between non-surgical and classical rhinoplasty are as follows:
- simplicity in execution, no long and painful rehabilitation period (we described how rehabilitation occurs with conventional rhinoplasty here);
- execution speed;
- affordable cost;
- short duration of effect;
- failure to fix serious problems.
It should be noted that thisprocedure can be performed whenever the effect is weakened.
Types of plastic without surgery
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can be of several types. How each of them is done and how long the result lasts will be described in detail below.
Injection
Nasal plasticity with fillers - injectable drugs, which are used as fillers to correct defects caused by lack of tissue.The procedure does not cause side effects,does not provoke bloating and resolves on its own within 1. 5 years.
The nasal area is treated with an antiseptic and then the filler is injected under the skin. The whole procedure takes about half an hour, after which the patient can go home.
Fillers can be:
- biodegradable- produced on the basis of bio-substances - hyaluronic acid, collagen;
- biodegradable- synthetic substances - silicone etc.
- autologous- body fat tissue.
Laser
In this case, instead of a scalpel for plastic surgery, a laser is used, therefore, the incisions are softer and the bleeding is eliminated due to cauterization of the vessels.
The surgical approach to laser surgery does not differ much 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. Prior to surgery, the patient should prepare, undergo tests, and consult closely with specialists. With a laser rhinoplasty performed correctly, the result is preserved for a long time.
Threads
Many plastic surgeons do not consider this type of rhinoplasty to be effective, so it is not common. Most often, fibers are used to correct the shape of the tip or wings of the nose (read about techniques for conventional rhinoplasty of the nose, tip, and other parts here). The specialist makes a small puncture where the fibers are inserted. Leather and fabrics are fixed in position with artificial material. The effect lasts for a long time.
Langettes
Larenxha is a special device that looks like a plastic clothespin. It is designed to be held for several hours a day in order to achieve changes in the shape of cartilage tissue. However, it will take several months to learn the pronounced effect. You can fix minor defects:
- returns symmetry to the nose;
- run a small bump;
- lift the tip of the nose (you will learn how to solve problems with the tip of the nose with the help of classical rhinoplasty from a special material);
- reduces the width of the wings.
Before and after photos
Next, we suggest you familiarize yourself with photos of patients before and after nasal plastic surgery, which was performed without surgery.
Readings
Injection rhinoplasty is performed in the following cases:
- bumps on the back of the nose;
- flat top;
- nasal asymmetry;
- dives and valleys;
- tip of falling nose;
- acute corners of the nose;
- need for correction after surgical rhinoplasty.
Indications for laser rhinoplasty are:
- change in nose length;
- very wide nasal bridge;
- dorsumi hundor joestetik;
- wide or narrow tip; the nostrils are too wide or too narrow;
- arm correction.
There are functional indications for this procedure:
- nasal damage with bone or cartilage fracture;
- congenital curvature of the back of the nose, which impairs air passage;
- cartilage base defect.
Contraindications
A number of contraindications:
- presence of oncological disease;
- predisposition to allergic reactions - possible allergy to fillers injected under the skin;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- early childhood - cartilage tissue in children is not fully formed and premature correction may lead to worsening of the situation in the future;
- It is not recommended to perform procedures during menstruation.
Why is this technique dangerous?
Despite the fact that non-surgical rhinoplasty has a very low effect on the condition of the body as a whole, it can lead to undesirable consequences:
- Improper placement of the filler under the skin can cause helium lumps to move sideways over time and the resulting shape will change.
- There is a risk of infection and infection.
- nausea and bruising appear immediately after the procedure, but these consequences in most cases disappear without treatment within two days.
- it is impossible to change the shape of the nose immediately after an unsuccessful procedure, as the drugs administered are continuous and their separation begins only after a few months.
Other complications include:
- grief;
- skin rash;
- embolic changes in vessels;
- fibrotic changes at the injection site;
- allergies;
- white accumulations in adjacent injection areas.
Complications can be short-term or long-term, if there is a persistent deterioration of appearance or well-being, you should consult a specialist.
Most often, different types of complications after non-surgical rhinoplasty occur when the procedure is performed by a low-skilled doctor or in non-specialized salons.
To protect yourself from such inactive phenomena, you should take a responsible approach to choosing the clinic and doctor who will lead the procedure, and, if necessary, prepare properly for the procedure. In addition, it is necessary to inform the doctor in advance about existing diseases, including chronic ones, as the choice of method will depend on this.
We discussed what consequences can be expected for patients after classical rhinoplasty and how they can be avoided here.
Rehabilitation
The peculiarity of non-surgical rhinoplasty is that it has a short rehabilitation period. On average, it will take 1-2 days for all bruises and bruises to disappear. Tissue swelling can remain for up to 5 days and in order to reduce it more quickly, it is recommended to apply ice packs to the site of exposure 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 just pull the tip of the nose a little, so that life shines with bright colors and self-confidence.
But not all people, even very dissatisfied with their appearance, can afford classic rhinoplasty - some are afraid of the price, others are afraid of complications and unsuccessful surgeries, and some are afraid of a periodduring rehabilitation. In this case, it makes sense to think about non-surgical rhinoplasty, which, although it may not be a complete alternative to surgical intervention, can easily withstand some drawbacks.
