Non-surgical rhinoplasty: nose correction using mesothreads

The essence of the method of correcting the nose with fillers

Non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers is a temporary but permanent effect of changing the nose. The method makes it possible to eliminate tubercles and pits, enlarge a certain area by introducing a special drug, and narrow the upper line. The procedure does not allow you to reduce the size of your nose as a whole.

Fillers are natural or synthetic compounds that are injected under the skin into problem areas of the nose and act as a filler. These are drugs that rejuvenate and correct the appearance of the face without surgery.

Species diversity of curvatures

Visual manifestations - asymmetry, curvature of the back or tip of the nose, imbalance in the proportions of the wings.

Imbalance of the topography of the nasal septum - horizontally and vertically, complete and partial, in the anterior and posterior sections, S-shaped and C-shaped, the formation of “ridges” and “spikes”.

The diversity of transformational morphology, which in everyday life is designated by the concept of “crooked nose,” makes it impossible to adhere to any classical strategy for eliminating the problem. Correction planning is always individual.

The methodology can be non-surgical - the success rate is minimal, but it exists; surgery – improving facial aesthetics, normalizing respiratory function through the nose, eliminating associated dysfunctions.

Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure

Nose contouring has many benefits. It is affordable, does not leave scars on the skin, and does not require wearing a cast, unlike classic rhinoplasty. During the session, the body is not harmed by the surgical intervention itself and the anesthesia administered. You can get the desired changes in the form of filling in the pits, enlarging the tip, straightening the nostrils, correcting the hump in just one or two sessions, and each of them is practically painless and does not require long-term rehabilitation.

Correction with hyaluronic acid fillers is reversible. If the result does not satisfy the patient, over time the effect will go away on its own without the need for repeated surgical intervention.

The temporary preservation of the effect can also be considered a disadvantage of the procedure, since the changes will remain on the face for a maximum of 2 years. Then the correction with hyaluronic filler will need to be repeated, because the root of the problem is not eliminated, but only masked. Also, you should not expect miraculous transformations from contour plastic surgery, because it allows you to eliminate only minor defects. It will not be possible to achieve such dramatic changes as with classic rhinoplasty.

How is nasal tip asymmetry corrected with secondary rhinoplasty?

In the case of insufficient resection, the plastic surgeon only needs to “correct” the defect. Excessive resection during primary rhinoplasty is fraught with more undesirable consequences. The correction process in this case is quite difficult, requires transplantation and may be accompanied by scarring.

To minimize any complications, a thorough preoperative diagnosis is carried out with a gentle approach aimed at understanding the postoperative changes that occur during the healing period. These principles should be followed in case of any complications.

For reference. In women, asymmetry and deformation of the nose causes more problems than in men. For example, an aquiline nose in men does not prevent them from occupying leadership positions and being successful, while a girl with an aquiline nose may face the problem of finding employment in certain organizations.

Find out what other problems rhinoplasty solves. For example, you no longer need to be afraid if you have a perforated nasal septum; any disease of the nose can be cured with the help of rhinoplasty.

Indications for nose contouring

There are no medical indications for this procedure. If there are any, it is recommended to resort to rhinoplasty, when changes are made surgically. As for the injection of fillers into the nose, they are used in the presence of cosmetic defects or the desire to correct the architecture of the face in order to improve appearance.

The session is performed if the nose is deformed as a result of injury, if the tip is too raised or too lowered, in order to eliminate the hump and, if desired, change the bend of the wings. Contour plastic allows you to straighten the bridge of the nose, removing the hump, and correct asymmetry or unevenness of the relief, even if it appeared after plastic surgery.

Objectives of rhinoplasty

It often happens that people do not have noticeable aesthetic facial defects, however, after completing plastic surgery, they are very demanding about the result. And as statistics have shown, most often this is a correction of the tip of the nose. Much less often, patients resort to surgery to smooth out a hump or, if necessary, to make the nose slightly elevated. With all this, changes in the shape and proportions of the nose and its dimensions do not in any way affect the lightness of its tip after plastic surgery. Experienced specialists argue that surgical intervention, on the contrary, should be especially careful and attentive.

The basis for the prediction of changes in the natural structure of the tip of the nose during corrective surgery is the concept of symmetry of the nose. There are exceptions in which asymmetry is taken into account during intervention - when there are congenital defects on the face. In such cases, the asymmetrical shape may remain unchanged. Today, the popularity of rhinoplasty and the demand of patients to perform high-quality plastic surgery encourages surgeons to take into account hidden asymmetry in each individual case. Therefore, correction of the tip of the nose in this case requires determining the most optimal scheme for performing the operation.

Drugs used

There are different types of nasal fillers, differing in composition, level of durability and effectiveness. You should choose a drug together with your doctor, based on individual preferences, the desired result and the characteristics of the body.

Biodegradable fillers

These are compounds that, over time, biodegrade down to their simplest components and are excreted from the human body. This group includes preparations based on hyaluronic acid, fillers based on human (Autologen, Cymetra, Isologen) or bovine (Zirderm, Artecoll) collagen, as well as substances made from calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), from polycaprolactone (Ellans) and made from based on synthetic lactic acid (Sculptra).

Biodegradable compounds

This category includes fillers, the production of which is based on synthetic polymer gels, for example, silicone. Such drugs do not react with chemical compounds in the human body and, accordingly, are not removed from it.

Autologous fillers

This is the name given to fillers made from the patient’s own fat structures. We are talking about lipofilling, in which human tissue is first collected, then the cells are cleaned and the material is subsequently introduced into the required area.

Side effects

Possible side effects of the procedure:

The most common complications after the procedure are bruises, hematomas and a temporary increase in body temperature, which disappear on their own on the 7-14th day from the moment of drug administration. Nausea and dizziness occur much less frequently and can be caused by the patient’s individual intolerance to any drug.

If severe, painful complications occur, medical intervention is necessary.

Description of the procedure

Before the session, good clinics perform computer diagnostics, during which the doctor simulates the approximate result of the procedure. This is very convenient, since the patient can make his own adjustments on the monitor screen in advance if something does not suit him, and agree with the doctor on all the important nuances before the process begins. The nose correction itself with fillers takes approximately 30-45 minutes.

Preparatory stage

No special preparation is required. After a consultation, during which a medical specialist examines and selects the optimal medications, you can proceed directly to the session, or agree on the day when it will be held. It is necessary that the patient does not drink alcohol for two days before the procedure, and also does not take Aspirin and other medications that contain it.

The course of the procedure and injection technique

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed exclusively on an outpatient basis by a dermatocosmetologist or plastic surgeon. It is very important to make sure in advance that the doctor is certified, and also find out the expiration dates of the medications used. Packages are always opened in front of the patient. It is necessary to fill out the procedure passport, which indicates the name of the filler, volume and placement scheme.

First, the skin of the nose and cheeks is cleaned with an antiseptic. Then pain relief is carried out, for example, with Emla cream. After about 15 minutes, when the analgesic begins to act, the doctor can begin to inject the gel into the previously marked areas. The volume of the composition used is usually minimal and, as reviews indicate, does not exceed 2 ml. The person does not feel discomfort, only in some cases there may be a barely noticeable burning sensation. When the filler is introduced, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic composition, and a cold pack may also be applied to help prevent the formation of severe swelling.

The injection schedule is as follows:

1. To raise the tip, filler must be injected into the membrane located between the nostrils.
2. You can correct a hump by injecting the composition into two holes - the bridge of the nose and the middle of the back.
3. Wide wings can be corrected, the architecture of the nasal openings can be corrected, and symmetry can be restored by introducing filler into the points of the nostrils.
4. You can narrow your nose by making a puncture in the middle of the back, and then distribute the drug along a vertical line.

Rehabilitation period

After the correction, the patient should drink at least 1.5 liters of liquid to improve lymph and blood flow, and also try to relax as much as possible and limit mental and physical stress.

In the following days, you will also have to observe a strict drinking regime, and after the skin has been restored, the client is given a lymphatic drainage massage of the face and the treated area, which helps to more quickly remove the breakdown products of adipose tissue from the body.

After the session follows:

• Avoid eating any food for 2-3 hours.
• Don't take a hot bath.
• Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages for at least 10 days, and also do not smoke for at least 6-8 hours.
• Do not wash your face with hot water.
• Do not touch your face with your hands for 2-3 days and do not apply decorative cosmetics to your skin for at least 7 days.
• Avoid sports for 5 days.
• For a week, do not visit the pool and sauna, and also do not sunbathe or swim in open water.

By the end of the first day, swelling appears on the nose, which is considered completely normal and does not cause any concern. The time for swelling to subside is individual for each patient, but usually does not exceed 14 days.

To improve the condition of the skin and faster subsidence of swelling, it is recommended:

• apply cold compresses to the nose;
• apply ointments with a resolving effect to the skin: Troxevasin and Lyoton.
• Carry out an independent massage of the treated area.
• take a course of R-lifting or ozone therapy.

Rehabilitation and care of the nose

Since there is no surgical intervention, the recovery period after nose correction with fillers is easy and painless. It is important to comply with the basic requirement - to avoid injury.

After the session, it is recommended to apply an ice pack to the treated area to try to prevent the formation of swelling and hematoma. In any case, the swelling goes away quickly, within a few days. The day after the session, it is recommended to attend a massage procedure to better distribute the filler. The massage will cause pain, but if the discomfort does not go away within two to three days, you should contact your doctor.

Before and immediately after a nose job using filler, it is strongly recommended to give up alcohol, smoking and caffeine for at least a week.

Why can the tip of the nose be asymmetrical after rhinoplasty?

It often happens that after surgery, the patient remains dissatisfied. The consequences of aesthetic complications after surgical intervention can be the following: a too low or raised tip of the nose, a saddle-shaped or beak-shaped dorsum, a curvature or deformation of the septum. All of these manifest themselves in the form of asymmetry after insufficient or excessive resection of cartilaginous tissue. If the result of the primary correction does not satisfy the patient, secondary rhinoplasty can be prescribed no earlier than a year later - only then the consequences of the intervention will be fully obvious.

Previously, there was no point in worrying that the tip of the nose was asymmetrical in the first months after primary rhinoplasty, which was performed for any reason. The fact is that the entire period of healing and tissue restoration, the nose, as experts say, “plays” - its parts change shape and size for almost 6-8 months after the operation. And often the imbalances that greatly worry patients 30 days after rhinoplasty disappear on their own over the following months. Very often, patients after nose surgery cannot wait to see the final result. Tired of the length of rehabilitation, they begin to blame the surgeon for the fact that the operation was unsuccessful, because there is asymmetry of the tip of the nose or the shape does not correspond to the promised one. This is a common mistake many patients make. Therefore, before the operation, the surgeon will repeatedly remind you, and we do this on the pages of the site - the final result will fully appear only after 8-10 months and before that you just need to be patient.

And only if after this time the operated nose is disproportionate, which rarely happens, is secondary rhinoplasty prescribed.

Who is not suitable for correction?

Despite the general safety of non-surgical nose correction, this session still has some contraindications that must be taken into account. Such factors are divided into two categories: absolute and relative.

If there are absolute contraindications, it is strictly contraindicated to perform nose correction with fillers:

• hemophilia;
• problems with blood clotting;
• allergy to any components of the administered drugs;
• the presence of biodegradable filler in the re-correction area;
• disorders of the functional functioning of the endocrine system - hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus;
• any malignant neoplasms;
• autoimmune pathologies;
• tendency to form keloid scars.

Relative, or temporary, are those signs, as a result of the elimination of which the procedure can be carried out without negative consequences for the person. You should refrain from injecting fillers into the nose during pregnancy, as well as while breastfeeding. Also temporary contraindications are the presence of inflammation on the skin, rehabilitation after peeling or resurfacing, chronic diseases in the acute stage, menstruation and ARVI.

Contraindications and age restrictions

The use of lipolytics is contraindicated for:

• oncological neoplasms;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• exacerbation of the herpes virus;
• individual intolerance to the constituent components of the drug;
• diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• acute renal failure;
• varicose veins and increased thrombus formation;
• pathologies of the thyroid gland;
• tuberculosis;
• fresh skin lesions at injection sites;
• acute respiratory and infectious lesions;
• HIV infections;
• epilepsy;

• increased tendency of the patient's skin to form colloidal scars.

Correction with lipolytics is also not carried out in the event of a febrile state caused by an increase in body temperature and sudden jumps in blood pressure. It is prohibited to prescribe lipolysis to children under the age of majority.

Possible negative consequences and complications

The introduction of fillers, especially when it comes to compositions based on hyaluronic acid, rarely causes complications, because it does not provoke allergies or rejection from the patient’s body. But there is a list of risks associated with the use of drugs to correct the shape of the nose:

1. Increase. Fillers have a gel-like structure. If they are used by an inexperienced, unqualified cosmetologist, this may result in nose enlargement rather than correction.
2. Infections. During the session, interference is carried out in the vital activity of microflora, which can provoke the development of pathogenic infections.
3. Wrong shape. The doctor must be able to use fillers correctly and know which drug and with what characteristics should be used for each part of the nose. So, you cannot inject the flowable gel into small areas, for example, into the tip of the nose, because it will not stay there.
4. Excessive volume of filler. Incorrect calculation of the amount of filler can lead to unpleasant consequences. If such a complication occurs, you need to administer hyaluronidase, a substance that helps accelerate the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. If biodegradable fillers are used, surgery may be required.

To avoid unpleasant consequences and complications, it is recommended to carefully select a clinic and a cosmetologist who will perform the non-surgical nose correction procedure.

Pros and cons of a rhinocorrector

More recently, surgery was the only way to correct defects in the olfactory organ, and for the sake of an ideal appearance, people had to agree to expensive, painful and not always effective manipulation. In recent times, many women and men are opting for a nose pad over rhinoplasty to reshape their nose.

Advantages of a rhinocorrector:

• no need to leave home, can be used at any convenient time in any convenient place;
• affordable price;
• helps to acquire a beautiful nose shape without surgical intervention;
• lack of rehabilitation period (pain, bruises, swelling);
• Can be used at any age;
• absolute safety;
• minimum contraindications;
• simplicity and clarity of use;
• no risk of complications.

The disadvantages of the method include the long period of wearing the splint. At least 1 month of regular treatments will be required, and in some cases more. Sometimes the course of treatment should be repeated after a few months. The clip can only affect soft tissue. Therefore, if it is necessary to correct defects related to bone, then this method is completely useless.

Price issue

Nose contouring with fillers does not have a fixed cost. The price depends on the type of drug, its name, composition, manufacturer, volume used, as well as the qualifications of the doctor and the level of the clinic. The lowest price is about 10,000 rubles, but can reach 40 thousand.

Let's sum it up

The procedure of nose correction using fillers is very popular because it can improve the appearance quickly, effectively and safely. The result obtained often becomes the starting point for subsequent surgical rhinoplasty.
