For many years, rhinoplasty was the only available option for patients looking to improve the size and shape of their nose. But recently non-surgical methods have been developed that allow patients to avoid the common risks associated with nose surgery, such as scarring, difficulty breathing through the nose, poor cosmetic results, and long recovery times and discomfort. At AM Facial Plastics in Beverly Hills, CA, we specialize in transforming and refining your natural beauty through non-surgical rhinoplasty. We are dedicated to providing the highest standard of non-surgical and surgical facial aesthetic procedures.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also referred to as a non-surgical nose job, is a cosmetic procedure designed to alter the shape of the nose without the need for invasive surgery. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which involves surgical modifications to the bone and cartilage of the nose, this method utilizes injectable fillers to achieve desired changes.
One of the most significant benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty is the minimal recovery time required. Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, which can require weeks of recovery, non-surgical procedures typically allow patients to return to their daily activities almost immediately.
Non-surgical nose jobs are performed using local anesthesia or sometimes without anesthesia. This eliminates the risks and side effects associated with general anesthesia.
Because most non-surgical rhinoplasties use temporary fillers, the results are not permanent. This can be seen as an advantage for those unsure about permanently changing their appearance. If the outcome isn’t what the patient desired, it will eventually fade, and adjustments can be made in subsequent sessions.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty significantly lowers the risks of infections, scarring, and bleeding by eliminating the need for incisions. This approach provides a safer alternative to surgical rhinoplasty, appealing to individuals looking for aesthetic enhancements with reduced health risks.
The results of non-surgical rhinoplasty are visible almost immediately after the procedure. While there might be some swelling, the final shape can often be appreciated right away, unlike surgical rhinoplasty, which requires waiting for the swelling to subside to see the final outcome.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can take less than an hour to perform and does not require anesthesia. Dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, or Radiesse® are used to even out the shape of the nose. It is injected in the area that needs adjusting — to fill depressions, smooth out sharp angles, or change the angle of the tip of the nose. Adding fillers can also help restore symmetry and adjust the nose to be in better harmony with the rest of the face.
With non-surgical rhinoplasty, there is minimal pain and discomfort, and the patient is completely awake during the procedure — affording him or her the opportunity to look in the mirror and monitor the progress. All of the fillers can easily removed if the patient is unhappy with the results for any reason.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is non-invasive, so there are no stitches, casts, or scar tissue to be concerned with. Patients can return to their normal routine immediately after the procedure. There may be some swelling and bruising, but it is usually minimal. The results of non-surgical rhinoplasty can last up to 12 months and may need to be repeated.
No, non-surgical rhinoplasty is purely cosmetic and cannot correct internal structural issues like a deviated septum. Surgical intervention is required for functional nasal problems.
Recovery time is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous activities for the first 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers temporary results with minimal downtime and is suited for aesthetic adjustments without altering the nasal structure. Surgical rhinoplasty provides permanent changes, can address functional issues, and is better suited for significant modifications.
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before wearing glasses. For heavier frames, it might be advisable to wait longer to prevent pressure on the treated areas that could alter the results.
Maintaining results involves follow-up treatments as the effects of the fillers begin to diminish. Protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help sustain the results longer.
Good candidates are individuals looking for minor to moderate aesthetic changes to their nose, such as smoothing out bumps, enhancing the nasal tip, or improving symmetry. It’s essential for patients to have realistic expectations and understand the temporary nature of the procedure.
After a thorough consultation and examination, during which Dr. Moradzadeh will analyze your nasal anatomy and discuss in detail your goals for the procedure, he can help you evaluate if a non-surgical option makes sense for what you want to achieve — or whether you will be better served with surgical rhinoplasty.
