After plastic surgery has become an easily accessible service, and the prices for it have become quite acceptable, the rules for the fight for an attractive appearance have become more complicated: hundreds of people have stopped wanting to be themselves and set themselves the goal of turning their body into a beauty standard with the help of a surgeon's scalpel.
The first place in demand was occupied by nose plastic surgery. But if a person is not ready to go under the surgeon's scalpel, can he be offered any alternative? Is non-surgical rhinoplasty possible? Let's try to understand this issue.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty: the essence of the procedure
Fortunately, external defects of the nose can be corrected without radical surgical interventions. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a completely real method that has already been used by thousands of people trying to improve their appearance.
An alternative to the surgeon's scalpel were injections of special substances that can be safely compared with implants. Fillers are introduceddirectly to the area of the face that needs correction, and in the skillful hands of a surgeon, they can not only smooth out wrinkles and tighten the skin, but also correct the shape of the nose.
As a result, a person gets a lasting result, but, unfortunately, not a long-term one. That is, non-surgical rhinoplasty is a procedure that should be performed regularly if you want to enjoy the beauty of your facial features all the time.
The injection process itself does not take more than 30 minutes.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Nose Correction
As mentioned above, non-surgical rhinoplasty takes only 30 minutes, and the rehabilitation period is no more than a day.
Non-surgical nose correction is a reversible process, unlike surgery. If the result does not satisfy you, you can turn to another specialist a little later and try to achieve more successful results. If you don't like the procedure, you can never inject yourself again, and nothing bad will happen.
In addition, there is no need to be afraid of those serious complications that can happen after surgery. After injections of fillers, there are also negative consequences, but they are reversible, while surgical errors are much harder to correct.
And, of course, the price cannot but please. A filler injection will cost significantly less than a real operation.
Cons of the procedure
It is impossible not to say anything about the consthis kind of rhinoplasty.
- Firstly, non-surgical rhinoplasty, reviews of which are mostly positive, is not able to correct serious defects in appearance. Fillers are able to smooth out only minor imperfections, but they are not able to radically change the shape of the nose.
- Secondly, the result after the injection is short-lived: on average, the filler continues to hold the desired shape for 8 months. And only in rare cases, the result can please its owner or hostess for three years.
- Thirdly, there is a certain list of contraindications to the procedure. Failure to comply with these conditions can lead to sad consequences.
Indications for non-surgical rhinoplasty
Many minor defects can be eliminated by non-surgical rhinoplasty - photos of thousands of patients who have undergone successful injections confirm this. First of all, with the help of fillers you can get rid of:
- humps;
- hollows;
- asymmetries;
- defects in the nasal tip;
- sharp corners;
- flabbiness;
- sagging.
Injections are also used after a failed rhinoplasty. Fillers act in this case as a lifeline, which allows you to somehow hide the flaws.
The injection procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, so you must first consult an anesthesiologist. And you also need to pass a couple of tests to make sure that the person does not belong tocategories of people who are absolutely not allowed to inject.
Contraindications
If there is a harmless method to correct your appearance, it is non-surgical rhinoplasty. Before and after the procedure, a person who has injected himself should still monitor his he alth, because there are some contraindications.
For example, it is strictly forbidden to give injections to patients with diabetes mellitus and people who have disorders in the endocrine system. Those suffering from hemophilia, malignant tumors, autoimmune diseases and blood clotting disorders will also have to abandon this method of nose correction.
You should make sure that you are not allergic to those substances that will be injected under the skin. And discuss in advance with the beautician the likelihood of keloid scars.
Temporary contraindications are periods of pregnancy, lactation and menstruation. Also, you can not do non-surgical rhinoplasty after face resurfacing and during the period when a person is being treated for SARS.
Types of non-surgical rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers is divided into several types. Each of these methods has its pros and cons, but the main difference is in the type of fillers.
Gel fillers
Gel fillers are non-biodegradable, meaning they do not break down over time. This is a plus, since the effect of the procedure can last up to 5 years.
Gel preparations are usually used to mask the hump. During the procedure, several injections are made along the back of the nose - this is how non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed. Feedback from many customers is positive - the hump really manages to be significantly smoothed out.
The most commonly used drugs are Artefill, Artecoll, Perline, etc. Particularly pleased with the results after the application of "Artefill". Firstly, Artes Medical conducted five years of experiments and found that their drug does not cause deterioration in the he alth of patients. Secondly, they managed to improve the filler formula, and now it also stimulates the production of collagen by the tissues.
After applying Artefill, the effect lasts from six months to five years, which is also pleasing.
Hormonal fillers
Hormonal fillers are biodegradable, that is, over time they enter into chemical interaction with tissues and dissolve. This category includes well-known collagen, fillers based on hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, based on calcium hydroxyapatite. But still, more preference is given to such drugs as Diprospan, as well as Kenolog.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty "Diprospan" allows you to get rid of excess soft tissue. In a word, "Diprospan" makes the nose smoother and gives it clear contours. However, Diprospan injections must be done very carefully so as not to remove excess tissue, and also so thatasymmetric areas, swelling and so on.
In order for the result to please, several injection sessions are needed. The cosmetologist introduces the substance gradually, over 2-3 weeks, and monitors how it is distributed over the desired area of the nose, constantly adjusting the result.
Mostly, hormonal preparations are used to correct the wings of the nose, as well as its tip to give them an "aristocratic" refinement. And for the most part, the process is successful. There is only one minus: hormonal preparations do not give a long-term effect. The maximum period you can count on is 9-12 months.
Threads Aptos
Non-surgical rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose, as well as its wings, is also possible using Aptos threads. This procedure literally allows you to pass the threads through the problem areas of the nose and stretch them, giving the desired shape. Nose correction with Aptos threads lasts 2-3 days, during which the cosmetologist achieves the desired results, and then only cuts the ends of the threads. Only then will you be able to admire your new appearance.
Negative effects of non-surgical rhinoplasty
Although it was mentioned above that non-surgical rhinoplasty is a completely harmless method of correcting appearance, foreign substances are still injected under the skin, sometimes leading to complications.
All the consequences that non-surgical rhinoplasty of the nose can cause are conventionally divided into short-term and long-term.
Short-term complications go away on their own in 2-3 days and do notrequire treatment. These include redness and pain at the injection sites, swelling, and bruising. Short-term complications occur in almost everyone who has undergone a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure and is a completely predictable reaction of the body to the injection.
Much more dangerous are long-term complications that just require the intervention of a doctor. For example, a serious complication can be a blockage of blood vessels by foreign particles of the drug - or, in other words, an embolism. Also, under the influence of gravity, the injected filler can descend or move to other areas of the face where injections have not been made. Allergic reactions to injected drugs and cases of infection with the herpes virus cannot be ruled out.
Rehabilitation after the procedure
Before the injection procedure, a person must definitely visit not only a cosmetologist and a plastic surgeon, who will determine the scope and cost of work, but also an endocrinologist, an allergist and other doctors who will confirm that a person has no contraindications to the procedure.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty requires local anesthesia. The skin area on which the manipulations will be performed must be treated with an antiseptic. The rhinoplasty procedure itself takes only 30-45 minutes.
After injections, ice is applied to the needle insertion sites to help prevent bruising. To avoid further complications, cosmetologists often advise a person to sign up for a special massage the next day, which will help the filler evenly.spread under the skin. It is quite possible that you will have to wear a special splint for some time, which will protect against injuries and complete the stage of giving the nose the necessary shape.
Within 2-3 weeks, you must refrain from sunbathing, do not visit baths and saunas, and completely give up alcohol.
Reviews
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is an effective procedure - before and after photos of patients of different sexes and ages confirm this. Without surgery, the risk of spoiling your appearance is minimized. And even if the filler does not take root, deforms or another force majeure situation occurs, a person can always correct the results obtained with an additional injection. At worst, after a while, the filler will still dissolve, leaving no trace of an unpleasant incident, which cannot be said about rhinoplasty performed with a surgeon's scalpel.
After surgical interventions, rehabilitation of patients takes place within 3 months, and clients of beauty salons immediately note the convenience of non-surgical rhinoplasty, after which all swelling, redness disappear within a day, and the final result is visible.
Moreover, high-quality fillers practically do not affect the state of human he alth and keep the desired shape for quite a long time, so the cost of the procedure will not be so fabulous.
The only thing that is frustrating is that fillers are not a panacea for all problems related to appearance. Some defects in the shape of the nose alonefillers can't fix it. And here an important question arises before every person: should I accept myself as I am, or take unjustified risks, going under the surgeon's knife? After all, any operation is like a lottery: no doctor can guarantee a 100% success.
