Getting a nose job can be a pretty invasive and painful surgery-many people who would like to change the appearance of their nose shy away from this procedure, because of what it entails. However, this does not mean that you have to abandon your desire.
There is another kind of procedure that can be done, which does not involve surgery at all. It is known as a non-surgical nose job, injection rhinoplasty, or the "fifteen-minute nose job."
It tends to be much lower-risk, lower-cost, and less painful. For those who can't afford the expense or downtime associated with surgery, or for those who are simply afraid to actually go under the knife, it can be quite a relief to hear that there is such an option available.
While this procedure can create a symmetry, smoothing, and contouring of the shape of the nose, it will not reduce the size. Thus, if what you are looking for is merely a reduction, this may not be the best path for you.
However, the simple contouring and reshaping of the area can make it appear smaller. In this procedure, tiny amounts of an injectable dermal fillers are injected into areas that need to be filled out to achieve a smoother, more symmetrical appearance.
The filler is injected in miniscule amounts using what is called a microdroplet technique. This procedure is not exactly a quick fix, as the end result is only achieved after a series of several treatments, with at least four to six weeks in between sessions.
This gradual approach is necessary because of the way these fillers work. After injection, your body's defenses begin working to contain each tiny droplet of the filler material, forming a capsule of tissue that holds it in position.
Over time, the natural tissue built up around the filler creates more volume in the area, so the result cannot be accurately judged at the end of each injection session. Only after the prescribed amount of time is it possible for the doctor and patient to judge if and where more injections are needed, as well as how much is needed.
This allows to doctor and patient to judiciously decide when enough is enough. If you are wondering if it is medically safe, this procedure does not require general anesthesia or sedation.
Only a local anesthetic is used, sometimes in conjunction with an oral sedative to relax the patient, when necessary. Due to the fact that there is no actual cutting involved, this method carries less risk than undergoing surgical procedures.
However, that is not to say that the process is entirely risk free. There can be migration of the silicone, and the formation of granulomas.
However, these problems are usually associated with the injection of larger quantities of silicone by unqualified injectors. However, because the nose barely moves, the possibility of migration is much less.
If what you are seeking is a thinner bridge, a large bump removed, or a more narrow tip, this procedure will not accomplish your goals. You will need to go under the knife to meet these goals.
This procedure also cannot improve breathing problems, or correct internal defects such as a deviated septum. As always, the goal of cosmetic surgery is improvement, not perfection, so expecting absolute perfect symmetry is not realistic.
Remember that injections and most fillers are temporary. To maintain your results, you will have to come back repeatedly for injections.
You will need to consider the convenience and the expense that this involves. On the other hand, injections of silicone are forever.
You cannot have it removed, except through painful and disfiguring surgical excision. Because of this, choosing the best most highly-qualified surgeon is exceedingly important.
People with autoimmune disorders should not have this kind of procedure, and those concerned about reactions should ask their doctors to perform a skin test before going ahead with the procedure. If you are considering doing this for yourself but are unsure which filler material might be best for you, talk to your doctor or surgeon about your different options.
They will be able to help decide what is best for you. Make sure that you have all of the information, and that you know all of the potential risks before you make a decision.
