A person does not always like the shape of his nose, he tries to find a solution to this problem. He is faced with a choice: surgery or resorting to a gentler rhinoplasty method. Let's consider in more detail the features of a non-surgical method of nose correction, indications and contraindications for this procedure, as well as possible complications.
Peculiarities
Non-surgical plastic is a simple and safe method. It does not require significant costs, both time and financial, the patient does not require anesthesia. Recently, it is gaining more and more popularity due to its availability and efficiency. A special substance is injected into the correction zone, which is called a filler. It acts as a kind of implant. With the help of such rhinoplasty, you can remove the bump or pit on the nose, make it even. But you won't be able to narrow your nose.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist, who will help determine if there is any allergy to the drug used. Advice from a therapist is also required. It must confirm that there are no contraindications. The surgeon who will perform nose plastic surgery must first examine the patient and suggest options for materials for correction. The doctor is obliged to familiarize himself with the possible consequences and complications.
The procedure looks like this:
- the doctor determines the target areas;
- the patient lies down on the couch;
- a special anesthetic solution or cream is applied to the nose and cheeks (before proceeding with the correction, you need to wait 10 minutes for the drug to take effect);
- the doctor injects filler or inserts special threads.
The procedure takes no more than half an hour. After that, the patient can safely go home.
Indications for changing the shape of the nose
Correction of the shape of the nose with fillers without surgery is performed in the following cases:
- asymmetry;
- the presence of irregularities, depressions;
- tip defect;
- flat back;
- the corners of the bridge of the nose are too sharp;
- restoration of shape after an injury or unsuccessful surgical rhinoplasty;
- sagging skin;
- an Asian or African nose that the patient does not like;
- contraindications to conventional rhinoplasty.
Drastic changes can only be achieved with the help of classical surgery. Sometimes a non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed to see the possible result after the classic surgery. The patient will be able to understand if he likes the nose like this or not. But often this procedure is performed after surgical rhinoplasty, when small irregularities remain. The correction is recommended for those who are afraid of undergoing classic rhinoplasty.
Contraindications
Although nonsurgical nose surgery is a simple procedure, it has a number of limitations. We are talking about such pathologies:
- problems in the endocrine system;
- diabetes;
- oncology;
- allergy to the components of the drug used for correction;
- immune problems;
- haemophilia.
In addition to the above factors in medicine, there are a number of contraindications, eliminating which it is possible to change the tip of the nose without surgery. These include:
- ARVI;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- cosmetic procedures (peeling and resurfacing), which were performed the day before;
- period of exacerbation of any chronic ailments;
- days of menstruation;
- inflammation of the skin of the nose.
Plastic methods
Non-surgical nose surgery is performed using:
- gel fillers;
- hormonal drugs;
- mesothread.
1. Filling gel
A special gel preparation is injected under the skin of the part of the nose that requires correction. Use the means available. The procedure is inexpensive and there are no complications after it. But its significant drawback is a short-term effect (maximum 6 months). A second can be done in six months.
Sometimes it happens that in place of the filler, which has already settled, fibrous tissue is formed. Then the nose takes on an unchanged shape. In some cases, the injected drug begins to overflow, which leads to deformation. If this happens, the patient is shown a second procedure.
2. Use of hormonal agents
They help remove the "extra" areas that spoil the look. If the doctor injects more of the drug, it can lead to excessive tissue dissolution. Therefore, the doctor requires more care and precision. The change in the shape of the nose with the power of hormonal agents is carried out in several stages. Although the method gives good results, in some cases it leads to the development of atrophic processes.
3. Use of mesothread
With the help of special threads, it is possible to fix the tip of the nose and its wings. The doctor makes small holes through which he inserts the thread and squeezes the nose, giving it the necessary shape. After a few days, the ends of the strands remaining outside are cut off. The main drawback is that scars can remain at the injection sites, which spoils the appearance. Sometimes it happens that the thread inside breaks. But it all depends on the quality of the material and the professionalism of the doctor.
Advantages and disadvantages
Non-surgical rhinoplasty has its pros and cons. The benefits include the following factors:
- speed of execution;
- lack of general anesthesia, which can adversely affect the patient's well-being;
- no surgery required;
- the ability to observe the procedure using a mirror;
- the doctor may ask the patient whether this nose shape is suitable for him or whether one or the other area needs to be slightly corrected;
- lack of a rehabilitation period;
- the ability to go home immediately after the procedure;
- lack of painful sensations;
- plastic is cheaper this way.
The disadvantages include the following factors:
- fragility of the result obtained (to maintain the effect, it will be necessary to repeat the procedure);
- after the gel has completely resolved, the shape of the nose becomes the same;
- if the plastic is done by an inexperienced specialist who inserts the filler incorrectly, this can lead to displacement of the gel (the nose will acquire a bad shape).
Rehabilitation period
After nose surgery, doctors recommend minimizing contact with the correct area. This threatens the displacement of fillers, as a result of which the shape can change.
After the procedure, it is recommended to abandon for a while:
- alcoholic beverages;
- cigarettes;
- prolonged exposure to the sun;
- saunas, swimming pools.
The final result will be evident 5-7 days after the procedure.
Side effects
Rhinoplasty without surgery does not cause serious complications. The patient may feel a slight swelling, bruising, pain in the nose, which pass very quickly without assistance.
In rare cases, there are such side effects (they can be observed both during the procedure and after):
- displacement of the filler;
- breaking of threads;
- respiratory problems (this mainly happens to those who very often do rhinoplasty for themselves);
- an allergic reaction to the injected drug;
- herpes.
If the patient has been diagnosed with one of the side effects (except for an allergic reaction and herpes), he is shown a second operation.
Reviews and opinions
