For those who want to change the shape or look of their nose without surgical procedures, a nose job can fix these issues for you.
Rhinoplasty or nose reshaping or nose job was the third most popular surgical cosmetic procedure in 2017, with over *215,000 rhinoplasty procedures performed, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Individuals seek rhinoplasty for various reasons, both functional and aesthetic, from addressing breathing issues or correcting a nose bump or straightening it.
If you are looking for a permanent solution for your nose, you can opt for a traditional rhinoplasty. But if you are looking for a temporary solution or you want to see how the actual rhinoplasty can turn out and don’t want to go under the knife yet, you can opt for a non-surgical nose job in Dubai.
What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is also sometimes referred to as “liquid nose job” or “15-minute nose job”. This is because it is actually a dermal filler procedure that can change your nose shape for up to 6 months and it takes about 15 minutes to complete the treatment.
The procedure is ideal for individuals who want to make their nose look less angular or smooth out irregularities but are not ready for a permanent solution or who are worried about the recovery time involved and risks in a traditional rhinoplasty.
How it works
Non-surgical nose job uses dermal filler ingredients to alter the shape of your nose. A gel-like injectable (usually hyaluronic acid) is injected underneath your skin on the areas where you want to create volume or smoother lines.
The filler then settles into where it’s injected in the deeper skin layers where it holds its shape. This can change the way your nose looks for anywhere between 4 months and 3 years depending on your skin, your desired results and the ingredient used.
The procedure for a non-surgical nose job is fairly simple compared to surgical rhinoplasty. After discussing your desired results with your doctor during the consultation, you lie down with your face tilted up. A topical anesthetic may be applied to your nose and the surrounding area to ease any discomfort that you might have.
Your doctor will then inject the filler into the area around the nose and maybe the bridge of the nose itself. You might feel slight pressure or pinch while this is being done. The whole procedure takes about 15-45 minutes or sometimes even less.
Targeted areas
A non-surgical rhinoplasty targets the tip, bridge and, sides of the nose. Fillers can be injected around any part of the nose to modify its shape.
The procedure will:
- Make the tip of your nose more prominent
- Smooth out small bumps in your nose
- Add volume to your nose
- Lift the tip of your nose
It is, however, important to note that non-surgical rhinoplasty won’t be able to give you your desired results if you are looking to smooth out more prominent bumps or if you want your nose to look smaller.
There is no downtime for a liquid nose job but there is some redness that subsides within an hour or two after the procedure. The results are fully visible within a week or two you can go back to your normal schedule right after the treatment.
