A rhinoplasty refers to a surgery that reshapes the nose. Most people recognize this procedure as a nose job.
Most commonly, a rhinoplasty addresses aesthetic concerns you may have about your nose. This includes changing the size or shape to improve facial harmony, making you feel more confident in your appearance.
Despite common beliefs, surgery isn’t your only option if you’re interested in reshaping your nose. At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we offer a nonsurgical rhinoplasty in Plano to make subtle aesthetic improvements. This treatment differs from a surgical procedure because it’s non-invasive and temporary. To learn more, read this article.
What is a nonsurgical rhinoplasty?
A nonsurgical rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to reshape the nose using injections of hyaluronic acid. Fillers are often used to smooth wrinkles, plump lips, and improve facial contours. When injected into the nose, they can temporarily modify certain characteristics to give you the nose shape you desire.
What can a nonsurgical rhinoplasty do?
A nonsurgical rhinoplasty works best for minor changes to your nose, such as:
- Smoothing out bumps on the bridge of your nose
- Straightening a crooked nose (slightly)
- Lifting a drooping nasal tip
- Improving the appearance without reducing the size
What can’t a nonsurgical rhinoplasty do?
A nonsurgical rhinoplasty has its limitations. For example, a surgical nose job has functional benefits like improving breathing by opening blocked nasal passages. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty techniques aren’t able to correct this issue.
For aesthetic concerns, dermal fillers cannot make the nose smaller or more narrow.
How long does a nonsurgical rhinoplasty last?
Injectables typically last 6 months to 1 year, depending on the type of filler we use. This can be a great option for you if you’re interested in a nose job but are unsure if you want to commit to permanent results.
