Minimally Invasive Rhinoplasty: A Gentle Approach to Nose Reshaping
Minimally invasive rhinoplasty is another fancy name for nose surgery done through an internal incision. As is the case with endonasal rhinoplasty, it may sound better, and more technologically advanced, but in the end, it too is just a simple closed rhinoplasty.
What is Minimally Invasive Rhinoplasty?
Minimally invasive rhinoplasty, also known as a non-surgical or needle nose surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the nose using injectable fillers. Unlike traditional nose surgery, this procedure does not require general anesthesia, incisions, or significant downtime. Instead, a skilled practitioner uses a small needle to inject the filler into specific areas of the nose to achieve the desired shape.
How Does It Work?
During a non-surgical rhinoplasty, a practitioner uses a dermal filler, such as hyaluronic acid, to add volume to the nose or to correct asymmetry. A medical professional can complete the procedure in as little as 15-30 minutes, and you will immediately see the results.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Rhinoplasty
The surgery has several advantages over traditional nose surgery, including:
- Non-surgical: No incisions or general anesthesia required
- Quick and easy: The procedure takes less than an hour
- Minimal downtime: Most patients can return to work and regular activities immediately
- Reversible: The filler can be dissolved if the patient is not satisfied with the results
- Natural-looking: The results are subtle and natural-looking
Am I an Ideal Candidate?
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, but do not want to undergo traditional nose surgery, you may be a good candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty. However, the procedure is not suitable for everyone. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your nose and determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.
In conclusion, minimally invasive rhinoplasty is a gentle and non-surgical alternative to traditional nose surgery. If you’re considering nose reshaping, you may want a surgery-free alternative without the risks and downtime. In this case, non-surgical rhinoplasty may be a suitable option for you.
