Man does not always like the shape of his nose, he tries to find a solution to this problem. You are faced with a choice: to be operated on or to resort to a more gentle method of nasal surgery. Let's take a closer look at the features of the non-surgical method of nasal correction, the indications and contraindications of this procedure and the possible complications.
Features
Non-surgical plastic is a safe and simple method. It does not require time and money, the patient does not need anesthesia. Recently, it is gaining more and more popularity due to its availability and efficiency. A special substance called filler is injected into the corrective zone. Plays the role of a kind of implant. With the help of this type of rhinoplasty, you can remove and straighten the nasal mucosa or fossa. But you will not be able to shrink your nose.
Before the procedure, you should consult a dermatologist who will help determine if you are allergic to the drug used. You also need to consult a therapist. Must confirm that there are no contraindications. The surgeon who will perform rhinoplasty should first examine the patient and suggest material options for correction. The doctor has to get acquainted with the possible consequences and complications.
The procedure looks like this:
- the doctor identifies the target areas;
- the patient lies on the couch;
- a special anesthetic solution or cream is applied to the nose and cheeks (before proceeding with the correction, it is necessary to wait 10 minutes for the drug to take effect);
- the doctor injects filler or puts special ropes.
The procedure does not take more than half an hour. After that, the patient can go home safely.
Tips for changing the shape of the nose
Correction of the shape of the nose with fillers without surgery is carried out in the following cases:
- asymmetry;
- presence of irregularities, depressions;
- tip defect;
- straight back;
- the corners of the bridge of the nose are very sharp;
- recovery of shape after injury or unsuccessful surgical rhinoplasty;
- sagging skin;
- Asian or African nose that the patient does not like;
- Contraindications to traditional rhinoplasty.
Radical changes can be achieved with the help of classical surgery. Sometimes non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed after a classic operation to see a possible outcome. The patient will be able to understand whether he likes his nose or not. However, often this procedure is performed after surgical rhinoplasty when small irregularities remain. The correction is recommended for those who are afraid of classic rhinoplasty.
Contraindications
Although non-surgical nasal surgery is a simple procedure, it has a number of limitations. We are talking about such pathologies:
- problems with the endocrine system;
- diabetes;
- oncology;
- allergy to the components of the drug used to correct;
- immune problems;
- hemophilia.
In addition to the above factors in medicine, there are a number of contraindications that can be eliminated and the tip of the nose can be replaced without surgery. These include:
- ARVI;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- cosmetic procedures performed the day before (peeling and polishing);
- period of exacerbation of any chronic disease;
- menstrual days;
- inflammation of the skin of the nose.
Plastic methods
Non-surgical nasal surgery is performed in the following ways:
- gel fillers;
- hormonal medications;
- mesothreads.
1. Gel filler
A special gel is injected under the skin of the nose, which requires correction. Use available tools. The procedure is inexpensive and there are no further complications. However, a significant drawback is a short-term effect (maximum 6 months). The second can be done within six months.
Sometimes it happens that instead of the already dissolved filler, fibrous tissue is formed. Then the nose takes an unchanging shape. In some cases, the injected drug begins to overflow, causing deformation. If this happens, the patient is given a second procedure.
2. Use of hormonal agents
They help remove "extra" areas that spoil the look. If the doctor injects more of the drug, it can cause excessive tissue dissolution. Therefore, the doctor requires more attention and precision. Changing the shape of the nose with the help 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 Mesotecs
With the help of special ropes it is possible to straighten the tip of the nose and wings. The doctor makes small holes in which he inserts the rope and squeezes his nose to the required shape. After a few days, the ends of the remaining threads are cut. The main disadvantage is the presence of scars that spoil the appearance of the injection site. Sometimes the rope inside breaks. But it all depends on the quality of the material and the professionalism of the doctor.
Pros and cons
There are pros and cons to non-surgical rhinoplasty. Advantages include the following factors:
- execution speed;
- lack of general anesthesia, which may adversely affect the patient's well-being;
- no surgical intervention is required;
- ability to observe the procedure using a mirror;
- the doctor may ask the patient whether this shape of the nose is suitable for him or whether it is necessary to correct this or that area;
- lack of rehabilitation period;
- opportunity to go home immediately after the procedure;
- lack of painful feelings;
- plastic is cheaper in this way.
Disadvantages include the following factors:
- fragility of the result obtained (you will have to repeat the procedure to maintain the effect);
- Once the gel is completely dissolved, the shape of the nose becomes the same;
- If it is carried out by an inexperienced specialist who incorrectly inserts the plastic filler, it can cause the bride to move (the nose will take an ugly shape).
Rehabilitation period
After nasal surgery, doctors recommend minimizing contact with the corrected area. This threatens the displacement of the fillers, which can change shape as a result.
It is recommended to give up for a while after the procedure:
- alcoholic beverages;
- smoking;
- prolonged exposure to the sun;
- saunas, swimming pools.
The final result will be noticeable 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 passes very quickly without help.
In rare cases, such side effects occur (can be observed both during and after the procedure):
- filler displacement;
- breaking ropes;
- respiratory problems (this often happens to those who do rhinoplasty for themselves);
- allergic reaction to the injected drug;
- herpes
If the patient is diagnosed with one of the side effects (except for an allergic reaction and herpes), he is given a second operation.
