It is now possible to correct certain imperfections of the nose without surgery. Medical rhinoplasty uses hyaluronic acid injections in the nose to reshape it and correct certain irregularities.
This reversible procedure has the advantage of being light: you avoid the operation and its after-effects, the procedure can be undone and there is a very limited risk of a botched result.

What makes a good nose?

A beautiful nose is one whose shape and position are in harmony with the other features of the face.

Irregularities of the nose such as a bump, a drooping tip or an asymmetry also alter the beauty of a nose.

Why does the shape of the nose affect facial harmony?

Because of its strategic position, the nose has a major impact on facial harmony. If it is felt to be too small, too wide, too straight or deviated, it can cause daily discomfort and psychological repercussions.

It should be noted that medical rhinoplasty has specific indications and is not a solution for marked irregularities of the nose.

What does nose reshaping with hyaluronic acid involve with Dr Hayot?

A gentle technique, medical rhinoplasty takes just a few minutes and is painless. In some cases, it is an effective alternative to surgical rhinoplasty:

  • Refining the tip of the nose and improving its projection
  • Filling in hollows
  • Camouflaging a bump by adding volume

Ageing skin is also responsible for a progressive loss of volume and a skeletonisation of the tissues. Injecting hyaluronic acid, a filling agent, helps restore these volumes.

The effects of medical rhinoplasty last between 9 and 12 months. The treatment then has to be repeated to maintain the result.

An initial consultation with Dr Hayot is an opportunity to examine your nose from the front and in profile, to understand your needs and to advise you accordingly.
