Hyaluronic acid nose

The nose is one of the most complex parts of the body for both men and women, hence the frequent requests for rhinoplasty. Today, aesthetic medicine offers the possibility of correcting imperfections with medical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid injections. In just one session at the doctor's office, your nose is reshaped, without any disruption to your social life, pain or post-operative after-effects… Dr Hayot, a pioneer in aesthetic medicine using injections, has been performing surgery-free rhinoplasty in Paris for over 15 years. His expertise and knowledge of facial volumes make him the ideal choice for a worry-free nose job!

What is medical rhinoplasty?

Medical rhinoplasty consists in modifying the shape of the nose without surgery, by injecting a particularly cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the bony hollows. This aesthetic medicine technique can be used to refine the tip of the nose, raise it or remove a hump without the need for a clinic visit, and without the need for post-operative care. Several filling products can be used. Dr Hayot injects hyaluronic acid from Allergan™ Laboratories for its many qualities. Fully biodegradable and resorbable, Juvederm® hyaluronic acid causes neither allergies nor rejection. In some cases, hyaluronic acid injections are combined with Botox Vistabel® injections to relax the activity of the myrtiforme muscle (the muscle that lowers the wing of the nose) located between the nostrils and the upper lip. Injection of botulinum toxin narrows the nostrils and enhances the overall shape of the nose. There are also Botox injections to rework only the tip of the nose. This procedure raises the tip, which tends to droop when we speak or smile. The Botox injection site is located between the muscle at the base of the nose and above the upper lip.

Indications for rhinoplasty without surgery

Rhinoplasty can be useful in cases of nasal asymmetry, nasal bridge deformity, presence of hollows or bumps, or simply to resolve a complex concerning the shape of the nose, the width of the nostrils… If the modifications are slight, surgery is not obligatory: medical rhinoplasty is just what's needed! Medical rhinoplasty can also be effective as a secondary procedure to improve the result of a failed or underperforming surgery. After a surgical rhinoplasty, it's easier to correct with hyaluronic acid if, for example, the nose is slightly deviated, if the tip of the nose is still drooping a little, or if a hollow or small bump is still present.

What precautions should be taken before medical rhinoplasty?

Certain treatments (anticoagulants, anti-inflammatory drugs) are relative contraindications or may need to be discontinued before injections.

How is rhinoplasty performed at Dr. Hayot's?

After examining all the facets of your nose, your practitioner injects into the dorsum, the angle between the columella and the upper lip, or the angle between the forehead and the nasal dorsum. Depending on the case, he or she can smooth out a drooping nose (aquiline nose), fill in and smooth out bumps and hollows, refine a tip, give the illusion that the nose is perfectly symmetrical… A good knowledge of facial volumes and injectables is necessary to work towards a natural result. Only an aesthetic physician specialized in filler injections, or an experienced rhinoplastic surgeon, will be able to dose the quantity of products and find the right injection points to beautify while respecting the harmony of the face. Medical rhinoplasty is performed in a doctor's office and takes around 30 minutes. The procedure requires no anesthesia and no social downtime.

What are the side effects of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty?

Hematomas may appear at the injection sites, which can be masked with a covering cream. The nose may be a little swollen for a few days. If you feel the slightest discomfort, don't hesitate to contact Dr Hayot, because there is a solution. An imperfect result or one that doesn't meet your expectations can be effectively retouched with hyaluronidase injections.

What are the results of rhinoplasty without surgery?

The results of a medical rhinoplasty are generally visible immediately after the session, even if the area is a little swollen. In the hours that follow, a few small hematomas may appear at the injection sites. The bluish discoloration can be camouflaged with a covering make-up. A follow-up appointment is scheduled within 10 to 15 days for any touch-ups once the swelling has completely disappeared. The effects of medical rhinoplasty last up to 12 months, but the longevity of the product varies from person to person. It may be necessary to consider one injection every six months to avoid the phase of returning to the original shape.
