Medical rhinoplasty: the benefits of hyaluronic acid

Why is a rhinoplasty performed?

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that treats specific features of the nose (rhino- the nose, plasty- the shape). It may be requested in the following cases:

To correct the shape of the nose.

Rhinoplasty can treat physical features at several levels:

• At the root of the nose, when the patient has a Greek nose, with a hump, or a hollow.
• At the bridge of the nose, when the patient has an aquiline nose, with a hump at the bridge, or a hollow,
• At the tip of the nose, when it droops or is too wide, too thin or too turned up, which is commonly called a “pig nose”.
• Nostrils that are too wide, too long or too high.

To improve breathing.

When the nasal septum is deviated, or when there are bony formations in the nasal cavity, rhinoplasty can relieve the breathing difficulty they cause. It corrects the deformities that obstruct the passage of air through the nose.

To rejuvenate and enhance the nose.

Facial ageing can change the nose and give it a drooping appearance. Rhinoplasty is the answer to this aesthetic concern.
Rhinoplasty does indeed have an aesthetic role, helping patients to achieve a harmonious, youthful and balanced face. It can meet each patient’s aesthetic wishes and help them enhance their face as they wish.

What is medical rhinoplasty?

Medical rhinoplasty is a non-invasive alternative to surgical rhinoplasty. The treatment consists of injecting hyaluronic acid into key areas of the face to erase the imperfection concerned.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance related to sugars that occurs naturally in the body. It is easily assimilated and reshapes the volumes of the treated area to restore facial harmony.

Medical rhinoplasty is recommended to treat the following features:

• A moderate hollow or hump at the bridge or the root of the nose.
• Irregular contours of the skin on the nose.
• An asymmetrical nose.
• A deviated angle between the nose and the upper lip.
• A moderate deviation of the nose.

What are the advantages of rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid?

Rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid has many advantages:

• The technique can replace surgery for moderate concerns (for more marked features, surgery is necessary).
• Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the human body, which assimilates it without difficulty.
• Hyaluronic acid injections leave no scars on the nose.
• Hyaluronic acid injections are reversible, as their effects fade 8 to 10 months after the procedure.
• The effects of medical rhinoplasty are visible immediately after the procedure.
• Medical rhinoplasty requires no recovery period.
• The technique is effective and can be corrected with hyaluronidase injections, which undo the effects of hyaluronic acid.
