What are the reasons for rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure to treat specific defects of the nose (rhino- the nose, plastic- the shape). This procedure can be requested in the following cases:

To correct nose defects.

Rhinoplasty can treat physical deformities on several levels:

• At the roots of the nose, when the patient has a Greek nose (with a bump) or a hollow.
• At the bridge of the nose, when the patient has an aquiline nose (bump at the bridge) or a hollow,
• At the tip of the nose, when it is drooping, too wide, too thin or too raised (generally referred to as 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 eliminate the respiratory discomfort caused by these inconveniences. Rhinoplasty corrects the deformities that obstruct the passage of air through the nose.

To rejuvenate and beautify the nose.

Facial aging can lead to defects in the nose, giving it a drooping appearance. Rhinoplasty is the solution to this aesthetic problem.
Rhinoplasty does indeed have an aesthetic function, enabling patients to achieve a harmonious, youthful and well-balanced face. It can respond to the aesthetic desires of each patient, helping them to beautify their face according to their desires.

What is medical rhinoplasty?

Medical rhinoplasty is a non-invasive alternative to surgical rhinoplasty. This treatment works by injecting hyaluronic acid into key areas of the face to erase the targeted imperfection.

Hyaluronic acid is a product equivalent to sugar that exists naturally in the body. This product is easily ingested by the body and remodels the volumes of the targeted area to ensure facial harmony.

Medical rhinoplasty is recommended to treat the following defects:

• Moderate indentation or bump at the bridge or roots of the nose.
• Irregular skin volumes on the nose.
• Asymmetrical nose.
• Deviated angle between nose and upper lip.
• Moderate deviation of the nose.

What are the advantages of rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid?

The advantages of rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid are numerous:

• This technique can replace surgery for moderate problems (for more serious defects, surgery is necessary).
• Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the human body. The body therefore has no problem ingesting it.
• 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 has no recovery phase.
• This technique is effective and can be corrected with hyaluronidase injections (which erase the effects of hyaluronic acid).

It’s important to note that the effects of hyaluronic acid are not long-lasting, fading in less than a year. It is therefore necessary to repeat the procedure every 8 to 10 months to preserve them.
