Rhinoplasty injection

Injections instead of a rhinoplasty

This whole idea seems absurd to me. Injections would make the nose bigger, while most rhinoplasties are done for noses that are too large.

Furthermore, there is no legal injectable substance that is permanent. (Howard T. Bellin, MD (retired), Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)

What is NON-Surgical Nose Job or Injection Nose job

The injection of FDA fillers under the skin of the nose allows the prolonged masking and temporary correction of subtle profile deformities.

It will not take the place of surgical nose jobs but is much cheaper than surgery and in the right people can be a great nose surgery alternative. (Peter A. Aldea, MD, Memphis Plastic Surgeon)

Injection rhinoplasty

An injection rhinoplasty is a technique to change some aspects of the nose with injectable fillers such as Juvederm or Radiesse.

Also Botox can be used to create subtle changes in the nose . The changes are subtle and not easily reversible if you don’t like them.

Typically the changes go away in a few months. Save your money and get the real thing. (Talmage J. Raine, MD, FACS, Champaign Plastic Surgeon)

Techniques for injection rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a popular and effective surgery to recontour the shape of your nose. Sometimes, if the patient needs a small correction or to fill a small defect on the bridge of the nose, it is possible to perform an injection with a dermal filler to correct this small defect.

This should be done with extreme caution as the nasal skin is very thin and any irregularity can become quite visible. Be sure that you’re working with a board-certified plastic surgeon was a great deal of experience in rhinoplasty and injectables. (Pat Pazmino, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

Injection rhinoplasty tips

Injection rhinoplasty also knows as the non surgical nose job or 5 minute nose job is a technique that has been around for many years but only been receiving publicity over the last 10 years.

Non-surgical rinoplasty injection

The filler is injected into different areas of the nose to affect the appearance of the nose. This can be done to camouflage a bump or project the tip. The results can look nice but are temporary. (Jason B. Diamond, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Non-surgical rhinoplasty has very limited use.

Everyone wants to avoid surgery if possible, of course. And if your nose has a flat profile, it can be made higher with Juvederm injection. But most people who are not happy with their nose need a surgical rhinoplasty. (George J. Beraka, MD (retired), Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)

Other considerations with injection rhinoplasty

I completely agree with my colleague’s comments regarding non-surgical or “injection” rhinoplasty. If I can expand on his answer, there are a few things to also consider: Many times, a patient will be better served with a surgical rhinoplasty since surgery can address a broader range of problems with nasal shape and proportion. Because of this, it’s essential that anyone offering a non-surgical rhinoplasty is also trained and skilled at surgical rhinoplasty (i.e., a surgeon board-certified in facial plastic surgery or general plastic surgery).

Rhinoplasty injectionradiesse

In my opinion, it’s difficult if not impossible for someone not trained in surgical rhinoplasty to determine whether a patient is best served with an injection rhinoplasty instead. Bear in mind that injection rhinoplasty adds volume to the nose. It cannot make a nose smaller, for example (although an unsightly bump can often be camouflaged by injecting fillers next to it). While temporary fillers such as Radiesse are excellent for “trying on” a non-surgical rhinoplasty, I’ll often recommend that my patients consider ArteFill (a permanent injectable filler) to maintain the correction of their nose if they liked the result from Radiesse.

By using a permanent filler, we avoid the life-long need for repeat injections and also prevent the patient from having to watch their old nasal contour reappear as the temporary products wear off. Keep in mind, though, that while the advantage of ArteFill is it’s permanence, it’s disadvantage can be its permanence (if a patient dislikes the result).

That’s why I’ll almost always recommend an initial trial of Radiesse or even Juvederm before going to something permanent.
