What can be achieved with the non-surgical nose reshaping?
Non-surgical nose surgery can effectively provide aesthetic benefits and balance your facial features. The cosmetic procedure can disguise bumps and indentations that may be affecting your body appearance.
It can correct abnormalities in the shape of the nose, making your nose shape appear smaller and proportionate to your face. Injectable fillers may be used in an attempt to enhance the appearance of the bridge of the nose and nasal tip, with the goal of subtly altering their height.
How do the results compare to a traditional rhinoplasty?
There are several differences between a non-surgical rhinoplasty and a surgical rhinoplasty. In regards to the final results, the key differences are:
- Nose fillers, while precise and effective, are best suited for minor aesthetic irregularities and contouring whereas a doctor can correction functional abnormalities and significantly reshape the nose during a traditional rhinoplasty procedure.
- You’ll see the results of your non-surgical nose reshaping immediately. The final results of plastic surgery will be seen after the recovery period of 7-10 days and once the bruising and swelling subside.
- While surgical rhinoplasty typically offers long-term results, the effects of Volume Enhancement Treatments used in non-surgical nose jobs generally last for 18-24 months and may vary between individuals.
What Volume Enhancement Treatments are used?
High-quality Volume Enhancement Treatments are used at the Cosmos Aesthetics in Melbourne for all non-surgical nose reshaping procedures to allow for greater control and natural results.
These Volume Enhancement Treatments are of a hyaluronic acid substance which is composed of natural complex sugar. As the body naturally produces this substance, the side effects are minimised and will eventually get absorbed by the body. Synthetic injectables, on the other hand, aren’t naturally absorbed. This will provide semi-permanent results with some of the substance remaining in the body.
How long will the results of the cosmetic procedure last?
The results of a non-surgical nose job using hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between 18-24 months.
What is the downtime required?
Another drawcard for non-surgical nose reshaping is that there is no need for downtime. Unlike a surgical procedure where patients require 7-10 days off work and bruising and swelling will persist for several weeks.
