There has been a growing trend in the beauty industry – the rise of non-surgical nose reshaping. Gone are the days when people had to go under the knife for surgical procedures to alter the shape of their noses. This innovative technique, experts suggest, has revolutionised the field of aesthetics by providing a non-invasive solution to those seeking a more refined nasal appearance.

So, what exactly is non-surgical nose reshaping?

Non-surgical nose reshaping, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or liquid rhinoplasty, involves using dermal fillers to reshape the nose, without the need for surgery, said Dr Aleena Rehman, aesthetic physician, hair restoration and non-surgical treatments, CARA Clinic Santacruz Mumbai. “By strategically injecting fillers into different areas of the nose, a skilled aesthetic practitioner can address a wide range of concerns, such as a dorsal hump, a droopy tip, or even a slightly asymmetrical nose,” said Dr Rehman.

How is it done?

The procedure is quick and painless. The practitioner will first assess the patient’s nose and discuss the desired outcome. Then, a topical anesthetic is applied to numb the area. Using a fine needle, the filler is injected into specific points, carefully sculpting the nose into the desired shape. The results are instant, and there is typically no downtime required, making it a popular lunchtime procedure.

What are the benefits of non-surgical nose reshaping?

One of the main benefits of non-surgical nose reshaping is that it offers immediate results without the risks and recovery time associated with a surgical procedure. The fillers used are temporary, which means that if a patient is unhappy with the results, they can simply wait for the filler to dissolve naturally over time or have it dissolved with an enzyme injection. This flexibility allows for adjustments and corrections, providing peace of mind to those considering the procedure.

What are the risks involved?

However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are risks involved with non-surgical nose reshaping. “The main concern is the skill and expertise of the practitioner. It is crucial to choose a qualified and experienced professional who is familiar with the anatomy of the nose. Poor injection technique or an inexperienced practitioner can result in complications, such as uneven results, infection, or even vascular complications,” said Dr Rehman.

According to Dr Kisalay Saurav, dermatologist and cosmetologist, founder, Dr Saurav’s Skin Clinic, Bengaluru, some of the risks are

Bruising and swelling: Some temporary side effects may include bruising and swelling at the injection sites.
Infection or allergic reaction: Although rare, there is a risk of infection or an allergic reaction to the filler material.
Vascular complications: In rare cases, vascular compromise can occur if the filler is inadvertently injected into a blood vessel, leading to potential complications, making it crucial for you to get it administered by a certified dermatologist only.

Is it long-term and can it be redone if a problem arises?

While the results of non-surgical nose reshaping are immediate, they are not permanent. Dr Kisalay mentioned, “The results of non-surgical nose reshaping are not permanent. Hyaluronic acid fillers are gradually absorbed by the body over time,” he said.

The dermal fillers used typically last between 12-24 months, depending on the type of filler used and the individual metabolism. If a patient is unhappy with the results or encounters any issues, the procedure can be reversed or adjusted by dissolving the fillers with a specific enzyme.

In conclusion, non-surgical nose reshaping has gained popularity as a less invasive and temporary solution to nose imperfections. As the demand for non-surgical nose reshaping continues to rise, patients must do their research, choose a reputable practitioner, and have realistic expectations about the outcome.
