NON SURGICAL RHINO/ LIQUID NOSE JOB
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We inject a reversible hyaluronic acid dermal filler ( either Perfectha Subskin/ Aliaxin EV above the dorsal hump to fill above a bump to give the illusion of a straight nose, and sometimes under the columella (the base of the nose) to give lift. We can also inject into and around cartilage deformities of the nose, as appropriate to the individual patient and their individual needs. The overall effect is a smoother, streamlined and smaller looking nose.
The nose never, ever looks bigger, as you can see from our results – although we’re asked this all the time. We never make the nose look larger, and indeed the contrary is true as a straight, smooth nose always and for a wide nose we can add definition, to make it appear narrower.
Treatment to those patients whom have had a surgical rhinoplasty, may take more than one treatment – and need to be built in layers, to avoid compromise of blood vessels. Safety first!
WHAT IS THE DOWN TIME? IS IT THE SAME AS SURGERY?
There is little to no down time. It’s very different to surgery. Immediately after the treatment, the nose is shiny and a little red – which is to be expected when there are needles involved. This settles within a couple of hours, and you can apply makeup safely after only an hour. It’s highly unlikely anyone will be able to tell you’ve had work done. We do use needles, but we often use cannulas – meaning there is only one entry point for the whole procedure. This is a blunt vessel which distributes filler far more safely than a needle, causing far less trauma to the surrounding tissue.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Unbelievably, the injecting procedure itself takes only 5 minutes or so! The filler lasts approximately 12-18 months, although it varies according to the individual of course.
Occasionally the nose will swell a little, meaning we stop filling as soon the area appears straight (regardless of what is causing this i.e filler or oedema). The swelling (if there is indeed any) resolves relatively quickly, and there may be a tiny 2 minute top up needed to replace the tiny area that was swollen. This is rare, but we are delighted to do this for a discounted fee of-£50 off the full priced treatment.
DOES IT HURT, AND/OR BRUISE?
Of course, every patient is different – and most patients say the discomfort is minimal. Bruising isn’t impossible but only a small percentage of patients suffer from this as a result of the treatment. The most common complaint is puffiness and tenderness for a couple of days. Any discolouration can be covered with make-up, which can be safely applied an hour after treatment as mentioned earlier. The use of a cannula, significantly reduces these chances, as explained. However, the technique will be discussed with your doctor on the day during consultation, and we will likely choose the safest method, and the one best for the results of your nose type.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS TREATMENT?
You may experience minor lumpiness, swelling, or bruising even in experienced hands. The injections are localized and can cause temporary swelling and inflammation for a couple of days – as it’s a sensitive area! There is always a risk of vascular occlusion in all injections, which can be resolved quickly by dissolving. We use a non permanent filler so complications will usually improve and resolve with time, if you are unlucky enough to get one. However, every result can be tweaked in the requisite time period! All of the rhinoplasty fillers we use are fully reversible, instantly.
