Are you not entirely happy with the appearance of your nose? Would you like to change it but don’t want to undergo surgery? If so, hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is the best alternative because it allows you to correct minor imperfections easily, quickly and naturally. It’s the ideal technique for making minor adjustments and reshaping your profile to your liking without having to go under the knife.
In this post, you’ll find everything you need to know about hyaluronic acid treatment for the nose. Read on carefully, as you’re likely to be surprised by its many benefits.
Key benefits
The nose is one of the most visible parts of the face, and changes to its appearance, however small, can make a big difference. Although many people who wish to alter their nose turn to rhinoplasty or cosmetic surgery, this is not actually necessary when it comes to minor adjustments. In such cases, hyaluronic acid injections for the nose are an excellent alternative, which is why demand for this treatment has risen in recent years. It is, for example, particularly suitable for use on small noses with slight asymmetries.
Aside from its effectiveness, it is important to note that hyaluronic acid is a natural substance produced by our bodies. It is found in the joints, cartilage and skin, and its levels decrease over time, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Therefore, replenishing it helps to combat the main signs of ageing.
Here’s one final piece of advice before we discuss the many benefits of this treatment. If you want to augment and/or alter the shape of your nose, hyaluronic acid is a good solution, but if you want to make it smaller, you should consider rhinoplasty.
Now, let’s list the key benefits of injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose:
- It corrects imperfections without the need for surgery. It’s an outpatient procedure, so you can get straight back to your normal routine.
- It is simple, natural, painless and minimally invasive.
- It’s quick and produces immediate results.
- It is more affordable than rhinoplasty.
- It leaves no marks.
Below, we answer three of the most common questions our patients ask us. They may be of help to you.
Will I need to do anything special after having a hyaluronic acid nose reshape?
As this is a fairly simple, outpatient procedure, you’ll be able to carry on with your normal life straight after the treatment. For that reason, what you need to do to ensure a good result is also straightforward. You simply need to follow the specialist’s advice. In any case, here are the basics:
- Avoid sleeping on your stomach for the first two or three days to prevent the acid from shifting. It’s best to sleep on your back with a couple of pillows to keep your head raised.
- Do not wear glasses for a few days – neither prescription glasses nor sunglasses.
- Try to rest as much as possible.
- Do not drink alcohol or engage in strenuous physical exercise.
Avoid heat.
Are hyaluronic acid treatments permanent? If not, how long do they last?
The results are visible immediately but are not permanent, unlike those of a rhinoplasty, which are. The effects last for approximately 16 to 18 months.
Can hyaluronic acid injections have side effects?
Although there may be some, they are all minor and of little significance. It is quite normal for the nose to remain red for a couple of days after the treatment, or to be slightly swollen, or to have some bruising. It may also happen that the injected substance moves to a nearby area. That is why it is so important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the specialist.
