Everything You Need to Know About Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Are you considering enhancing the appearance of your nose without undergoing surgery? Non-surgical rhinoplasty might be the solution you've been looking for. In this comprehensive guide, we will provide you with all the essential information about non-surgical rhinoplasty, its benefits, procedure, recovery, and more. At our doctor-led clinic in Leeds, we offer safe and effective non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments tailored to your specific needs.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a non-surgical nose job or liquid rhinoplasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that aims to reshape and enhance the appearance of the nose without the need for surgery. It involves the use of injectable dermal fillers to modify the contours of the nose, correct minor imperfections, and achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers several advantages over traditional surgical rhinoplasty. Some key benefits include:

1. Non-invasive: The procedure does not involve incisions, anesthesia, or significant downtime.
2. Quick and convenient: The treatment can be performed in a relatively short amount of time, often during a single office visit.
3. Immediate results: You can see the results of non-surgical rhinoplasty right after the procedure, with further improvements over the following weeks.
4. Reversible: Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, the effects of non-surgical rhinoplasty are temporary, and the procedure can be adjusted or reversed if desired.
5. Minimal discomfort: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and topical numbing creams can be applied to enhance comfort.
6. Natural-looking results: Skilled practitioners can achieve subtle and natural-looking results that enhance the overall facial aesthetics.

During a non-surgical rhinoplasty, a Dr Saniyya will inject small amounts of dermal fillers into specific areas of the nose to reshape its contours. The type and amount of filler used depend on the individual's goals and the specific concerns being addressed. The fillers work by adding volume, filling in depressions, and smoothing out irregularities to create a more symmetrical and balanced appearance.

On the day of the procedure, Dr Saniyya will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Using a fine needle, the dermal fillers will be carefully injected into the predetermined areas of your nose. Dr Saniyya has a precise understanding of facial anatomy and will strategically place the fillers to achieve the desired results.

Throughout the procedure, you will be able to communicate with her, providing feedback and ensuring that your expectations are met. The injections are typically quick and relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only minimal discomfort. Once the desired corrections have been made, she will gently massage the treated area to ensure even distribution of the fillers.

One of the significant advantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty is the minimal downtime associated with the procedure. You can typically resume your daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic. However, it is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of complications.

After the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection sites. These effects are temporary and should subside within a few days. Applying cold compresses and avoiding strenuous activities or excessive sun exposure can help alleviate these symptoms. It is crucial to avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours to allow the fillers to settle properly.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty provides instant results that will continue to improve over the following weeks as any initial swelling subsides. You will notice a more refined and balanced appearance of your nose, with enhanced symmetry and smoother contours. The results typically last between 9 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle habits.

If you are satisfied with the initial results and wish to maintain them, periodic touch-up treatments can be scheduled to ensure long-lasting effects. Dr Saniyya will guide you on the ideal timing for follow-up appointments and help create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
