What is a Non Surgical Nose Job?
Not all nose jobs need to go under the knife to be reshaped. In 2004, a
specialist in plastic surgery developed a non surgical treatment that
today is known as Injection Rhinoplasty or the “15 Minute Nose Job”
This treatment is perfect for the person who needs minor adjustments
such as slight crookedness of the nose, drooping tips and random bumps.
Injection Rhinoplasty is also perfect for the patient who is on a
limited budget since the cost of this treatment is minimal compared to
the traditional nose job surgery. The average cost is between $1,000 to
$1,500.
The method is simple. Once the consultation is complete, and the doctor
has determined the patient can benefit from this milder treatment, an
appointment is made. Once treatment begins, the nose is numbed usually
with a topical cream and requires no further need for anesthia. Next a
filler material most often composed of a safe and well tested mix of 1 of the following:
- Botox – “A protein derived from a botulism toxin”
- Restylane – “Non-animal sourced hyaluronic acid” also used for lip
augmentation
- Radiesse. – “calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel”
The entire injection process takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. The
Cosmetic surgery treatment does not usually cause swelling or bruising and the patient
can return to work immediately.
It is important to note that this nose job method does not repair
deformities of the nose is simply camouflages them by smoothing out and
filling in areas to give the appearance of a straighter, more even nose.
The injections are subtle enough to ensure it does not increase the nose
size, just changes its existing proportions.
A Non Surgical Nose Job is not a permanent fix. Based on the choice of
injected filler the effects will last between 8 months to a year simply
because the body will absorb the filler material.
