Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
What is the difference between surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty?

 

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Chicago

A non-surgical rhinoplasty, is a non-invasive procedure to improve the appearance of the nose with filler. The filler is used to improve the aesthetic contour and dimensions of the nose by adding to areas of the nose that are deficient. It can be added to the nasal dorsum to improve the profile of the nose and to the tip to increase tip projection. Filler can also be used to fill the base of the nose to increase projection of the nose. It is important to know that a non-surgical rhinoplasty is not permanent but the results can last for up to a year. As with a surgical rhinoplasty procedure, every nose is unique, which is why each patient at our practice receives personalized care, an individualized course of treatment, and the safest and most innovative techniques.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty can also be useful to treat:
  • A nasal profile with a depression or hump on the bridge of the nose
  • An asymmetrical nose
  • Poor tip projection
  • Poor tip aesthetics

Am I a Candidate for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

If you have minor asymmetries of the nose, a dorsal hump, or a low nasal tip, you may be a candidate for a non-surgical rhinoplasty. If you are not sure about having a surgical rhinoplasty and would like to see what minor adjustments will look like, a non-surgical rhinoplasty may be a good starting point for you. It is important to know that a non-surgical rhinoplasty will not improve breathing issues related to your nose. There are specific indications for a non-surgical rhinoplasty and your board certified plastic surgeon will be able to determine if the procedure is right for you.

Patients who smoke or are otherwise not in good physical health are typically not ideal candidates for non-surgical rhinoplasty.

What to Expect from a Consultation

Any medical center or practice you choose should be willing to sit down with you and take the time to explain all aspects of the procedure beforehand, including associated risks and recovery. At the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, we thoroughly review your medical history, speak with you about your expectations, and provide you with an extensive overview of the aesthetic details of a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure.

How a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is Performed

First, a local anesthetic is placed on the nose and surrounding area. Next, the filler is strategically placed in the nose to address the specific aesthetic goals of the patient. This can be placed along the nasal dorsum to improve the contour of a dorsal hump. The filler can also be placed at the tip to increase tip projection and improve the aesthetics of the nasal tip. The procedure is quick and can be performed in 10-15 minutes. The results can last up to 1 year.

Recovery after a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Recovery after a non-surgical rhinoplasty is similar to the recovery after the placement of any dermal filler. The dermal filler results are almost immediate, as are the visible results. Ice packs are used after the treatment to reduce swelling. The injection sites will likely feel tender for a couple of days after the injections, but are not typically painful enough to require medication.

With some dermal fillers, you may experience an “overfull” appearance in the treated areas, or hypersensitivity that may seem like an allergic reaction. These conditions usually resolve within a few hours. If symptoms persist, be sure to speak with your plastic surgeon.

Potential Risks of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Patients should be aware that non-surgical rhinoplasty, as with any medical procedure, come with potential risks. Each individual should consider both the benefits and known risks before making the decision to have a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Such risks may include:

  • Swelling and bruising at the injection site
  • Asymmetry
  • Lumps beneath the skin
  • Changes in skin sensation

Always make sure that the plastic surgeon performing the procedure is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery because experience and credentials matter.

What Does Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Cost?

The cost of this type of procedure is going to fluctuate based on location, surgeon, center, and the individual patient’s needs. Dermal filler injections can range from $500 to $1000 per syringe depending on the product used and the site to be injected. Be sure to discuss costs with your plastic surgeon during your consultation. The Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago always provides a detailed breakdown of costs during your initial consultation.

Happy for this patient and her transformation. This patient is transfemale who underwent facial feminization. Can you tell what surgeries were performed? Still have to perform the tracheal shave. Posted with permission.

6 month follow-up on a mastopexy augmentation case. The patient’s goals were to have her breasts lifted and the volume restored after pregnancy. No patient has perfectly symmetric breasts, which is normal. This case was challenging because of the asymmetries of the nipples; trying to lift, augment, and level the nipples all at the same time is difficult. Many variables to control but the post-operative photos demonstrate improved symmetry with all of the patient’s goals achieved. Posted with permission.

6 month follow-up on a challenging revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had 3 prior rhinoplasty surgeries by another surgeon and was not happy with the aesthetics of the dorsum or tip. In the pre-operative profile views, you can see a dorsal hump, under-projected tip, and abnormal alar-columellar relationship. On frontal view, there are asymmetries of the dorsal aesthetic lines and C-shape deviation of the nose. The goal of the surgery was to make the nose straighter, improve the dorsum and tip proportions, increase tip projection, and improve the alar-columellar relationship. Look closely at the post-operative profile views and how the tip, nostril and columella appear. Posted with permission.

Many ways to do a breast augmentation but the periareolar incision is a great option because the scar becomes imperceptible as the scar matures. This patient is 6 months out from a breast augmentation and the access incision we made was at the bottom border of the nipple areolar complex. It’s hard to see the scar at this point and the scar gets even better at the 12-18 month mark. Also, nipple sensation is unaffected after surgery. The other incisions that plastic surgeons use include an incision underneath the breast, at the breast fold, or the armpit. Each incision has their pros and cons but the periareolar is my preferred approach.

Challenging #gynecomastia case where the patient had grade 2/3 gynecomastia or male breasts with excess skin and significant asymmetries. The challenging part of this case relates to how to manage the excess skin and achieve a symmetric result. Do you remove the excess skin which will leave scars or try to contract the skin with minimally invasive techniques? In this case I performed liposuction, removed the breast tissue through a nipple incision, and performed #Renuvion to facilitate contraction of the skin. Posted with permission.

3 month follow-up on this patient who wanted improvement in the projection of her chin and definition of the jawline. The patient has retrogenia or a small chin and underwent #chinaugmentation with a #genioplasty. In the pre-operative photos, you can see the chin is short and recessed and therefore I moved the chin forward and down. In the post-operative photos you can see improvement in the projection of the chin, a more defined jawline and neck, and a more balanced lower 1/3 of the face. This case highlights the advantages of a genioplasty versus a chin implant, a chin implant cannot lengthen and advance the chin to the same extent that a genioplasty can. Posted with permission.

A 1 year follow-up on a patient who wanted a rhinoplasty to remove the dorsal hump and improve the aesthetics of her tip. In this case the dorsal hump was removed, the nose made straighter, the tip refined, and the tip rotated and projected more. Her new nose fits her face without overtly changing the ethnic features of her face. Posted with permission.

One year follow-up on a #BBL or Brazilian butt lift. As you can see from the post-operative photos, the fat that is transferred stays and is permanent. Posted with permission.

Male patient in his late 60’s who was able to turn back the clock after undergoing a #facelift, #neck lift, #blepharoplasty, and #fattransfer. Pay close attention to the “bags” underneath the eyes, the jawline, and neck. The scars have healed nicely and are inconspicuous even with short hair. In the post-operative photos, the patient has maintained his natural facial features and anatomy, but just looks like a more youthful version of himself. Posted with permission.
