Candidates for nose reshaping
The treatment is ideal for patients who prefer a non-surgical option, with almost immediate results and without having to alter their daily activities. When nose imperfections are mild, non-surgical rhinoplasty can improve appearance simply, quickly, and virtually without pain. However, the treatment has its limitations, so that for patients with pronounced imperfections or deformities, the surgical option will be the most appropriate.
Risks and side-effects
In the hands of an experienced and properly trained physician, hyaluronic acid (HA) injections rarely cause problems. However, any medical treatment carries a risk. Patients with blood coagulation problems, infections, breast-feeding and pregnancy, among other medical conditions, are not good candidates for treatment.
Possible side effects and complications: bruising in the injected area, inflammation, allergic reactions, infection, embolism and subsequent skin necrosis. This last complication is extremely rare, although it has been described.
The most common after treatment is a small inflammation of the injected area that will gradually disappear in 24-48 hours, and sometimes small bruises that can be effectively covered with makeup after 12 hours.
Most patients consider the results of HA nose reshaping treatment to be very satisfactory, as it can visibly improve their appearance and have a very positive effect on self-esteem. We recommend that you contact your physician to discuss your individual situation.
