Non-surgical rhinoplasty, often referred to as a "liquid nose job" or "nose fillers," is a cosmetic procedure that uses injectable fillers to alter and shape a person's nasal profile without invasive surgery. This method has gained popularity as an alternative to traditional rhinoplasty due to its minimal downtime, lower cost, and immediate results.
At CLNQ in Cheshire & Manchester non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the injection of a substance, typically a dermal filler, directly into the nose to modify its shape. The fillers can smooth out bumps, alter the shape of the tip of the nose, and improve nasal symmetry. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and can take as little as 15 to 30 minutes. They can also be used in patients who have previously had rhinoplasty surgery and have some small areas of irregularities.
The most common types of fillers used for non-surgical rhinoplasty include:
Nose Fillers or non-surgical rhinoplasty has become a popular alternative to rhinoplasty surgery. After receiving non-surgical rhinoplasty Manchester & Cheshire patients can expect the benefits to include:
Although non-surgical rhinoplasty may be useful for many patients, some patients may seek alternatives or longer-term solutions. For those seeking alternatives to Nose Fillers, options include:
The cost of non-surgical rhinoplasty in Manchester & Cheshire varies widely depending on the type of filler used, the expertise of the doctor or nurse, and the amount used. At CLNQ, the price of non-surgical rhinoplasty is from £400 with our doctors.
To find non-surgical rhinoplasty near you, you can start by consulting with an experienced doctor, surgeon, or nurse in a CQC-registered clinic. In Manchester and Cheshire, where you are based, there are numerous reputable clinics that offer this service.
It is crucial to choose one with a good track record and the necessary qualifications to ensure safe and effective results. We only use reputable products with good safety records. There are currently numerous fillers on the market, and some lack safety information or may even be counterfeit. Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a less invasive alternative to traditional nose surgery, with numerous benefits and a range of options to suit different needs. However, it's important to weigh the potential risks and discuss them with a qualified professional to make an informed decision.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty, though minimally invasive, carries certain risks and potential complications. The scientific community, through various studies and reviews, provides evidence-based insights into these risks. Below are some of the key risks associated with non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal fillers.
One of the most serious risks associated with injectable fillers in non-surgical rhinoplasty is vascular occlusion, where the filler material inadvertently enters a blood vessel, causing a blockage. This can lead to tissue necrosis (death of tissue) or even more severe complications, such as blindness, if the occlusion affects the arteries that supply the eyes.
Studies have shown cases where patients experienced skin necrosis and vision impairment due to arterial occlusion caused by hyaluronic acid fillers. Research emphasizes the importance of understanding nasal vascular anatomy to minimize these risks (source: "Complications of Nasal Hyaluronic Acid Fillers and Their Management: A Review of the Literature," Facial Plastic Surgery, 2020). This is why you should always seek a qualified doctor or nurse who has knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
At CLNQ, we also offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which has been shown in studies to be beneficial in patients who had vascular occlusion and filler dissolving. This means that in the very unlikely event of a problem, we have all the treatments to help recovery and reversal.
Though relatively rare, infections can occur after a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure. These might be due to non-sterile techniques, the introduction of bacteria at the time of injection, or the use of contaminated fillers. This is, again, why you should go to a CQC-registered clinic that has high standards for maintaining infection control.
A review in the "Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology" notes that infections can occur post-filler injections and may manifest as late-onset inflammatory nodules. Proper aseptic technique and timely intervention are crucial for management (source: "Infection Rates among Aesthetic Patients Using Hyaluronic Acid Fillers", 2018).
Although modern fillers are generally well tolerated, allergic reactions can still occur. These reactions might range from mild redness and swelling at the injection site to more severe systemic reactions.
The incidence of allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers is low, but when they occur, they can be distressing. The journal "Dermatologic Surgery" provides instances of hypersensitivity reactions, underscoring the need for allergy testing when indicated (source: "Hypersensitivity Reactions to Hyaluronic Acid Fillers", 2012).
As with any cosmetic procedure, there is a risk of asymmetry or unsatisfactory aesthetic results after non-surgical rhinoplasty. These outcomes can be due to uneven product placement, migration of the filler material, or differing rates of absorption.
According to a study in "Aesthetic Surgery Journal," patient dissatisfaction often relates to aesthetic outcomes. The study discusses techniques for achieving symmetry and the importance of patient-provider communication before the procedure (source: "Aesthetic Outcomes in Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty", 2019).
Temporary swelling and bruising are common after filler injections, but sometimes, these symptoms can be prolonged or more severe than expected.
Research in "Dermatologic Therapy" indicates that while most swelling and bruising resolve within a week, in some cases, these can persist longer and may require intervention (source: "Management of Swelling After Facial Fillers", 2020).
Granulomas are inflammatory nodules that can form as a reaction to filler material, particularly with non-hyaluronic acid fillers. These are often delayed reactions occurring months or even years after the procedure.
The "Journal of Dermatological Treatment" discusses cases of granuloma formation post-filler injection, highlighting the need for awareness of such delayed complications and strategies for their management (source: "Granuloma Formation after Dermal Fillers", 2021).
These scientific sources highlight the importance of selecting a qualified and experienced practitioner who understands both the technical skill required for injecting fillers and the anatomy of the nose to minimize risks. Patients should also be informed about the potential complications and symptoms to watch for following non-surgical rhinoplasty.
The longevity of non-surgical rhinoplasty varies depending on several factors, including the type of filler used, the individual's metabolism, the area treated, and the technique of the injector. Here's a general guideline for how long you can expect different types of Nose Fillers to last:
For those considering Nose Fillers, it's essential to discuss your expectations and any concerns with our experienced filler doctors or nurses. They can advise on the best type of filler for your specific needs and how to achieve long-lasting results. Regular maintenance sessions may be necessary to preserve the desired outcome.
