Nose Sculpting using fillers allows physicians to correct flaws and design the nose’s appearance. This, without any complex, irreversible, and costly surgical procedures and their accompanying side effects and lengthy recovery periods. These days, many people, including celebrities, and television and film personalities, turn to nose sculpting, but they aren’t the only ones to find their noses to be a bit of a sensitive subject. Many of us are dissatisfied with the way our noses look. Some noses are not proportional to the rest of the face, while others are blemished or misshapen. As the nose is found in the center of the face, its imperfections can lead to a sense of discomfort and a decrease in self-confidence.
Men and women have long been turning to plastic surgeons for rhinoplasty (nose jobs). That said, plastic surgery is far from ideal – procedures are irreversible, expensive, and rife with side effects. What’s more, at the end of the day, they don’t always look natural. Often, people undergo surgery with high expectations, only to suffer from extreme disappointment.
The problems associated with nose jobs have driven the search for alternative treatments that are safer, simpler, and short of as many side effects as possible.
Nose Sculpting with Hyaluronic Acid
The answer we’ve all been looking for is here. Hyaluronic acid is a natural, safe substance that can be used to correct and erase nasal imperfections, while avoiding surgery (in most cases).
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced by the body. It plays an important role in various biological processes. One of its central characteristics is its ability to absorb water to volume up to 1,000 times its own weight. Namely, once a negligible amount of the acid is injected into the patient’s body, it plumps up. As such, its precise and measured use can be leveraged to sculpt the nose.
Nose sculpting cannot solve any and every problem, but it can correct many aesthetic issues. Many women suffer from bumps on their nose; these can be concealed by injecting hyaluronic acid into the site. Additionally, the nose’s appearance can be lengthened and/or thickened. To make a nose look less thick, the acid can be injected to create a longer look. Hyaluronic acid injections can also be used to correct asymmetry and overly wide nostrils.
How much does nose sculpting cost? Nose sculpting treatments cost between 2,500-5,000 NIS.
Treatment Advantages
Nose sculpting using hyaluronic acid injections is extremely popular, thanks to the following advantages:
- Hyaluronic acid breaks down and is absorbed by the body. This means that any less-than-satisfactory results can be corrected. Imperfect surgical results can only be corrected by performing another surgery.
- Nose sculpting leads to immediate results.
- There’s no lengthy recovery period.
- There are very few side effects.
- Treatments are quick and painless.
- Treatments are much more affordable than surgical procedures.
- Treatment results last for several months, and can be repeated as needed.
Treatment Disadvantages
Nose sculpting also has its share of disadvantages. As such, this treatment is not suited for everyone. The main disadvantage is that it cannot correct every nasal imperfection. Some issues do require surgical intervention. That said, it’s always worthwhile to inquire about nose sculpting, before going under the knife.
The second disadvantage is that its results aren’t permanent; at the end of the day, the nose will return to its pretreatment state (after several months). This however, can also be seen as an advantage, and maintenance treatments can be administered to retain the look.
Nose Sculpting Side Effects
As hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body, it is both familiar and safe to use. Allergic reactions rarely occur. The most common side effects are local swelling and irritation, which disappear on their own and do not require treatment. Blood vessels can also burst beneath the skin; these can be treated with warm compresses. Infections are even less common, and can be treated with antibiotics.
Nose sculpting is suitable for men and women who are interested in changing their nose’s appearance, without surgical intervention. The treatment can also be used to correct disappointing nose job results.
