Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Filling)

Nasal filling is a method known as non-surgical rhinoplasty. In this method, after the patient's nose structure and the areas for the desired aesthetics are examined, it is discussed whether the patient is suitable for this procedure. Sometimes the desired procedure may not be done for the patient without surgery. If the patient is found suitable for the procedure, certain areas of the patient's nose surface are marked. Then the injectable filler is filled from these marked areas. The nose filling method is preferred for the nose to have a natural and symmetrical structure without the need for any surgical operation. With this method, operations such as nasal enlargement, reduction or lengthening can be performed. It is an application that does not require anesthesia and takes place in a very short time.

What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Filling)?

Non-surgical applications are frequently preferred, especially in the aesthetic field. Many patients search for these applications, which are both painless and short-lived, without being involved in a surgical operation. Nasal filling is also at the forefront among the applications researched. Non-surgical rhinoplasty includes applications done by using the filler material to make the desired shape of the nose.

While some patients prefer non-surgical rhinoplasty to change the size of the nose, others prefer it to correct the bridge structure of the protruding nose. This application can also be used for the shape of the nose tip. If the patient has a small nose tip, he requests a nasal filling so that it can be larger and proportional. Nasal filling is a method that can be completed in 2-3 minutes and does not affect the daily activities of the patient in any way

How is Nose Filling Made?

The stages of nose filling are performed very easily and quickly compared to normal rhinoplasty surgeries. These stages may differ according to the patient's condition. But in general it is listed as follows:

• First, the patient's nose structure is discussed and examined regarding its suitability for filling. The patient's complaints are listened to.
• Then the doctor prepares a plan for the operation and gives a date.
• A thorough nasal cleaning takes place before the patient is filled with nasal filling. The inner surface of the nose is completely cleaned.
• Then, local anesthesia can be applied to the patient, depending on his/her request.
• In this application, which can start with or without anesthesia, filler is injected into the inner surface of the nose from the marked areas.
• At this injection stage, the distribution of the filler is carefully followed up by the doctor.
• The process is completed when the application is performed as desired.
• It is normal to experience swelling and pain after the procedure. The pain is reduced with the drugs prescribed by the doctor.

What are the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Filling) Methods?

Nasal filling covers applications where different results are aimed for according to the content of the injected filling. Basically, the filling process will provide volume to the points determined on the nose surface. However, how long this volume will remain there depends on the substance used. In particular, the most suitable filling for the patient is chosen by the physician. The substances used for non-surgical rhinoplasty and their effects are as follows:

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is one of the fillers injected into the nasal surface. Since this substance is a substance that the body already produces, it can remain in the body for years.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite Filler

This filler, which has the ability to strengthen and renew muscles and bones, is suitable for people who aim for long-term results. It provides volume to the nasal surface where it is injected.

Polylactic Acid

Polylactic acid is a substance used in fillings. Although it is of hyluronic acid origin, there are differences in its effectiveness. This filler, which shows its effectiveness after 2 weeks, gives a permanent appearance for up to 2 years.

What Should Be Considered After Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

After nasal filling, which is a different procedure from aesthetic surgeries, patients should pay attention to themselves. Pain and swelling may occur, especially in post-operative patients. This situation is controlled by the doctor with painkillers. The patient should be aware that they are in a process, rather than observing an immediate effect. The effect of the filler starts after the 2nd day and can be fully seen after 2 weeks. During this period, it is necessary to avoid excessive contact with the nose area. In order to prevent any infection in the nose, the patient should take care to be in a sterile environment in the first month after the procedure.
