Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty (pronunciation: non-surg-i-cal rhi-no-plas-ty) is a medical procedure that involves the modification of the nose without the need for invasive surgery.
Etymology
The term "non-surgical rhinoplasty" is derived from the Greek words "rhinos" (nose) and "plassein" (to shape). The prefix "non-surgical" is used to differentiate this procedure from traditional rhinoplasty, which involves surgical intervention.
Procedure
Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a "nose job" or "nose reshaping", involves the use of injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid or polydioxanone (PDO) threads to alter the shape, size, or contour of the nose. This procedure is typically performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon under local anesthesia.
Benefits and Risks
The benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty include a shorter recovery time, less risk of complications, and the ability to achieve subtle changes in nose shape. However, the results are temporary and the procedure may need to be repeated every 6-12 months. Risks include infection, bruising, and dissatisfaction with the results.
