Medical Rhinoplasty: Everything You Need to Know About Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

A Gentle Alternative to Nose Surgery

Until recently, the only solution to correct nasal imperfections was cosmetic surgery. Medical rhinoplasty is a non-surgical alternative to traditional rhinoplasty, ideal for correcting flaws without an operation. Thanks to hyaluronic acid injections, this quick treatment harmonises the profile with visible results from the end of the session and a balanced appearance. Without general anaesthesia or social exclusion, non-surgical rhinoplasty appeals to patients seeking a gentle, safe, and reversible solution.

The medical rhinoplasty is perfectly suited to modern aesthetic expectations, providing a balanced result that harmonises beautifully with the face.

What is Medical Rhinoplasty?

Medical rhinoplasty is a non-surgical aesthetic technique. It allows for the correction of certain irregularities of the nose through hyaluronic acid injections:

• to conceal a hump,
• to straighten a nasal bridge,
• to slightly lift the tip of the nose,
• to correct asymmetry.

Immediate results, natural and without social exclusion.

Medical Rhinoplasty vs Surgical Rhinoplasty: What Are the Differences?

• Medical Rhinoplasty: no surgery, temporary results, quick procedure, reversible, no scars.
• Surgical Rhinoplasty: permanent intervention, modification of the bony structure, requires anaesthesia.

Medical rhinoplasty does not reduce the size of the nose.

What Can Be Corrected with Medical Rhinoplasty?

Possible corrections include:

• Correction of a nasal hump
• Profile harmonisation
• Correction of asymmetry
• Slight elevation of the tip

Can the Tip of the Nose Be Refined Without Surgery?

No. A thick tip is associated with excess cartilage. Only surgery can refine it.

Does Medical Rhinoplasty Hurt?

The procedure is mildly painful. An anaesthetic cream is applied before the injection. Expect a slight pressure sensation at most.

How Long Do the Results Last?

The results last 12 to 18 months. A maintenance session is recommended to sustain the effect.

What Product is Injected?

A reticulated, dense, cohesive hyaluronic acid tailored for the nasal area. It is a biodegradable product that is well tolerated.

Is It Safe?

Yes, if performed by an experienced professional. Hyaluronic acid is biocompatible. Allergic reactions are very rare.

What Are the Contraindications?

• Pregnancy / breastfeeding
• Autoimmune diseases
• Local infections
• Anticoagulants

Are there any side effects?

Common and mild effects: redness, swelling, bruising. Rarely: vascular complications in the case of poor injection.

Can there be serious complications?

Yes, very rarely: necrosis may occur if a blood vessel is blocked. This justifies an injection performed by an experienced professional.

Can the product migrate?

Very low risk. The hyaluronic acid used is designed to stay in place. Do not massage the area after the procedure.

What is the price of non-surgical rhinoplasty?

The price is €450 including VAT. No reimbursement from social security or health insurance, unless surgery is for functional reasons.

How to choose your practitioner?

• Check qualifications (aesthetic doctor or surgeon)
• Look at before/after photos
• Ask for clear explanations
• Ensure the quality of the products used

Can you undergo non-surgical rhinoplasty after nose surgery?

No. After surgery, the blood supply is altered. The risk of necrosis is too high. Absolute contraindication.

One last piece of advice

Do not be too hard on yourself. A small bump takes nothing away from you. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is designed to enhance your face with subtlety.
