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

A Gentle Alternative to Nose Surgery

Until recently, the only solution for correcting nose imperfections was cosmetic surgery. Medical rhinoplasty is a non-surgical alternative to traditional rhinoplasty, ideal for addressing nose flaws without an operation. Thanks to hyaluronic acid injections, this quick treatment allows for profile harmonisation with visible results immediately at the end of the session and a harmonious appearance. Without the need for general anaesthesia or social downtime, non-surgical rhinoplasty appeals to patients seeking a gentle, safe, and reversible solution.

Medical rhinoplasty is perfectly suited to modern aesthetic expectations, providing a balanced result that is in perfect harmony 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 using hyaluronic acid injections:

• hiding a bump,
• straightening a nasal ridge,
• slightly lifting the nose tip,
• correcting asymmetry.

Immediate, natural results with no social downtime.

Medical Rhinoplasty vs Surgical Rhinoplasty: What Are the Differences?

• Medical Rhinoplasty: non-surgical, temporary results, quick procedure, reversible, no scars.
• Surgical Rhinoplasty: permanent intervention, structural alteration of the bone, 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 bump
• Profile harmonisation
• Correction of asymmetry
• Slight lifting of the tip

Can the Nose Tip Be Slimmed Without Surgery?

No. A thick tip is caused by an excess of cartilage. Only surgery can refine it.

Is Medical Rhinoplasty Painful?

The procedure is minimally painful. An anaesthetic cream is applied prior to injection. A slight pressure sensation at most.

How Long Do Results Last?

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

What Product Is Injected?

A cross-linked, dense, cohesive hyaluronic acid that is specifically designed for the nasal area. This product is resorbable and 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.
