Medical rhinoplasty

Medical rhinoplasty reshapes the nose using small hyaluronic acid injections, with no operation and no recovery time. The principle can seem counter-intuitive: product is added to make the nose look slimmer.

The explanation is optical. What the eye reads in a nose is mostly its profile line and the way light catches it. By slightly filling the dip above a bump, the break in the line disappears and the profile becomes straight. By supporting the tip, it is lifted by a few millimetres, which is often enough to change the expression of the whole face.

This treatment answers specific situations well: a moderate bump on the profile, a drooping tip, a nose that looks deviated, a hollow left after surgery, a slight asymmetry.

It is important to be clear about what it does not do, and our physicians will tell you before you book. It does not reduce the size of the nose. It adds, it removes nothing. It does not narrow wide nostrils. It corrects no breathing problem. If what you want is a reduction, only surgery will deliver it, and we will refer you to a surgeon.

One safety point deserves your attention. The nose is a high-risk area: the vessels supplying it are fine and connect directly to those of the eye. A badly placed injection can have serious consequences. This procedure must never be entrusted to anyone who is not a physician, and it demands a thorough command of facial anatomy.

The result is visible immediately and lasts twelve to eighteen months.
