Injuries that have wreaked havoc on the face, hereditary deformities and the general quest of many to have the perfect face have sent many flocking to plastic surgeons in order to undergo plastic surgery of the nose.

Plastic surgery of the nose, or rhinoplasty, is an invasive surgical procedure that can be done two ways: there is the open rhinoplasty and the closed rhinoplasty. The first, called the open rhinoplasty, involves the making of incisions outside the nose in order to restructure or realign the nose. A closed rhinoplasty meanwhile involves the making of incisions inside the nose. Both methods have been proven to be effective.

There are some plastic surgeons however who, as much as possible, would prefer to perform closed rhinoplasty on their patients because there is less scarring and it is less harmful to the patient. However, there are some individuals who would still require open rhinoplasty because the amount of work that has to be done on their faces cannot be done through closed rhinoplasty.

Another procedure called a septoplasty can also be performed by a plastic surgeon if the only problem that the patient wishes to remedy is the realignment of a deviated septum, which causes physical and health problems for an individual.

However, if the thought of undergoing surgery, in order to improve the appearance of your nose, scares you, you will be thankful for the advancements that technology has brought about in our modern times. Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a non-invasive option to those who are afraid of going under the knife or who just cannot be bothered with the hassles that healing and other post-operation procedures bring about.

But how exactly do these non-surgical rhinoplasties work? Plastic surgeons and dermatologists can use products such as Botox, Restylane and Radiesse, in their injection forms. With these products that are already used to remove wrinkles and shape the other areas of the face, they can be used in variable amounts in order to control and shape the nose.

The non-surgical rhinoplasty solution is ideal for those who are looking to improve their noses but do not require any major or drastic changes. Examples of the ideal candidates for a non-surgical rhinoplasty are those individuals who have noses which are not symmetrical, when there are some bulges in the nose that are unsightly and other similar minor imperfections.

The non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure is sometimes touted as the “fifteen-minute nose job”, because the entire procedure only takes up fifteen minutes of the patient’s time. Another reason why this new development is so appealing to many individuals is that there is less pain and practically no healing time after the procedure. The results are instant, and there is no need to wear bandages, replace dressings and take pain medications after the procedure, all of which are associated with having a nose job.

This new form of rhinoplasty is also very appealing to a lot of individuals because it will cost them considerably less than what a surgical rhinoplasty would cost. So for those who are not willing to spend too much but would like to remedy the appearance of their noses in a non-invasive manner, the non-surgical rhinoplasty is their best option.
