Description

The Rhinofiller is an aesthetic medical technique to meet the needs of men and women who wish to model the shapes of their nose. Say goodbye to the scalpel. Unlike traditional surgery, this treatment is non-invasive, does not involve scarring and the operating room. It is performed in an outpatient clinic, the procedure is minimally invasive and does not require any type of anesthesia.

This treatment, in fact, is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require the patient to be hospitalized. The treatment takes place through micro-injections of hyaluronic acid on the nose, in different areas. The points where changes will be made based on the result you want to achieve.

It is an indicator for:

  • Level the hump of the nose;
    Slightly lift the tip of the nose;
    Straighten an uneven profile;
    Improve any imperfections following rhinoplasty;
    Correct small scars in the nose secondary to trauma or surgical outcomes.

The rhinofiller is an indicator treatment to correct exclusively aesthetic problems, it does not replace the rhinoplasty surgery, which has functional objectives, such as the resolution of respiratory problems. It is also not an indicator for reducing the size of the nose. In these cases, rhinoplasty surgery is still necessary.

Indications

It is indicated for:

  • leveling the hump of the nose
  • slightly lifting the tip of the nose
  • straightening an uneven profile
  • improving any imperfections following rhinoplasty
  • correcting small scars in the nose due to trauma or surgical outcomes

It is important to keep in mind that the rhinofiller only corrects cosmetic defects, therefore it cannot be considered as a substitute for rhinoplasty in cases where there are functional defects such as secondary breathing problems and deviations of the septum or excessive size of the nose.

To complete the treatment, further improving the result, micro-injections of Botox could also be indicated to inhibit the action of the depressor muscle of the tip of the nose responsible for its lowering during smiling.

Use

The filler can be injected into three points of the nasal pyramid:

  • root
  • back
  • tip

The choice of the filler to use is very important, as it must be completely absorbable so as not to incur complications, the quantities used during the session must never be exceeded, rather it is better to return a second time to evaluate further corrections.

The average reabsorption time varies from 6 to 12 months, when it is possible to program a possible re-touch.

The micro-injections in some cases can cause slight discomfort. However, no real pain is felt, thanks to the application of an anesthetic cream. This is applied to the nose 15 minutes before proceeding with the injections.

Once the punctures are finished, the treatment can be considered concluded, without the need to apply bandages on the nose or apply specific protections. The effects that will occur immediately after the injections are in fact minimal, and do not require specific care.

Duration

The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes.

No anesthesia is required, but generally an anesthetic lotion is applied to the skin of the nose to reduce discomfort. the result is immediately visible and no dressing is done. This way, you can immediately return to your daily activities even if in the very first hours the nose may appear slightly swollen especially in the area where the filler was applied. However, this is a temporary effect that will disappear in a matter of hours.

In the hours following the treatment, it is necessary to avoid wearing glasses on the treated area, to avoid saunas and showers that are too hot. It is also necessary to wait at least a week for sun exposure or sun lamps and to resume sporting activity.

The rhinofiller has no particular side effect. There may be mild skin irritation, swelling and post-treatment hematomas or an itchy sensation that can be controlled by applying ice at home.

The duration of the product is about 6/12 months.
