Non-surgical rhinoplasty (more literally known as ‘nose filler’) is an aesthetic treatment that’s recently risen in popularity with women and men alike.
“By carefully injecting dermal filler above and below the ‘bump’ on the nose, we can very easily make the most ‘hooked’ of noses, look completely straight. Additionally, by applying filler around the tip of the nose, we can make it look thinner and more refined, and can further lift the tip of the nose by injecting Botox into the depressor nasalis, the muscle which continuously pulls the nose down.”
We now have more and more options for performing non-surgical procedures. Being non-surgical it means less risk, less downtime, fewer side effects and yet with very similar results. The new non-surgical nose job using dermal fillers means we can do so much in just five minutes and with no pain. Surgical rhinoplasty, however, takes a month or longer to recover from and results are not always perfect.
“It’s not permanent, so if you don’t like the results you can wait a few months, or have the procedure reversed by professionally dissolving the filler. A surgical nose job is permanent, and now often we find we are using the non-surgical fillers to correct rhinoplasty which has gone wrong, which goes to show it can be the better option.”
The ideal thread lift candidate is usually in his or her late thirties to early fifties, whereas most patients over the age of about 55 will benefit more profoundly from facelift surgery. Thread lifts can, however, provide a facelift alternative for older patients who are unable to have surgery for medical reasons. Because thread lifts can be performed under local anaesthesia, many people who have age-related conditions that make them ineligible for surgery (like high blood pressure, type two diabetes and cardiovascular disease) can safely have this treatment.
POD, or polydioxanone threads, dissolve after only six to nine months. Patients will notice full results around three weeks post-procedure. During this three week span, the skin has repositioned and collagen has flooded the area as it is the body’s natural injury response.
While minimally-invasive, thread lift procedures are not entirely pain-free. Although it is one of the most minimally-invasive procedures there is the market today, patients do some times experience post-procedural bruising, swelling and soreness.
