LRhinomodeling consists of a treatment that allows you to reshape the nose without the need for surgery or minimally invasive rhinoplasty.
The main difference between rhinomodeling and rhinoplasty is that rhinomodeling is a nose styling process that does not include surgery and has no complications. In rhinomodeling, an attempt is made to shape some deformity or protuberance of the nose so that it is in harmony with the rest of the face, but the patient's imperfections must not be very marked to be able to undergo the treatment.
The rhinomodeling process does not last more than half or three quarters of an hour, does not require hospitalization and sometimes requires local anesthesia.
The rhinomodeling process is carried out to correct irregularities in the profile, both of the bridge and of the nasal tip, always depending on the needs of each patient.
It is an intervention that is not used to correct any type of nose since it does not allow modifying the bone base, therefore, it is not indicated for a very large nose or a very prominent bridge. In turn, the imperfections that the patient wishes to modify should not be very prominent and should not be very marked, since in these cases rhinomodeling would not be effective.
For these cases there are other types of nose operations, such as rhinoplasty, which is nose surgery that allows correcting the functionality of the nasal appendage and modifying bone or cartilage structures to achieve a new shape that improves facial harmony.
Rhinomodeling allows correcting small deformities.
The rhinomodeling process has a series of phases. In this treatment, the specialist tries to shape the nose so that it forms harmony with the rest of the face.
Thanks to the infiltration of absorbable material, rhinomodeling allows correcting small imperfections of the nose, as well as deviations, slightly and aesthetically improving the bridge and improving possible slight asymmetries.
Rhinomodeling is carried out by means of microinjections of different filling substances; if the nose is shaped by applying hyaluronic acid to the precise points, the result will last nine months since this substance is resorbable, so the treatment must be repeated; if a definitive result is desired, Metacrill® microinjections are applied, which is a definitive product.
Rhinomodeling is a non-surgical procedure for which only local anesthesia is used, so the complications are fewer than in rhinoplasty.
Even so, there are some, such as a reaction due to hypersensitivity or allergy, the possibility of infection, asymmetries or an aesthetically unsatisfactory result. In the latter case, the infiltrated hyaluronic acid could be removed with an enzymatic preparation based on hyaluronidase.
After rhinoplasty, patients should follow some guidelines:
- Rest recommended by the specialist, normally 48 hours.
- Follow medical prescriptions.
- Avoid sleeping face down.
- Do not carry out activities that can damage the nose: sports, driving, etc.
- Have someone who can help the first hours.
- Communicate to the specialist if you suffer pain or discomfort.
- Avoid wearing glasses.
As such, it is rhinomodeling that has been presented as an alternative to rhinoplasty. However, it should be noted that it is not a substitute method, since it does not have the capacity to correct or modify the nasal structure as it is done in the case of rhinoplasty.
In this case, rhinomodeling emerges as an alternative to rhinoplasty to make small touch-ups that in no way replaces rhinoplasty, but can be used in people with small defects or who are afraid of going under the knife.
