What is Nose Filling?
Nasal filling is a procedure performed to improve the shape of the nose and provide a more aesthetic appearance without surgical intervention. In this procedure, small asymmetries, depressions and slight curvatures in the nose are eliminated by using hyaluronic acid-based fillers. This procedure, which is completed in a short time, is an ideal option for those who are afraid of nose surgery and want to improve the shape of the nose without the need for surgery. With this application, people can have an idea about what kind of result they will get when they have a nose surgery and the appearance defects in their nose are removed.
Advantages of Nose Filling
Nose filling stands out as a non-surgical, fast and comfortable procedure. This procedure, which can usually be completed within 5-10 minutes, is painless and comfortable as it is applied with local anesthetic creams. After the procedure, you can return to social life immediately and the healing process is quite short. The hyaluronic acid fillers used are absorbed by the body over time and can be dissolved if necessary, thus offering the advantage of a reversible application. The nasal filler application, which offers a non-surgical nose shaping opportunity, helps to achieve a natural appearance in harmony with the face by correcting existing visual nasal problems.
Who Can Have Nose Fillers?
Nose fillers are suitable for people who want to correct the following conditions:
- Hiding small protrusions on the bridge of the nose
- Slightly lifting the low nose tip
- Removing depressions and asymmetries on the back of the nose
- People who have had rhinoplasty surgery but need minor touch-ups
How is Nose Filling Done?
Before the procedure, the nasal structure of the person is evaluated and a plan suitable for their needs is created. Local anesthesia cream is applied to numb the area. Then the filler material is applied to the nasal area with fine-tipped injections. The procedure is usually painless and takes an average of 5-10 minutes. Slight redness or swelling may occur afterwards, but these effects disappear in a short time.
How Long Does Nose Filler Last?
Nasal filling permanence varies between 12-18 months depending on the filling material used. Since the filler is absorbed by the body over time, it can be redone at regular intervals.
Things to Consider After Nose Filling
- Pressure on the nose should be avoided for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid heavy exercise and hot environments (such as sauna, Turkish bath) for 1 week.
- A slight edema may occur after filling, but it passes in a short time.
What are the Risks of Nose Filling?
As with any aesthetic procedure, nasal filling may involve some significant risks;
- The nasal area can block blood flow and cause skin discoloration or tissue damage.
- Procedures performed under non-sterile conditions can increase the risk of infection.
- The filling may shift over time or may not be evenly distributed.
- In rare cases, allergic reactions to the filler may develop.
- Mild swelling and bruising may be seen after the procedure, but it will disappear in a short time.
- There may be a slight numbness in the application area for a short time, but it is usually temporary.
- Especially in forehead-nose junction filling applications, visual nerves may be affected, although very rarely.
- Very rarely, circulatory problems may occur in nasal tip applications; necrosis may develop in the nasal tip skin due to this.
For this reason, the nasal filling procedure must be performed by a specialist doctor. Correct techniques and the use of quality materials minimize these risks.
