Guide to Non-Invasive Rhinoplasty Northern Virginia
Since the nose is one of our most prominent features, we tend to focus on its flaws. It is completely normal to be born with disproportionately large or small noses, crooked noses, or small imperfections that can have significant impact on your self-esteem. Nose job, or rhinoplasty, is a popular surgery but the new, non-invasive rhinoplasty in Northern Virginia is a great alternative.
Rhinoplasty
This is a surgery that reconstructs the nose. It is extremely effective in correcting functional or cosmetic problems. However, for people who only want a cosmetic change, the non-invasive rhinoplasty is a great choice.
What is Non-Invasive Rhinoplasty
A 15-minute nose job may sound too good to be true, but this non-surgical option is popular for a reason. The non-invasive rhinoplasty in Northern Virginia is a treatment that uses dermal fillers to correct imperfections of the nose. The provider uses injectables to create the illusion of structural changes, fill in dents, or make minor improvements to the overall appearance of the nose.
Since the dermal filler is temporary, patients will need to have touch-up procedures to maintain the results. Since it is not permanent, it’s great for patients who aren’t 100% ready to commit. Furthermore, patients love that the procedure is quick, convenient and requires no surgery, downtime, or recovery.
Benefits of Non-Invasive Rhinoplasty Northern Virginia
The biggest benefit of non-surgical rhinoplasty is that it doesn’t require incisions or downtime. Traditional surgical rhinoplasty results in swelling that can take up to a year to resolve. It is also a much more invasive and expensive option.
Additionally, this treatment is great for patients who aren’t ready to commit to surgery, or don’t want to deal with the downtime and recovery or traditional rhinoplasty but still want to improve the aesthetic of their nose.
Non-invasive rhinoplasty can be used to improve a drooping nasal tip, smooth out a hump on the bridge of the nose, fix slight crookedness and more. Furthermore, it offers the same psychological benefits as traditional surgery, giving patients a boost in self esteem immediately after the procedure.
The Procedure 
During this treatment, the physician will use a numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The injection process typically takes less than five minutes and patients will be able to see the changes taking place throughout the procedure.
Recovery and Downtime
Patients can resume normal activities right away. You may experience some tenderness, swelling, and bruising but these side effects are minor and subside quickly. This makes non-invasive rhinoplasty a great option for people with busy schedules. Additionally, your results are visible immediately.
