Stay with your nose: all the nuances of injection rhinoplasty

Botox in the nose can be an alternative to rhinoplasty. A safe procedure will allow you to reduce visible defects, restore symmetry, raise the tip, change its shape or reduce the wings in a few sessions. It blocks facial muscles and prevents the formation of wrinkles. Injections can get rid of folds, dimples on the bridge of the nose, and eliminate other defects that arose after surgery.

Botulinum toxin injections into the nose do not pose a health risk. It does not affect blood circulation and does not cause allergies, except in cases of intolerance to the components. The number of enthusiastic reviews from visitors to cosmetology clinics who received beauty injections is growing; the popularity of the service is explained by its high efficiency and reasonable cost.

Operating principle

Botox is a toxin that has a paralytic effect on the muscles, as a result, the process of supplying nerve impulses to cells is disrupted. This leads to muscle relaxation and absence of contractions. Immobilization of muscles makes it possible to simulate the desired parameters and smooth out wrinkles.

Botulinum therapy is an alternative to rhinoplasty. The procedure helps to correct certain imperfections in the shape of the nose:

• narrow the nostrils;
• raise or lower the tip;
• get rid of small wrinkles on the bridge of the nose;
• model the wings;
• straighten the contour of the nose;
• remove small scars.

The number of injections is minimal, so the pattern of points is quite simple. To avoid mistakes, some doctors use an electromyographic device.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Using electromyography, you can determine the quality of the manipulation: which areas were exposed to botulinum toxin. Based on the results of the study, the doctor recognizes the intact areas that were not exposed to the drug.

Application areas:

• To reduce the activity of the muscle responsible for widening the wings of the nose, 1-2 units. the drug is injected into points above them at the base of the nasal bone.
• For narrowing, it is injected into the wings and tip of the nose.
• To raise the tip and make it shorter, the product is injected into the columella - the area where the organ transitions into the upper lip. Two injections into symmetrically located points will block the muscles that provide lifting of the lip and wings. The shape is changed by adjusting the nasolabial angle.
• To lower the tip, injections are performed over the entire surface of the back.
• Injection into the bridge of the nose will relieve expression and age wrinkles. Small creases can be removed easily; use up to 10 units of the drug. Deeper folds are not always smoothed out completely.

Reduction of the wings of the nose without surgery

There are techniques that allow you to correct and reduce the wings of the nose without radical intervention by a plastic surgeon. These are injection, non-injection, thread techniques that can help solve the problem. But they are not suitable in all cases and not for all patients. Therefore, before the intervention, it is necessary to consult a cosmetologist and carry out any manipulations only in a licensed clinic, where specialists have the necessary equipment, experience and qualifications to perform this type of procedure.

One method is to reduce the wings of the nose with Botox. The essence of the technique is the injection of botulinum toxin into certain points on the nose, which allows you to paralyze the nerve endings and relax certain muscle groups. In some patients, this may help change or reduce the shape, size of the nostrils, the tip of the nose, or eliminate asymmetry. But this technique is not suitable for all cases. In addition, the effect of Botox is short-lived, and injections must be repeated after 6-12 months.

Is it possible to reduce the wings of the nose with hormone injections? This is another important question for the doctor. Such techniques exist; they are minimally invasive, but they are practiced infrequently, only by experienced doctors and in isolated cases. During the correction, a targeted injection of hormonal steroid drugs is carried out, which partially dissolve the cartilage tissue, reducing the volume. The technique has a number of side effects and complications, which will then have to be corrected by a plastic surgeon, and the effectiveness against the background of risks is unreasonably low.

It is possible to non-surgically reduce the wings of the nose by adjusting the dorsum or tip through the introduction of fillers. Compared to the enlargement of other parts of the nose, the wings look more harmonious. The technique is also not suitable for everyone; it requires experience and excellent knowledge of anatomy in order to achieve the most harmonious results. In addition, fillers remain in tissues for up to a year, then they need to be reintroduced.

Advantages and disadvantages

Botox in the nose is a serious procedure; before administering the injection, it is important to familiarize yourself with all the features of the technique.

Advantages:

• when used correctly, the drug is safe;
• the drug is easily excreted from the body;
• there is no long rehabilitation period.

Flaws:

• an incorrectly calculated dosage can result in a complete lack of effect;
• complications often occur;
• the need to regularly maintain results;
• Working with the drug requires an experienced cosmetologist.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

When administered into the subcutaneous tissue, that is, past the muscle tissue, the drug has no effect, since it blocks neuromuscular transmission at the tips of the nerves approaching the muscles. If Botox doesn't get into the muscle, unfortunately, it doesn't block anything.

Botox in the nose

Unpleasant appearance and constant frustration are caused by incorrect placement of the nose and facial contours. But the problem is solvable, since technology corrects any imperfections with Botox in the nose. Any changes after Botox administration are excluded, but are possible:

• Raising the tip;
• Narrowing of the nostrils;
• Lower part of the nose between the eyebrows.

Using Botox, you can slightly change the shape of individual areas. Botulinum therapy additionally helps to correct the ability to actively move the nostrils, but not always. The correction is carried out by cosmetologists. The total number of injected Botox for complex correction does not exceed 10-15.

What drugs are used

Carrying out the procedure

Nose correction with Botox takes place under sterile conditions by a qualified cosmetologist.

Before the procedure, the specialist must ensure that there are no contraindications, examine the medical history and examine the patient.

The injections are usually painless, but numbing may be given if desired. Most often, the skin is cooled or EMLA cream is applied first.

The solution is prepared immediately before administration. Sodium chloride (9%) is added to the bottle with botulinum toxin. The dose is determined individually depending on the condition of the dermis, the number of defects, and the individual characteristics of the body.

After disinfection and drying of the skin, the drug is injected with a microneedle.

The duration of the procedure is determined by the number of points and the volume of Botox. Usually takes about 30 minutes. Next, the doctor monitors the patient’s condition and makes recommendations.

Effect duration

Depending on the drug, the first results can be seen within a few hours or days. The maximum effect is achieved after two weeks or a month. Then it weakens and gradually regresses.

Complete restoration of neuromuscular connections occurs after six months - the effect of the toxin disappears and the anatomical features take on a natural shape.

How to raise the tip of the nose?

Botox helps improve your appearance without surgery. Anyone can have a nose job. The drug is injected into the muscle where nasolabial wrinkles are smoothed out. The dose is selected keeping in mind the patient's age, benefits, zones and overall health.

• The face is cleaned with alcohol-containing disinfectants.
• The cosmetologist punctures the areas, uses only sterile needles and gradually injects them under the skin. To effectively administer botulinum toxin injections, the areas are pre-kneaded.
• The skin surface is re-exposed to an antiseptic.

Rhinoplasty will help radically reduce the wings of the nose

If the defect is severe, an operation aimed at reducing the wings of the nose will help eliminate the problem completely. Rhinoplasty is performed in plastic surgery clinics or ENT hospitals by experienced doctors with extensive knowledge of anatomy and maxillofacial surgery. This operation, which seems simple to patients, is in reality one of the most complex among all aesthetic interventions. In addition to the fact that it is necessary to achieve the maximum expected and predictable results, it is necessary to fully preserve the functionality of the organ - pneumatic, protective and olfactory.

During the operation, the doctor peels away the skin from the underlying tissue, resects the excess areas, creates a new shape and size of the wings, again covering the tissue with skin.
Sutures are placed inside the nasal concha so that they are not visible from the outside. But the patient will be able to enjoy the final result in a couple of months, when the swelling goes away and the tissues damaged during the intervention heal. Full recovery takes up to one year. But the result, if the intervention is performed correctly, will be exactly what the patient expected. Information materials on the site are posted for informational purposes, not self-medication.
