Many Asians, especially those of chinese descendants have flat and short nose. It does not help that we are reading on the papers that celebrity so and so had a job nose (also known as rhinoplasty), which further define their already pretty features.
However, many stop right outside the doctor’s office and continue with the ‘how I wish I have a sharper nose’ dream. Many get cold feet after reading of blotched jobs, post-operative bruising and pain, etc. There are also others, who are more daring but hesitate and continue to dream of the sharper nose, because they can’t decide on the shape of nose they would like.
Temporary nose fillers may be a solution for you! It is a non-surgical nose job whereby (immediate) improvement to the shape of your nose can be obtained faster than the traditional surgical rhinoplasty. In addition, it is less painful and healing time is faster.
The non surgical nose filler procedure is usually swift. About 5 minutes is all that is required for the doctor to inject the fillers into the nose for it to look more contoured and shapely, thereby enhancing your facial features.
So, what exactly is temporary nose filler and is it safe? Fillers are generally considered very safe and will be absorbed by the body overtime. This also means that if you decide that you do not like the shape of your newly augmented nose , there is a recourse, without the need to undergo another surgery (which will mean potential scarring and risk of infections and complications because the surgeon will need to cut areas around your nose to reinstate the look of your nose).
There are many types and brands of fillers available, such as Restylane and Juvederm, which are made of hyaluronic acid, Radiesse which is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite, etc. If hypersensitivity (allergic reactions) is a concern, hyaluronic acid based fillers are a good choice, as they can be dissolved with an enzyme known as Hyluronidase. If hypersensitivity reaction happens, your doctor can inject Hyluronidase to dissolve the hyaluronic acid fillers.
Which brand or kind of fillers should one choose and which will produce the best results?
Choice on the brand of fillers should be determined by your doctor, after an evaluation of your medical history. All brands and kind of fillers should produce similar result in the hands of the same doctor. Good results from the fillers are derived from the injection technique used. It is therefore of importance that you have your nose fillers done with an experienced doctor and well, referrals from people who had the procedure with that doctor is the best way to find that doctor.
