Abstract
As the demand for noninvasive alternatives to cosmetic procedures continues to increase, the nonsurgical rhinoplasty represents an exciting frontier for both physicians and patients alike. Being one of the most recent additions to the injectable repertoire, the “nonsurgical nose job” offers a quick, minimally invasive, financially feasible option for those seeking aesthetic change. While temporary, this revolutionary method can be used for patients who are not emotionally, medically, or economically prepared for surgery or those who would like a “trial run” prior to an operation. It is also a good option to address some concerns regarding postsurgical rhinoplasty complications. Using a calcium hydroxylapatite gel (Radiesse, Bioform Inc., San Mateo, CA), the provider injects into the subcutaneous tissues or superperiosteal plane after the application of a topical numbing agent. The substance can then be used to mold the nose: heightening or creating a bridge, raising the tip, correcting asymmetries, and disguising bumps, dents, deviations, or other irregularities.
