The Exciting Alternative to Traditional, Invasive Rhinoplasty
Injection Rhinoplasty, the Non-surgical Nose Job
Dr. Richard Buckley of MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology announces a new 30-minute, non-invasive procedure for dramatically improving nasal bumps, indentations, drooping nasal tips, or actually changing the shape of the bridge of the nose—all without the pain, bruising, and downtime associated with recovery from traditional rhinoplasty surgery. “With the availability of new, injectible soft tissue augmentation materials, we can now offer the perfect alternative to invasive, unpredictable nasal surgery. You can see the results immediately,” states the Milford, Pa. cosmetic surgeon.
The non-surgical treatment involves a simple in-office procedure. A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the top of the nose. After approximately 10 minutes, a small amount of filler material (e.g. Radiesse®, Restylane®, Hylaform®) is carefully injected into precise locations on the nose. At various points in the procedure, the patient can be given a hand-held mirror so that he or she may view the results and can direct the physician’s attention to any areas for additional correction. Most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately following the treatment.
