The non-surgical procedure can, however, correct imperfections on the nose, making it more balanced and symmetric with the rest of the face. This restores facial harmony and can result in a very pleasing, natural appearance.
But despite its many positives, there are numerous serious risks associated with these procedures. These risks are likely heightened if this complex procedure is performed by an inexperienced injector.
Risks:
• Blindness.
• Necrosis, where the skin dies due to a blocked artery.
• Brain injury, this happens by injecting into an artery.
• Skin problems.
That’s why it’s so important to choose your specialist very carefully.
One of the reasons why non-surgical nose jobs are becoming trendy is because they have minimal pain for most patients. The liquid rhinoplasty is often performed using a combination of numbing cream or numbing injections first, so you’ll feel very little.
The filler or muscle-relaxant is strategically injected in certain areas of the nose, some specialists massage the filler as soon as it has been injected, so as to mould the shape of the nose, but this depends on the techniques used.
