Your expectations

I am having rhinoplasty because I want to:

Covering up a bump on my nose
No more drooping nose
Correcting a slight asymmetry of the nose
Adding volume to my too flat nasal bridge
Get a small dimple on the tip of the nose

Rhinoplasty is a procedure that makes your nose more aesthetic and in harmony with your entire face.

Introduction to Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty can be, depending on the indications, a medical or surgical procedure. Medical rhinoplasty corrects nose defects by injecting a resorbable product: hyaluronic acid . Unlike nose surgery, medical rhinoplasty provides a result that will fade after 12 months. For a patient who is afraid of surgery or who does not want a permanent transformation of the nose, rhinoplasty by injection of hyaluronic acid is the most attractive formula.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural, effective and safe filler used daily in aesthetic medicine. It can correct notches or bumps in the nose. To limit the action of certain muscles that interfere with the appearance of the nose, your cosmetic doctor may also use botulinum toxin injections .

The products used are all resorbable over time, meaning that the body breaks them down spontaneously over several months. This is a guarantee of safety.

By calling on the Croix d'Or clinic , a specialist in Swiss aesthetic medicine, you benefit from the best specialists to support you in your aesthetic project. Do not hesitate to contact us to make an appointment.

Regarding surgical rhinoplasty, this is a more complex technique, under general anesthesia, allowing a more definitive correction of certain defects (bumps, deviation of the nasal septum, poorly positioned cartilage, etc.).

Areas treated by Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a medical procedure that involves reshaping the nose or, more precisely, correcting the shape of your nose.

The area treated is your nose, both inside and out, for a functional and aesthetic appearance.

Rhinoplasty procedure

Before the intervention

The first consultation is essential, because it allows us to clarify the patient's expectations and to discuss the treatment plan in concrete terms.

The doctor will analyze your face and explain the different treatment options. Together, the patient and the doctor will develop a tailored treatment plan.

The day of the intervention

First, the doctor will make sure that the patient is comfortably seated and will check for any contraindications to the procedure. After an initial step of makeup removal and skin disinfection, the procedure can begin. For medical rhinoplasty, the doctor uses a product based on hyaluronic acid combined with a local anesthetic.

The injection is always done in the median axis of the nose, via a needle or a specific cannula, for greater comfort and safety. The duration of the session is around 15 to 20 minutes.

Hyaluronic acid injected into the nose lasts on average 12 months before being completely absorbed by the body.

The patient is always reassessed 15 days after the procedure to ensure that the result is satisfactory. In all cases, treatment and follow-up are always personalized .

For surgical rhinoplasty, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia, in the operating room by conventional surgery according to the treatment plan chosen beforehand.

Side Effects of Medical Rhinoplasty

The sequels are relatively simple.

Bruising may occur and persist for a few days, however it is easily concealed with makeup.
The nose injection can be sensitive, which is why hyaluronic acid is combined with an anesthetic. Thus, it is more of a limited discomfort, not requiring prior local anesthesia.

NB: In exceptional cases, product allergies, skin necrosis and vascular compressions or emboli have been observed. These problems are often related to poor injection techniques and the use of inappropriate products.
