Nose reshaping by injection is very popular in Asian countries because of its non-invasive nature and high adaptability in creating minor changes. Filler and enzyme can be used to straighten the nasal bridge, correct a dorsal hump, correct a deviated nose and correct an asymmetric lateral wall. The person performing the injection must accurately identify the nose's cosmetic flaws and know the anatomy of the nose well, so that they can inject at the right level and position and prevent potentially serious complications.
Surgery is not the only way to enhance the nose; there are other alternative methods that have fewer complications and are performed on an outpatient basis. Among the most common of these are filler injection to correct the nose and enzyme injection. Both are suitable for shaping the nose. In this article, by examining the difference between enzyme injection and nose filler, we will look at how each is performed and examine their effects in full. We will also state the advantages and the longevity of each.
Making the nose smaller with enzyme injection
Compared with rhinoplasty, enzyme injection is a lower-cost alternative with minimal downtime that has received a lot of attention these days. Given that the nose is the focal point of the face, it is the first factor noticed when one person first meets another, and it has a very great impact on the aesthetics of the face. With this in mind, if you feel that your nose looks fleshy and disproportionate to your face, and you also cannot accept the risk of going under the plastic surgeon's knife, enzyme injection can be a good option for relatively reducing the volume of your nose.
Steps of making the nose smaller with enzyme
The most common use of enzyme injection is making the nose smaller. The amount, the number of injections and the method are also determined by the doctor's judgment in the consultation session. The procedure is as follows: first the target area is disinfected; then the dose of enzyme specified by the doctor is injected into the designated areas. Depending on the person's condition and the expected result, this process will be carried out over 2 to 6 sessions. The time needed between sessions will be 1 to 2 weeks.
This method leaves a permanent result on the nose, except in very few cases where, due to factors such as obesity, the nose returns to its original shape. In this situation, it is possible to return to the original condition again with one re-injection session.
Who is making the nose smaller with enzyme more suitable for?
Because nose shapes differ and tastes differ, cosmetic methods will also differ. Enzyme injection is suitable as a cosmetic method for correcting fleshy noses. The enzyme helps the nose contract and become smaller. This method is very effective for people who have a fleshy nose. Clients who have a bony nose should have a consultation with an aesthetic doctor before having this technique. In general, this method can be suitable for the following:
- Eliminating a bump on the nose
- Making the nose smaller
- Lifting the nasal tip
- Making the nose symmetrical
- Reducing the size of the nostrils
How nose enzyme is injected
The usual substance used in the enzyme injection method is the hyaluronidase enzyme. The aesthetic specialist may also decide to use other substances such as calcium apatite. The number of sessions needed in this method can vary depending on the opinion of the aesthetic specialist doctor. Doctors generally consider one to six sessions for nose enzyme injection. Therefore, the aesthetic specialist can determine the exact number of sessions and the time between sessions in the consultation session.
In this method, the specialist first disinfects the target area with suitable substances and then performs the necessary injections. In some cases, using local anesthetic drugs so as not to feel pain can be useful.
Side effects of nose enzyme injection
Since the enzymes used in this method are completely compatible with the body, no particular side effects have been reported for this method, and it is considered a completely safe method. In very rare cases, some people have reported temporary allergic reactions, which fortunately were temporary and resolved after one to two days.
To prevent any side effects and risks, be very careful in choosing your doctor. This is because the major share of reported injuries has been due to the doctor's lack of sufficient expertise. A non-specialist doctor with improper injections can even cause wounds in the target area.
Longevity and aftercare of nose enzyme injection
According to our several years of experience, the enzyme injection method for making the nose smaller may last for several years. Factors that may reduce the longevity of this method are pregnancy and excessive obesity. Fortunately, this problem can be resolved by returning to the aesthetic clinic and having enzyme injection again, but with fewer sessions.
After nose enzyme injection, it is necessary to consider some essential measures, which are:
- Avoid touching your nose for a few days.
- Using nose tape is necessary for the period the doctor determines.
- Avoid washing your face for one day.
- Attend the sessions scheduled for you regularly.
What is nose filler injection?
Nose filler injection is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that temporarily changes the shape of the nose using dermal fillers.
How nose filler is injected
Nose filler is a practical method for correcting the shape of the nose. In this method, gel is injected into different areas such as the bridge and tip of the nose, which straightens the nasal bridge and lifts the tip. To correct a nasal hump, Style filler injection can be used. This filler adds volume around the areas that have a bulge, which as a result evens out the bridge and corrects the nasal hump.
In general, nose filler can be used to fix minor flaws in the nose. Among the compounds used in fillers are hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite, which will correct the shape of the nose. One of the new ways to make a fleshy nose smaller is hyaluronidase enzyme injection. Enzyme injection does not need general anesthesia, and local anesthetic is sufficient for the patient's comfort and to relieve pain.
Can nose filler injection replace rhinoplasty?
Compared with traditional plastic surgery, nose filler injection has limitations. For example: with nose filler injection, the nose cannot be made smaller and the results last only up to 18 months. In fact, dermal fillers can temporarily smooth out bumps on your nose and correct certain features. This method is considered one of the best methods in this area.
Nose filler injection may be right for you if you want to:
• Add volume to your nose.
• Lengthen the tip of your nose.
• Smooth lumps or bumps on the nasal bridge.
• Cover a bump on the bridge of your nose.
Nose filler injection is an excellent method for making minor changes to the nose. However, if you are looking for major and long-term changes, traditional plastic surgery may be more suitable for you.
How long does recovery take after nose filler injection?
No rest is needed after nose filler injection. You can resume your normal activities immediately. In special cases, the doctor will also give you specific instructions for managing any side effects.
Longevity of nose filler
Nose filler is a type of temporary cosmetic procedure used for minor flaws. You can see the effect of types of fillers, including Inovosense fillers, on the nose for 9 to 18 months. Also, once the longevity period has passed, you can have the injection again.
These fillers are produced with very high-quality raw materials, so no concern will remain for the person regarding the injected substances and their side effects. In addition, lidocaine is used in their composition to eliminate the feeling of pain and make injection easy. In addition to correcting the shape of the nose, Style filler can also be used to eliminate smile lines and the lines beside the lips.
Advantages of nose filler injection
Bony noses are a good candidate for filler injection. By injecting filler in the areas around the bulge on top of the bridge, depressions are evened out, and as a result the nose appears to have a straight bridge. In addition, for noses that have a drooping tip, nose filler injection can be used to fix this problem.
In general, the advantages of nose-correcting filler can include the following:
- Creating a natural look on the face
- Performed on an outpatient basis without the need for hospitalization
- No need for anesthesia and surgery
- Use of local anesthetic and no feeling of pain
- Nose-correcting filler is done in a short time, about 20 minutes
- No risk and minimal complications
- Possibility of making the tip of the nose more prominent
- Creating symmetry on both sides of the nose
The difference between enzyme injection and nose filler
Enzyme injection and nose filler are both considered cosmetic, non-invasive methods. At the same time, they also have differences from each other. Below, we will state these differences in full:
- Enzyme injection is considered a relatively permanent method, whereas filler injection is a temporary cosmetic method.
- The enzyme injection method is suitable for fleshy noses and mostly has a nose-reducing, contracting effect. Filler, however, is suitable for bony noses, and it is possible to correct superficial humps with it.
- The number of sessions and the substances injected also differ between enzyme and filler.
