Rhinoplasty - Non-surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a medical procedure in which injectable fillers, such as collagen, are used to alter and shape a person's nose without invasive surgery. The procedure fills in depressed areas on the nose, lifting the angle of the tip or smoothing the appearance of bumps on the bridge. The procedure does not alter nose size, though it can be used to correct some functional birth defects.

Originally developed at the turn of the century, early attempts used biologically harmful soft-tissue fillers such as paraffin wax and silicone. After 2000, physicians such as Alexander Rivkin and Andrew Tuan-Anh Le successfully developed benign techniques using modern fillers.
