It is the application of changing the shape of the nose without surgery by filling it. The nose is reshaped by filling certain areas on the nose. It was not possible to get results with filling in every nose.
The procedure consists of filling the nasal tissue, applying an anesthetic cream, which is usually applied for 20-30 minutes, and then injecting it into the areas determined by the surgeon and the patient, thus providing an aesthetic improvement.
Nasal filling aesthetics offers many advantages to patients. First, it is a good option for many patients who do not want to have surgery or are considering surgery but have not yet made up their minds.
Secondly, touch-ups are very easy to perform because it only takes a simple injection to add a small amount of filler to a particular area. With these features, the nose can be “shaped” until the desired result is achieved with injections.
And thirdly, nasal filling is much more economical compared to surgical techniques.
The main disadvantage of nasal fillings is that the result is not permanent and it is not possible to apply it to every nose.
The injection usually takes 5-10 minutes and is performed in a clinical setting.
