Rhinoplasty: correction of a nasal hump
Dr Arie Azuelos' blog in Paris
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures for improving the appearance of the nose and harmonising facial features. Dr Arié Azuelos specialises in this procedure, which offers results that are both natural and aesthetically pleasing. Some cases, such as the correction of a nasal hump, do not necessarily require surgery, as it is also possible to correct it with a medical rhinoplasty procedure.
Surgical rhinoplasty
Definition and technique
Surgical rhinoplasty involves physical changes to the bone and cartilage structure of the nose. It is performed under general anaesthetic. Dr Arié Azuelos uses internal incisions to access and reshape the nose, smoothing out the hump and redefining the nasal silhouette.
Surgical rhinoplasty: for whom?
The ideal candidates for surgical rhinoplasty are people with notable imperfections, such as a significant hump or structural problems that affect their breathing. Surgical rhinoplasty is more suitable for permanent and substantial changes.
The benefits of surgical rhinoplasty
- Permanent and transformational results
- Complex problems can be treated, including the functionality of the nose
- A single operation may be sufficient for permanent corrections
Limitations
- Longer recovery time, generally several weeks
- Associated surgical risks
- Higher cost
- Need for hospitalisation
Medical rhinoplasty
Definition and technique
Medical rhinoplasty is a non-surgical alternative that uses fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, to subtly modify the shape of the nose. This technique is ideal for minor corrections and offers temporary results with no significant downtime.
Medical rhinoplasty: who is it for?
This method is particularly suitable for people who want minor aesthetic adjustments or who want to test a new nasal look before committing to permanent surgery. It is also recommended for people who are reluctant to undergo surgery or who do not have enough time for a long recovery period.
The advantages of medical rhinoplasty
- Rapid operation with little or no recovery time
- Fewer risks than surgery
- Lower costRe
- versible procedure
Limitations
- Temporary results, requiring periodic touch-ups
- Limited to modest corrections, unable to make radical changes or correct breathing problems
Surgical or medical rhinoplasty: comparison and choice
Choice of method
The choice between surgical and medical rhinoplasty depends on several factors:
- The extent of the correction required: for major changes, surgery is often unavoidable.
- Tolerance to risk and recovery time: if you prefer to avoid the risk and recovery associated with surgery, medical rhinoplasty may be a viable option.
- Budget: surgery is more expensive but offers longer-lasting results.
