Nasal filling has become one of the most requested aesthetic interventions recently. Although the arrival of summer was obvious from spring. Rhinoplasty (nose aesthetic surgery) has been the most performed plastic surgery in our country for a long time. In these days when the wind of non-surgical aesthetics blows the hardest, it would not be expected that nose aesthetics would not have its share of non-surgical interventions! Here are the most important issues you need to know about nose filler application:
1. You should know exactly what is meant by “filler”.
“Filler” is the “general” name for the substances injected into the human body to add volume. There are many different types of fillers in medical use that are approved for injection into the human body. By far the most commonly used of these is a type of sugar jelly found naturally in human joints called "Hyaluronic Acid (HA)". Apart from HA, many different substances such as collagen, polyglactin/polylactate, calcium hydroxyapatite are in medical use. There are also many different substances that are not for medical use and are made under the stairs, from olive oil to petroleum jelly, from window silicone to hair gel.
Even the HA fillers we most commonly use have hundreds of different types. Each filling has different hardness, fluidity, permanence and chemical bond properties. In other words, you cannot buy any filler containing HA from the best filler brand and apply it to the nose. Therefore, be sure to take and keep a copy of the barcoded ID card of the filler to be injected into your nose.
2. Nose filler application is F.D.A. It has not been approved by.
In order for any substance to be used for medical purposes, FDA, European Standards Institute, T.R. It needs to be examined in detail by competent authorities such as the Ministry of Health, approved and inspected after it is put on the market. We can say that the more institutions approve it, the safer a drug or medical device is. It is useful to know that the American FDA has not yet allowed any filler to be injected into the nose. Isn't nose filling done in the USA? Of course, it is done. However, this is called "off label", that is, "not on the label" usage. If you experience any complications, you can't go back and say wow, I didn't know, I didn't hear about it. On the other hand b According to the data in our imaging literature, application under the skin of the nose seems to have a risk profile similar to applications on other parts of the face.
3. Make sure that you are the ideal patient for nose filling.
We can say that the ideal patient for nose filling is individuals whose nose bridge starts from the lower part of the nose, rather than from the junction of the forehead and nose. In this type of nose, since the upper part of the nose where the back of the nose meets the forehead is structurally low, the other parts appear to be too high and arched. Raising the low nasal dorsum with filler can eliminate the arched appearance and create the illusion of a straighter nasal dorsum.
4. It is a fast, effective and short-term medical procedure.
In the ideal patient group, the procedure takes 5-10 minutes and is minimally painful. You can return to social life immediately after the procedure. The improvement is visible instantly. After the procedure, it is not preferred for glasses to put pressure on the area where the filling is applied. For the first 4-5 days after the application, the application area may appear more swollen than the final state, depending on the edema, and the final state appears on average around 14 days. Typically at this point additional doses and touch-ups may be made if deemed necessary.
5. Make sure that the physician who will perform the procedure is an expert in rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty is a whole. It is very important that the person evaluating the patient for rhinoplasty has experience in surgeries as well as non-surgical procedures. Only a physician experienced in both fields can explain you the options accurately and impartially. Anyone who has a medical degree and can take a needle can apply nose filler in Turkey. You won't lose anything if the hand holding the needle has performed a few hundred nose surgeries.
6. Filling will enlarge your nose.
As the name suggests, filling will fill your nose, that is, make it bigger. When many patients say they want a nose filler, they imagine that the nose will take shape before it grows. My observation is that Turkish patients desire smaller noses more and do not tolerate the increase in volume in the nose very well. Therefore, you will enjoy having a larger nose after the application. It is useful to think a little about whether it will go away.
7. We can achieve “soft contours” with filler.
Fillers have to be soft enough to flow through a syringe. Unfortunately, it is not possible to achieve hard contours and angles with such a physically soft material. In some areas of nose aesthetics, the cartilage structure's angulation of the surface skin, sharp lines and "definition" are very important from an aesthetic point of view. For this reason, when applying filler to the tip of the nose, it is useful to be careful not to lose the folds that give character to the tip of the nose.
8. Minor roughnesses that occur after surgery can be camouflaged with filler.
Filling can be applied to eliminate some minor roughnesses that appear after rhinoplasty surgery and are not worth another surgery. The most common application areas can be listed as eliminating millimetric level differences between the wings, camouflaging point depressions or bone fracture lines on the back of the nose.
9. You can postpone revision surgery for a while with filler application.
Let's say you had an unsuccessful nose surgery and you are not satisfied with the result, but you are not ready for another surgery. In this case, the nose contour can be corrected temporarily with filler and you can be more comfortable psychologically and socially during the period until the revision surgery.
10. The effect of the filler is temporary.
Do not approach permanent filling materials (silicone, etc.) in the nose. Most of the filling materials used will be absorbed by the body within the first year and their effects will disappear. Therefore, it is useful to consider that the process will need to be repeated after 1 year and every year to maintain the result. After one or two applications, most patients wonder "how long will this continue?" and turn to rhinoplasty surgery, which is a more permanent solution.
11. Nasal filling application has serious complications.
Nasal filling is a medical intervention and, like all medical interventions, it has some unique complications. The most important complications in the nose are skin loss and scarring. Fortunately, these serious complications are very rare.
12. Nasal filler does not replace rhinoplasty surgery.
Nasal filler does not replace a well-performed rhinoplasty. Filling application has almost no permanent effect on nasal breathing function. Compared to what can be achieved with rhinoplasty, what can be achieved with fillers is very limited. Just because a patient who needs rhinoplasty is afraid of surgery does not make him a good candidate for nose filler. Similarly, obtaining a temporarily pleasing shape in the nose with nose filling does not change the fact that nose surgery is still the most reasonable option in the long term.
