A perfectly-shaped nose is always a feature many clamour for. However, until recent times, if one desired to alter the shape, the sole means was the discomforting, complex and unpredictable choice of surgical nose job involving getting anesthetized, hospitalization, broken bones, immense pain, bruises and at times also getting scars.

Also nose surgery is something that couldn’t be done furtively – with the widely apparent plaster cast, raccoon eyes and dressing speaking volumes of the procedure conducted. However, there is a new-fangled means of correcting nature’s flaws. The undesirable bent in the nose could be made to appear straighter, bumps could be evened out and the flaring up of the nostrils could be reduced.

Dubbed the ‘non-surgical nose-job’, could offer all this in merely twenty minutes and a few jabs. The procedure originated in Brazil but has been carried out for some years in the United States and just lately in Britain.

LA surgeon, Dr. Alexander Rivkin is a specialist in the non-surgical nose-job, and has even concocted the term. Since the last 6 years, Dr. Rivkin has conducted more than one thousand procedures and is presently doing nearly ten of them in just a week.

He vouches by the efficacy of this procedure that disguises bumps and raises the bridge in people with flat appearing noses. He explicated the procedure wherein filler is injected to make it appear smaller than usual by correcting irregularities and would make bumps and hooked appearance of the nose seem straighter.

There is bound to be imminent rise in the demand for this procedure as nose-jobs are among the highly popular cosmetic surgeries carried out globally, though they have the maximum rate of unsatisfied customers.

Dr.Rivkin stated that injectable fillers offer greater degree of precision as the procedure could be reversed by a simple disbanding or dissolving of the impermanent fillers or if needed more could be added.

Dr. Rivkin points out that nearly half the patients who come to him have already done nose-jobs and need to correct them in spite of that. These disgruntled patients do not want to undergo any further surgery and would not like to become Michael Jackson.

This procedure promises to make the scooped appearance of the nose less apparent and make flared nostrils appear narrower. The filler employed during the procedure is a hyaluronic acid-derived jab that provides incredible results that lasts for 2 years.

The procedure is quite nippy and could cause some extent of pain and discomfort. The filler injections are administered into the nose in three locations namely the bridge and the other two on either sides of the nose for correcting unevenness. In order to narrow the bridge of the nose and straighten the shape, the doctor would then skilfully mould the filler, much alike putty sensed subcutaneously.

After this, botox injections are given, one on each of the nostrils that could be quite hurtful. Post-procedure there might be some puffiness; however, the best part is the absence of any bruises or visible jab marks.

After 4-5 days the nose would appear straighter than usual, reduced flare-up of nostrils and the bridge of the nose would definitely appear nicer than before.

The non-surgical nose-job is the idyllic choice for those who don’t wish to opt for surgery. The best part about this procedure is the commendable outcome.
