Injection Rhinoplasty
Injection rhinoplasty can give similar results to surgical rhinoplasty in select cases. It certain situations we not only can change the aesthetic appearence but also can help to improve your nasal function.
We only use hyualuronic acid and/or botulinum toxin depending on indication. Any other, permanent product is potential source of a permanent problem. The result remains stable 9 to 18 months for hyualuronic acid and 4 to 8 months for botulinum toxin. It is variable and depends on many different factors, including product type used, the metabolism of the individual and the area injected. Sometimes 2-3 sessions are needed to get it right (with touch-ups).
For each request we offer a functional assessment and a 3D Morphing using the 3D Vectra Camera. For any injection rhinoplasty you are welcome to send us a picture of your nose, on front view and especially the nasal profile before.

Aesthetic Injection Rhinoplasty
In selected cases an injection rhinoplasty can replace aesthetic rhinoplasty giving very similar results to surgical procedure.
The treatment consists principally of injecting a filler product to change the form and the appearence of the nose. We only use hyualuronic acid for this indication. Any other, permanent filler is potential source of a permanent problem.
Many facial muscles also affect nasal appearence. Some of these muscles can be modulated using botulinum toxin to help improve nasal aesthetics and function. This specific treatment is called Neuromodulation.
The result remains stable 9 to 18 months for hyualuronic acid and 4 to 8 months for botulinum toxin. It is variable and depends on many different factors, including product type used, the metabolism of the individual et the area injected. Sometimes 2-3 sessions are needed to get it right (with touch-ups).

Functional Injection Rhinoplasty
In certain situations we can help to improve your nasal function solely with injectables (a.e. stabilize the nasal valves, reproject the nose etc).
The treatment consists of injecting a filler product. We only use hyualuronic acid for this indication. Any other, permanent filler is potential source of a permanent problem.
Also muscles can affect nasal function. Some of these muscles can be modulated using local injection of botulinum toxin to help improve nasal function. This specific treatment is called Neuromodulation.

However, these functional injection rhinoplasties are not reimbursed by your health insurance.

Neuromodulation – Injection with Botulinum Toxin
Many muscles affect nasal appearence and function. Some of these muscles can be modulated using botulinum toxin to help improve nasal aesthetics and/or function.
How is injection rhinoplasty going on
After a thorough discussion of your goals, and a complete exam, you will be given an ice pack to hold against the areas to be injected. Rubbing alcohol will then clean these areas, and a local anesthetic cream will be used to numb the injection sites.
The appropriate amount of filler will then be injected carefully, and molded to achieve the desired result. You will be able to follow the progress, so you are happy with the final amount of product used. Further application of ice will reduce any minimal soreness from the injections.
Local anesthetic will be used whenever necessary.
Patients at our clinic are very surprised at the comfort they experience during the filler injection.
