Nose Aesthetics with Injections | Key Types and Techniques Used

The nose holds a special aesthetic significance for both women and men, as it is located at the center of the face and is considered one of the most important beauty standards. Rhinoplasty is the most common and widespread cosmetic procedure worldwide. Many people undergo it for cosmetic reasons, and recently, rhinoplasty techniques have greatly advanced, including nose shaping with needles.

Follow this article to learn about how nose shaping with needles works and the techniques used to ensure the procedure’s success.

Why do people opt for non-surgical nose cosmetic procedures?

• Many people choose non-surgical methods due to fear of general anesthesia and its complications, as well as pain after surgery.
• Non-surgical nose cosmetic procedures, including needle-based nose shaping, have become popular especially among women who need such options.
• Needle nose shaping procedures are characterized by not requiring surgery, being quick to perform, and not requiring the patient to stay in the hospital for more than a day.

Who are candidates for needle nose cosmetic procedures in Turkey?

• The patient should be at least 18 years old.
• The skin around the nose must be flexible to accept the needle injection.
• Uneven size of the external nose or presence of fat on the outer nasal skin can be removed.
• A slight deviation on one side of the nose that can be corrected by needles.
• The patient’s overall health should be good, especially the skin and nose.
• Cases with nasal deformities or scars due to genetic causes or accidents.

How are nose cosmetic procedures with needles performed?

• The doctor determines the shape of the nose according to the desired aesthetic standards.
• Based on that, the doctor identifies the procedure needed to modify the specific area.
• Some cases require cosmetic treatment using needles.
• Through the needles, the thin skin surrounding the nose, through which the nasal bones protrude annoyingly, is filled.
• These areas are also injected with some substances similar in composition to skin, resembling a gel or jelly.
• The injections also contain some materials that are part of the bone structure. This helps achieve the ideal desired shape and conceal any external deformities.
• Usually, this technique is performed once, but some cases may require more than one session.
• The number of sessions will be determined during the patient’s first visit to the doctor’s clinic.

How to prepare for needle nose cosmetic procedures in Turkey?

• The face and nose are fully examined to ensure they are in good health.
• If any skin infections or inflammations appear, they must be treated before the procedure.
• You should drink plenty of fluids and take good care of your skin before the procedure, including thoroughly cleansing it.
• If you are taking medications for other conditions, you should discuss this with your doctor.
• Some medications should be stopped, such as:
  • Anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • Aspirin.
  • Blood thinners that increase the risk of bleeding or delay healing.
  • You should quit alcohol and smoking at least two weeks before the procedure.

What is nose reduction with needles?

The process of nose reduction and slimming with needles involves two main types:

1. Injection of fat-dissolving substances into the nose to reduce its size.
2. Acupuncture to reduce and slim the nose.

First: Injection of fat dissolvers into the nose to reduce it

• The nose mainly consists of cartilage with a thin layer of muscles and a layer of skin.
• Fat accumulates in the layer just beneath the skin, which increases skin thickness and distorts the appearance of the nose.
• In such cases, patients resort to fat-dissolving injections to eliminate some of the fat beneath the skin, which thins the skin and adds a special beauty to the nose.
• The needles are suitable for treating increased skin thickness and fat accumulation under the skin only in the nose area.
• They are not suitable for treating deformities in the shape of the nose or for reducing the size of the nasal cartilage.

Side effects of fat dissolvers

1. Uneven sides of the nose after injection.
2. Excessive thinning of the skin in the nose area.
3. Exposure of the area to inflammation and bruising after injection.
4. Appearance of some swelling in the nose area.

Results of Nose Fat-Dissolving Needle Injections

• Results appear approximately 4 days after the injection procedure.
• The nose fat-dissolving injection gives quick results.
• The results do not last long, approximately 4 months.
• Fat begins to accumulate again, and the procedure needs to be repeated.

Second: Acupuncture

The doctor performs this procedure after determining the following factors:

1. The shape of the cartilage.
2. The effect of the muscles on the nasal cartilage.
3. The thickness of the nasal skin and the fat accumulation underneath it.

How does it work?

• Acupuncture needles, after being inserted into the nose area, cause a mild inflammation that reshapes the cartilage.
• The needle pricking affects the tension of the muscles around the nasal cartilage, as well as the thickness of the skin and fat accumulation under the skin layer covering the nose.
• Through pricking in certain areas, the nose can be reduced in size.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Nose Reduction with Needles

Of course, there are many advantages to nose slimming needles, including:

1. Avoiding surgery and the risks of general anesthesia.
2. Lower cost compared to surgical operations, especially when adding recovery period costs to the cost of surgical rhinoplasty in Turkey.
3. The procedure is almost painless and takes less than ten minutes, unlike surgeries which take longer.
4. No need for a recovery period, and you can return immediately to normal life without obstacles.
5. This procedure can treat most cases of external nose deformities, and can also be done for those who have undergone surgical nose reduction and still want to make minor adjustments to their nose shape.
6. It can treat cases of increased skin thickness and fat accumulation under the nasal skin, which is often not addressed in surgical operations.

Risks of Nose Cosmetic Procedures with Needles

The patient may face several risks after nose cosmetic procedures with needles, including:

1. The procedure is not suitable for treating internal deformities or functional deformities of the nose.
2. It is not suitable for significantly reducing the nose size compared to its original size.
3. Asymmetry may appear if the patient has an unexpected reaction or if the procedure is done by an inexperienced doctor.
4. The results are temporary, and reinjection is done within a period ranging from six months to a year.
