Can hyaluronic acid be injected into the tip of the nose?

Loving beauty is every woman's nature. In this appearance-oriented society, beautiful people will be more popular and receive better treatment. Therefore, many women go to beauty salons for adjustment surgeries in order to make their faces more beautiful. Such as: double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, rhinoplasty, hyaluronic acid injection, bone shaving, lip smile, eyebrow tattooing, laser surgery, etc. This article will briefly introduce hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty.

Hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose by injecting hyaluronic acid to achieve the rhinoplasty effect.

Hyaluronic acid principle

Hyaluronic acid, also known as uronic acid and hyaluronic acid, is also called hyaluronic acid in medical books. It is a straight-chain high-molecular polysaccharide composed of disaccharide units. It is a substance that exists naturally in tissues and is also one of the components of human dermis tissue. Hyaluronic acid injection is the process of injecting hyaluronic acid as a filler into the dermis wrinkles, depressions or areas that need to be plumped up, such as the lips, cheeks, nose bridge, chin, scars, etc., which can achieve the effect of immediate wrinkle removal and changing appearance. In the past, collagen was used as the structure in the dermis. If we use the analogy of building a house with reinforced concrete, collagen is like the steel frame, and hyaluronic acid is like the cement poured in after the steel bars are built. The expansion effect of hyaluronic acid prevents the steel frame from collapsing. However, the injected hyaluronic acid will be slowly absorbed by the human body, so if you want to maintain the effect, intermittent injections are required. Once regular injections are no longer continued, the effects will gradually fade and eventually disappear completely.

Treatment Process

The most important thing is to discuss with the doctor in advance the area to be injected and the shape you want to create. If necessary, you must sign a consent form and take photos before and after the operation for comparison. During treatment, the area will be cleaned and disinfected first, anesthetic will be applied and pressed with plastic film, and the injection will be performed only after the anesthetic effect is ensured.

The validity period depends on individual circumstances, and the therapeutic effect can last for about 6 months to 1 year. In order to make hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty effective for a longer period of time, we recommend two to three injections of hyaluronic acid. In order to achieve the best and longer-lasting results, do not expose the treated area to extreme heat, such as sunbathing or sun exposure, or extreme cold after surgery. Avoid contact with the injection area for 6 hours after surgery. During this time, gentle cleansing with water and soap can be used, and light makeup removal is permitted. Side effects: Hyaluronic acid injection may cause temporary slight redness, swelling, and itching, but these discomforts usually disappear after a few days. Hyaluronic acid has fewer side effects. It is not a protein, so the chance of causing an allergic reaction is much less. It is also easily decomposed by the human body, so it has fewer long-term side effects on the human body. Safety: Hyaluronic acid injection is very safe to use, and the chance of allergy is very low. Generally speaking, there is no need to do a skin sensitivity test first. However, there are still some complications that deserve our attention, such as arterial embolism, fibrosis and granulation tissue formation, local redness, swelling and pain, local hematoma and even infection, patient anxiety and foreign body sensation, etc.

shortcoming

(1) The disadvantage of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is that right after the procedure, the skin will feel granular, which will disappear after about 3 days. After hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty, temporary slight redness, swelling, and itching may occur, which usually disappear after a few days. These are also the basic symptoms of all surgeries before and after rhinoplasty.

(2) Generally, hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty can last for about 6-12 months. It is not a very long time. It is recommended to inject the second injection within 4-8 months after the first injection of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty, otherwise it will return to its previous appearance after absorption. Because hyaluronic acid is a component of human tissue, it will be slowly absorbed; and hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty can be injected a second time for continuous improvement. It seems that the original disadvantage of hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty has also become a potential advantage.

(3) For simple raised nasal root, hyaluronic acid injection may have a certain effect, and hyaluronic acid is absorbed after rhinoplasty. However, for more complex nasal shape modification, it is definitely not possible without shaping of autologous cartilage or prosthesis.
