Non-Surgical Nose Job (Rhinoplasty) Using Radiesse Dermal Filler

Tag Archives: Body Contouring

Rhinoplasty ranks among the top five plastic surgery procedures in the US today. However, many people are still reluctant to choose an invasive nose reshaping procedure. Such people may consider the option of a non-surgical nose job using Radiesse injectable filler.
Board certified plastic surgeons at MBody provide non-surgical rhinoplasty and various other procedures to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding communities.

Advantages

Choosing a non-surgical nose job with Radiesse dermal filler will avoid the typical risks and complications that are associated with any plastic surgery procedure. A filler based nose job can be performed as an in-office procedure using only a local anesthetic, while avoiding the need and costs of a surgery center and general anesthesia.
The pain and discomfort as well as the downtime involved in non-surgical rhinoplasty will be negligible as compared to a surgery. This makes it a procedure of choice for working people and busy moms who are hesitant to choose a surgery with a prolonged recovery period.

Who is a Fabulous Candidate?

Any individual with a fully developed nose who is unhappy with its shape or size, but wants to avoid plastic surgery, may be a fantastic candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty. The treatment provider will usually recommend Radiesse filler based nose reshaping to patients who need to address relatively minor nose imperfections.
People looking to remove or reduce a bump on the nasal bridge, refine the nose tip, or augment the overall nose appearance may benefit from Radiesse filler rhinoplasty. The surgeon will also consider the chin shape, skin type, and other aspects before determining candidacy.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an advanced, FDA approved facial filler that is designed to fill in the aging lines on the face and even help lift and contour multiple areas of the face with a simple, injectable procedure. A single treatment session with Radiesse can produce quick results, and the patient can return to their normal routine immediately after the treatment.
Radiesse filler is made of calcium based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The gel is injected into the deeper layers of the tissue to fill the targeted areas. Results with Radiesse typically last longer than many other cosmetic fillers, and the patient may only require touch up treatments to prolong the benefits.

Customized Treatment

Radiesse filler gel based rhinoplasty may be performed in a customized manner after taking into account the patient’s unique facial anatomy and personal aesthetic goals. The treatment provider will apply a topical numbing cream or administer a local anesthetic injection in the targeted area of the nose.
Radiesse filler in precise volumes will be delivered to the specific points in the nasal area using small needles. The entire non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure can be completed in about 15 to 20 minutes. Sometimes the procedure may be combined with Botox or other facial fillers to achieve more comprehensive outcomes.

One of the key elements of an attractive face is a strong and proportionate chin. An ample chin can help to create symmetry, add definition and bring balance to facial features. Chin augmentation can be performed using chin implant plastic surgery, but not every patient may be prepared for a surgical procedure. Patients who want to avoid surgery may consider non-surgical chin augmentation using Radiesse dermal filler.
People with a moderately recessive or undermined chin may be good candidates for non-surgical chin augmentation. Sometimes a patient may choose this procedure as a prelude to chin augmentation surgery. MBody, led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides non-surgical chin augmentation to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding communities.

Procedure

To perform chin augmentation without involving plastic surgery, the treatment provider may use Radiesse facial filler injections. This procedure can be performed in-office in a single treatment session lasting less than 20 minutes, and the patient can simply return to their normal routine after the treatment. The provider will apply a local anesthetic injection or a topical numbing cream to the targeted area of injections around the chin.
Radiesse filler gel will be administered through a very small needle or a micro cannula in the marked areas of the chin. The gel will reach the deeper skin layers to add volume and projection to the chin. Radiesse filler gel is composed of calcium microspheres, which do not disintegrate easily. Therefore, the patient can enjoy longer lasting results with Radiesse than with many other filler injections.

Recovery and Results

Chin augmentation effects with a single Radiesse injectable treatment can last for up to one year. Some patients may have to receive touch up treatments at six-month intervals. The patient will experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and post-treatment bruising will be low. Swelling may last for two to three days after the procedure.

Common problems such as infection and scar tissue are avoided with Radiesse chin augmentation procedure. This FDA approved treatment is highly safe as long as it is performed by a qualified and experienced dermal filler provider.

Customized Treatment

Each patient has a unique facial anatomy and chin appearance. At the same time, the aesthetic perspectives and requirements will also vary from one patient to another. Therefore, an experienced Radiesse chin augmentation treatment provider will create a customized injection plan after taking various factors into account.
In some cases, Radiesse chin augmentation may be combined with other injectable fillers such as Juvederm Voluma. Chin and nose are often addressed together to maintain facial balance. Botox or filler injections may be used for the nose to create the right balance between the nose and the chin.
