Dermal fillers or threads can be used to increase the height of the nasal bridge and improve nasal tip projection without surgery using a minimally invasive procedure. The results are temporary but there is minimal downtime.
Reshaping of nose by reducing or increasing size, removing hump, changing shape of tip or bridge, narrowing width of nostrils, or changing angle between nose and upper lip can be performed. It may also relieve some breathing problems. Simple augmentation and tip plasties are usually done under local anesthesia as office procedures. With rib cartilage graft, hospitalization under general anaesthesia is usually required. 3 to 7 days off work may be required. For reduction rhinoplasty for hump reduction, general anaesthesia and hospital admission is usually required. More strenuous activities can be done after 2 to 3 weeks. Avoid hitting nose or having sunburn for 8 weeks.
