Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

There are two main approaches in nose aesthetics: surgical rhinoplasty and injection-based (non-surgical) treatments. The two serve different needs.

Surgical rhinoplasty

It involves reshaping bone and cartilage for a lasting change, and breathing function can be corrected when needed. It requires general anesthesia and a recovery period.

Non-surgical treatments

These are usually injection-based, temporary treatments such as fillers. They may be considered for limited refinements and do not aim to solve structural or functional problems. A surgical method may be needed for a lasting, comprehensive change.

Which method is suitable?

The appropriate approach is determined after examination, based on expectations, nasal structure and any functional issues. A detailed discussion with your physician is recommended.
