Why Non Surgical Nose Job Is Often Preferred By Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Patients

Oftentimes, a patient comes to Beverly Hills to have corrective surgery after an unhappy experience with one or more previous rhinoplasty surgeries.  Often part of the problem is a deviated septum.  Sometimes the septum is deviated causing crookedness and diminished airflow.  Or, the problem is that the tip is too bulbous or asymmetrical. The tip is too narrow and asymmetrical or the bridge may be too low or asymmetrical because the nasal bones were not properly corrected.   In any event, often while surgery is feasible, it is not always the optimal treatment. 

Surgery is sometimes necessary.  However, there are many circumstances where patients have had surgery and perhaps they might have been satisfied by non-surgical means.  The most practical answer for many patients is a series of filling injections.   Filling injections are using either temporary or permanent fillers in the office under a topical skin anesthetic.  Fillers raise depressed areas and correct asymmetries.  Some patients are amazed when they are told that they do not necessarily have to have another operation, particularly those who have had three or four previous rhinoplasty surgeries.  The prospect of having yet another surgery with again the possibility of an uncertain outcome is not very palatable.  But hearing that the office treatment can be done and that the patient can participate by judging the results of each of the series of injections is very attractive and practical.

The cost is less, there is no time off work, and that is why for many patients, filling injections – not surgery -  is preferable.
