Injection nose augmentation

Treatment Effect

Treatment Results

Initial results are typically visible immediately after injection, with the nose appearing more prominent and three-dimensional. The duration of effect varies depending on the filler material: hyaluronic acid injections generally last 6 to 12 months, collagen lasts 9 to 12 months, and autologous fat can provide long-lasting results if it survives well. Over time, the filler material is gradually absorbed or metabolized by the body, causing the effects to diminish.

Is this suitable for me?

Suitable for individuals seeking modest improvement in nasal contour without surgical rhinoplasty, particularly those with good nasal foundation but a slightly low nasal bridge and不够-protruding nasal tip. However, individuals with severe cardiovascular disease, coagulation disorders, autoimmune conditions, or active inflammation or infection of the nasal skin should not undergo injectable rhinoplasty.

Select Device

Select Equipment

The primary equipment used for injection nose augmentation is a syringe. Reputable medical institutions typically use disposable sterile syringes that comply with national standards to ensure safety and hygiene during the injection process. When selecting, pay attention to the syringe brand, quality, and whether it possesses relevant medical device registration certificates and other qualifications.

Price

Price

The cost of injectable nose augmentation varies depending on the filler material, brand, injection volume, region, and medical facility. Generally, hyaluronic acid-based nose augmentation ranges from approximately 1,500,000 KRW to 3,500,000 KRW, with imported brands commanding higher prices; collagen-based injections typically fall within a similar range of 1,500,000 KRW to 3,500,000 KRW. Autologous fat injection nose augmentation, which involves additional steps such as fat harvesting and processing, tends to be more expensive, usually costing between 3,500,000 KRW and 10,500,000 KRW.

Expected Outcome

Injectable nose augmentation can improve the appearance of the nose to some extent, but its results are limited. It cannot achieve dramatic changes like surgical rhinoplasty and is instead used to make subtle adjustments to the nasal bridge height, tip shape, and other features. Before undergoing the procedure, it is essential to communicate thoroughly with your doctor to understand your nasal baseline and the achievable outcomes, avoiding unrealistic expectations.

Combination Therapy

Combined Treatment

Nasal injection can be combined with other aesthetic procedures to achieve better cosmetic results. For example, it can be paired with Botox injections, which relax the muscles around the nose to reduce dynamic wrinkles and create smoother nasal contours; it can also be combined with treatments like photon skin rejuvenation to improve the texture and tone of the skin on the nose.

Adverse Effects and Complications

Side Effects and Complications

Common side effects include redness, swelling, pain, and bruising at the injection site, which typically resolve spontaneously within a few days. Potential complications include infection, vascular embolism, and localized skin necrosis. Vascular embolism is a serious complication; if filler material is inadvertently injected into a blood vessel, it can cause ischemia and necrosis of the nasal skin, and in severe cases, may even affect vision.

Side Effects

In addition to the redness, swelling, pain, bruising, infection, and vascular embolism mentioned above, other side effects may include localized nodules and displacement. Localized nodules may result from uneven distribution of the filler material or the body's reaction to it, while displacement can be caused by external pressure or improper injection depth.

Select Instrument

Select Equipment

Aside from syringes, some medical facilities may utilize auxiliary devices such as ultrasound equipment to assist in injections, enabling physicians to more accurately determine the injection depth and dosage. When selecting equipment, ensure it possesses legitimate medical device certification and that the facility employs trained professional operators.

Project Contraindications

Contraindications for the Procedure

Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Due to potential effects of the injectable material on the fetus or infant, rhinoplasty via injection is not recommended.

Individuals with allergies: Those allergic to the filler material must absolutely avoid using it for injections.

Nasal inflammation or infection: Conditions such as sinusitis or rosacea should be fully treated before considering injectable rhinoplasty.

Patients taking anticoagulant medications: These may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising at the injection site; medication adjustments should be made under medical supervision.

In addition to the side effects mentioned above, such as redness, swelling, pain, bruising, infection, and vascular embolism, localized nodules and displacement may also occur. Localized nodules can result from uneven distribution of the filler material or the body's reaction to the filler, while displacement may be caused by external pressure or improper injection depth.

Self-Symptom Check

Self-Diagnosis of Symptoms

If local redness, swelling, or pain worsens or does not improve within 3 to 5 days after injection, or if symptoms such as skin paleness, blackening, or blurred vision occur, this may indicate complications, and medical attention should be sought immediately. If nodules, displacement, or similar issues are observed at the injection site, consult a doctor promptly.

Select treatment plan

Select Treatment Plan

Doctors will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's nasal foundation, desired outcomes, and financial capacity. For instance, patients with a strong nasal foundation and only slight flatness may opt for a small amount of hyaluronic acid injection, while those with poor nasal tip shape might combine different injection techniques or use materials in combination. Patients should communicate thoroughly with their doctor to understand the details and risks of the treatment plan.
