Refine & Straighten: Non-Surgical Solutions for a Crooked Nose
A crooked nose can affect overall facial balance and symmetry. It may be due to genetics, past injury, or natural variations in nasal structure. While surgical rhinoplasty is a well-known option for reshaping the nose, many individuals prefer a non-surgical approach to improve the appearance of nasal asymmetry without the need for surgery or prolonged recovery time.
At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly provides advanced non-surgical treatment options for a crooked nose using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. This technique, often called non-surgical rhinoplasty, allows for subtle yet effective reshaping to improve the symmetry and contour of the nose. The procedure is minimally invasive, providing immediate results with little to no downtime.
How Non-Surgical Treatment for a Crooked Nose Works
A crooked nose may result from irregular bone structure, cartilage asymmetry, or past trauma that has altered nasal alignment. Non-surgical correction involves carefully placed dermal fillers to restore balance, smooth out irregularities, and improve nasal symmetry.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to enhance nasal structure by adding volume in specific areas to create a straighter and more proportionate appearance. Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, this method does not alter the underlying bone or cartilage but instead uses strategic filler placement to achieve a more harmonious look. The procedure is performed with precision, ensuring a natural result that complements individual facial features.
The treatment process is quick, typically completed within 30 to 45 minutes. Results are visible immediately, with the final outcome becoming more refined as any minor swelling subsides over the following days. Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary, with results lasting between 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.
Non-surgical nose reshaping is ideal for individuals with minor nasal asymmetry, depressions, or irregular contours. It is not a substitute for surgery in cases where functional issues, such as breathing difficulties, need to be addressed. A consultation is necessary to assess suitability and develop a personalised treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results of non-surgical crooked nose correction last?
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers typically last between 12 and 18 months. Maintenance treatments can help sustain results over time.
Is the procedure painful?
A numbing agent is applied before treatment to enhance comfort. Most individuals experience only mild discomfort during the injections.
Are there any side effects?
Mild swelling, redness, or slight bruising may occur at the injection site but usually resolves within a few days. Proper aftercare helps promote smooth healing.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after the procedure, with the final outcome becoming more refined over the following days as minor swelling subsides.
Can a non-surgical nose reshaping replace rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical treatments provide subtle refinements and improvements in nasal symmetry but do not alter the underlying bone or cartilage. Surgical rhinoplasty is required for significant structural changes or functional corrections. A consultation helps determine the most suitable treatment approach.
