Introduction
Nose fillers gained popularity in Singapore amongst those who are looking to enhance and reshape their noses. Unlike a surgical rhinoplasty or plastic surgery performed on the nose, nose shaping with fillers are minimally invasive with no downtime. This makes nose shaping with fillers an ideal treatment option for busy working adults. This non-surgical nose enhancement treatment is safe, highly customisable, and has natural looking results if done with an experienced doctor.
Regardless of whether you want to raise your nose bridge, straighten a bump on your nose, or enhance facial harmony and balance, your doctor can customise a treatment plan for you. With experienced doctors and stringent safety standards, nose filler treatments in Singapore continue to gain popularity over these years.
Why choose nose fillers for non-surgical rhinoplasty?
Nose fillers offer several advantages over traditional surgical rhinoplasty. While rhinoplasty is invasive and has a long downtime, nose fillers offer a quicker, minimally-invasive alternative with no extended recovery period required. Patients can return to their daily routine immediately after treatment.
Nose fillers are also generally less expensive as compared to a surgical rhinoplasty. Additionally, nose filler treatments done with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers offer flexibility if adjustments are needed. This is because HA fillers can be reversed with a hyaluronidase injection, giving patients more control over the final results. Although rhinoplasty with a good surgeon can give your permanent results and can be reversed with revision surgery, it is yet another invasive surgery that you will need to undergo again. This is a reason why some are hesitant to commit to surgical rhinoplasty for purely cosmetic reasons.
How long does filler last in the nose?
One of the most commonly asked questions is: How long do nose fillers last? Nose fillers results typically last between one to two years, but this varies depending on factors such as the type of fillers used and the individual’s metabolism rate.
Lifestyle habits, including smoking, sun exposure, and exercise frequency, also influence how long the nose filler will last. Patients may also opt for touch up treatments to maintain their desired look too.
The nose filler procedure at Halley Medical Aesthetics
Non-surgical nose procedure at Halley Medical Aesthetics is highly customisable under the hands of our experienced doctors who will carefully assess an individual’s features and preferences before prescribing a treatment plan. The nose filler treatment is designed to be safe, comfortable, effective, yet natural looking at the same time.
1. Thorough consultation and assessment
You will start with a consultation with our doctor. It is important to communicate your aesthetics goals and preferences as clearly as possible to the doctor so that the doctor can choose the right type of dermal filler and design an ideal treatment plan for you.
2. Cleansing and numbing
Prior to the treatment, our experienced therapist will cleanse your skin and apply numbing cream for you. The numbing cream will be left on for about 15 to 20 minutes to ensure that your nose filler treatment is a comfortable one.
3. Injection
Doctors can either use a cannula or inject nose fillers into the nose directly. The cannula, also known as a “magic needle”, has a lower chance of bruising, swelling, and less discomfort. Doctors may opt for the second method after assessment if it is more suitable for your unique condition and aesthetics goal.
Various type of dermal fillers are available in the Singapore market for use on the nose. Hyaluronic acid fillers are often used for nose fillers, but your doctor will prescribe the type of dermal filler that is best suited to your needs. Most hyaluronic acid fillers also contain lidocaine, an anaesthetic which numbs the treatment, making the treatment a more comfortable one.
Once the injection is done, the doctor may massage the nose, or sculpt the nose if needed. Treatment should take about an hour including numbing, and patients can return to their daily routine immediately after that.
4. Post-treatment care
Patients will be given post-treatment care instructions to ensure smooth recovery and to achieve the desired results.
Some post-treatment care tips include:
- Avoid painkillers and drinking alcohol for the first 24 hours to reduce the chance of bruising
- Avoid vigorous exercise and rubbing the treated areas for two days following treatment to allow filler to settle and prevent infection.
- If possible, avoid applying make-up over injection site for up to 4 hours to prevent infection.
