Dr. Kevin Sadati, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, offers an innovative non-surgical rhinoplasty at his exclusive Newport Beach, California facility. This approach is best for patients unsatisfied with the appearance of their nose, but do not need a full rhinoplasty procedure. By using dermal fillers such as Restylane® and RADIESSE®, Dr. Sadati can reshape and augment the nose, adding symmetry to your facial features. "Every week I see people who are looking to change the appearance of their nose," says Dr. Sadati "but in many cases, they just want to do something small, like modifying the tip or filling out the bridge. For these patients, I often recommend non-surgical rhinoplasty.”
Restylane and RADIESSE are two commonly used dermal fillers for injectable rhinoplasty. Restylane is hyaluronic filler that lasts several months before retreatment is necessary. For patients that prefer a longer-lasting solution, RADIESSE has shown to last a few months longer. "Injectable rhinoplasty is a great way for patients to improve the look of their nose without having surgery," explains Dr. Sadati, "However; the trade-off for avoiding the scalpel is that touch-up treatments are required. Typically I see patients about every 9 months, depending on which filler is used for their liquid rhinoplasty. Since the results of these fillers fade with time, some of my patients will end up preferring a surgical rhinoplasty procedure for a more permanent solution."
In contrast to a temporary dermal filler solution, surgical rhinoplasty is a more permanent solution to various nasal imperfections. A nose job can address symmetry, size and shape, width, and enhance overall attractiveness. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular procedures in the United States, according to 2009 statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. A nose job helps bring facial features into balance with one another. "Rhinoplasty has long been a popular procedure, and lasting correction will always be the goal for a big group of patients," says Dr. Sadati. "And I'm pleased to offer a non-invasive alternative that can address a number of concerns. In the next few years, I believe injectable rhinoplasty will become more popular among women and men who want to correct minor nasal imperfections."
