Hyaluronic acid nose augmentation

Before the advent of hyaluronic acid, plastic surgery experts used surgery to perform rhinoplasty, but the risks of surgery were very high. Although the country has recently become more stringent in its crackdown on illegal use of hyaluronic acid, there are still some plastic surgery clinics willing to use hyaluronic acid, which is not only cheap but also very effective. Hyaluronic acid can be used on the chin, nose bridge, cheeks and other parts of the face.

Hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose by injecting hyaluronic acid to achieve the rhinoplasty effect. In September 2014, the State Food and Drug Administration launched a strict investigation into illegal and irregular activities involving injectable hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid principle

Hyaluronic acid, also known as uronic acid and hyaluronic acid in English, is also called hyaluronic acid in medical books. It is a straight-chain high-molecular polysaccharide composed of disaccharide units (glucuronic acid-N-ethylthioaminoglucose). It is a substance that exists naturally in tissues and is also one of the components of human dermis. Hyaluronic acid injection is the process of injecting hyaluronic acid as a filler into the dermis wrinkles, depressions or areas that need to be plumped up, such as the lips, cheeks, nose bridge, chin, scars, etc., which can achieve the effect of immediate wrinkle removal and changing appearance. In the past, collagen was used as the structure in the dermis. If we use the analogy of building a house with reinforced concrete, collagen is like the steel frame, and hyaluronic acid is like the cement poured in after the steel bars are built. The expansion effect of hyaluronic acid prevents the steel frame from collapsing. However, the injected hyaluronic acid will be slowly absorbed by the human body, so if you want to maintain the effect, intermittent injections are required. Once regular injections are no longer continued, the effects will gradually fade and eventually disappear completely.

Operation Introduction

Hyaluronic acid is used as a filling material and is injected into the parts of the nose that need improvement via injection. Before the hyaluronic acid hardens, the doctor's skillful hands will pinch the nose into the shape you want. You should be fully prepared mentally before having hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty. You can choose a trusted medical institution or doctor to have the surgery, eliminate the fear of surgery, be full of confidence and security, and be calm and actively cooperate with the doctor. Do not seek medical treatment blindly to avoid adverse consequences. It is best to take a shower the day before hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty. On the day of surgery, you should use soap to wash off the dirt and grease on your face before going to the operating table to minimize the number of bacteria. You should also trim your nose hair and clean your nasal cavity before surgery. If the patient has other diseases before surgery, resulting in low immunity, it is easy for the surgery to cause infection and affect wound healing. Before performing hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty, there must not be any (bacterial) lesions on the face: such as folliculitis, furuncle, acne, acute eye inflammation, sinusitis, rhinitis, nasal vestibule furuncle, etc. Women should not undergo hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty during menstruation to avoid postoperative infection. Before undergoing hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty, you should fully understand the relevant knowledge about rhinoplasty, read relevant books, and it is best to visit people who have undergone hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty. You should be familiar with the entire process of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty.

Operation process

The hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty process can be completed through three steps: hardware selection, anesthesia, and shaping. During the rhinoplasty process, you must choose a sterile operating room for hyaluronic acid injection rhinoplasty. The sterile management of the operating room directly affects the safety of the process and the recovery of the effect. The anesthesia required for rhinoplasty is only local anesthesia. If some people are sensitive to anesthesia, intravenous anesthesia can be added. I would like to remind everyone that the doctor’s aesthetics and techniques are very important factors. Before the hyaluronic acid hardens, the doctor's skillful hands can pinch out the nose shape you want, so that the nose shape can be sculpted in time. Otherwise, the hyaluronic acid will quickly solidify inside the nose, which will have a certain impact on the shaping effect.

Specifically, it can be divided into the following specific steps:

1. Clean the treatment area for 1-2 minutes.

2. Apply topical anesthetic to the treatment area and wait for 15 minutes.

3. Disinfect the treatment area for 1-2 minutes.

4. Injection, 15-30 minutes.

5. After the injection is completed, the doctor will evenly massage and squeeze the injection site to create the desired nose shape for 3-5 minutes.

Postoperative precautions

1. In order to keep the shape fixed within 24 hours after injection, avoid touching the injection area.

2. Do not apply ice or heat to the injection site.

3. Avoid strenuous exercise within a short period of time after the injection.

4. Maintain general basic care procedures after injection and do not massage the treatment area specifically.

5. Avoid sauna for one week after the injection.
