Episode Transcript

It’s June 18th, 2024. Today, let’s dive into some innovative methods for non-surgical rhinoplasty that are making waves in the aesthetic medicine community.

Non-surgical options for rhinoplasty include intradermal filler injections, thread lifts, and the use of botulinum neurotoxin. Temporary fillers, while generally safe, require careful selection and application. Johnson and Kontis underscore the importance of understanding nasal anatomy and pinpoint accuracy in technique to avoid serious complications, like necrosis or even vision loss.

Thread lifting is another promising method. Dr. Ho explains that this involves placing biocompatible sutures horizontally and vertically across the nasal structure. This creates an internal framework to sculpt the nose, offering immediate results.

A key takeaway from these non-surgical techniques is the significant emphasis on careful technique and patient-specific considerations. Understanding facial musculature and anatomy plays a crucial role in achieving the desired outcomes and preventing complications.

That’s it for today. Stay tuned for more insights tomorrow!
