NOSE OPTIONS

Nose Reduction and Slimming – after 6 months period

Combination approach:

1.Skin quality treatments by dermal clinician ( laser nose slimming

2. For deeper tissues – injection of nose slimming actives after Dermatological Ultrasound determined underlying tissues contribusing to the overall volume.

The treatments rely on own body response therefore results may vary and course of few (2-3 months apart).

Nose Tip Lifting Case – after 2 weeks period

Combination approach:

1. Dermal Filler for lifting point under the nose

2. Muscle relaxant injection for pulling nose tip down musle – the lift is more noticable in smile

Nose  lift, smaller, more narrow nostrils, skin quality  – 3 months

Combination approach due to multifactorial concern.

1. Filler is used to narrow nostrils torwards to center of the nose mechanically.

Certain effect can be seen same day, but final result after 2-4 weeks.

Due to proximity of arteries and narrow anatomical place – usually done over few times with small amount each time to stretch tissues and minimise risks (also more collagen stimulation).

2. Muscle relaxant injections into nostrils (alar nasi) to make nostrils more narrow and into muscle pulling down the nose tip to lift the nose.

Alar part of nasalis muscle which is responsible flaring nostrils wider.

3. Skin treatments

– laser to “shrink” amount of tissues making nose overall smaller.

– peel to improve skin quality (redness, pores)

– lightening skin care (as per overall request)

Straightening and lift of the nose 

Multifactorial therefore few contributing causes addressed by different modalities.

1. Dermal filler is used to sculpture more straight dorsum line.  The area is highly vascularised and has high tension of tissues, therefore doctor will likely use step by step approach over few appointments. Some result is seen after each treatment, but settles after 2-3 weeks to assess if required more. Special needles are used to minimise vascular risk.

2. Muscle relaxant injections to release musles pulling nose down and nasalis muscles to make sides of nose more straight.

3. PDO thread to lift and define overall nose appearence.

Common question – Nose doesn’t look bigger as very small amounts of dermal filler in precise areas placed and straighter line creates visual illusion of smaller nose.

Nose filler can be dissolved, but safer to plan nose reshaping over time rather than “instant” treatment.

Nose slimming injections

Depending on underlying cause of concern – different options possible. For bones improvement – genetic, traumatic reasons, previous ENT or plastic nose job surgery – surgical approach usually more effective.

For soft tissues improvement, recovery after surgery – non surgical options can provide effective solusions.

VISTA Clinic Australia uses dermatological Ultrasound to determine underlying structure and matching actives to make smaller the size of soft tissues.

In some cases, nose slimming injection can give visible results same day, but in majority of cases it takes around 2 months to see the final result, when doctor re-assess and make plan to move forward.

Side effects of such injection include irregularities, dimples, it can un-mask underlying lumps not seen before.

Cases here had combination of

1. nose slimming injections

2. skin quality improvements – laser for nose reduction, bio revitalisation for skin quality overall improvement, peeling for superficial structires “clearance” and lightening skincare.

Results shown are at assessment after 3 months – both are regulars and process of changing is still ongoing.

Elevation and straightening of tip of the nose

Concern as that the tip of the nose is “hanging down” and has “bumps”, as well as skin “dull”.

After assessment, contributing causes determined as natural normal aging,  genetical bone structure, overly active muscle, pulling down the tip of the nose  (this muscle called depressor septi nasi), skin quality addressed separetely.

Procedures:

1.Dermal filler at the basement of the nose, replacing the resorbed with age bone and providing  support for the nose’ repositioning to upliften position. Nasolabial folds on sides of nose were addressed at the same time as a part of “overall improvement” request. Dr Larissa Miller learnt the technique at the anatomy lab of the  famous Medical School of Paris –  University Descartes Paris.

2. Muscle relaxant injection to weaken the muscle, pulling nose tip down. Such approach particularly useful for  people, who’s nose tip moving down when smiling or talking.
