Dear doctor,
My name is Eiko Strauss and I am reaching out to you with a question regarding nose correction. For many years, I have been bothered by the shape of my nose and I have finally decided to do something about it. However, I have major concerns about undergoing a surgical nose correction, as I am afraid of the risks and the pain.
In my opinion, my nose is too large and disproportionately shaped. I am particularly bothered by the bump on the bridge of my nose. It affects my appearance and I wish for a more natural shape of my nose that will better suit my face.
Due to my fears of surgery, I would like to know if there are alternative methods to correct my nose without the need for a surgical procedure. Are there non-invasive treatments or minimally-invasive procedures that can allow for a nose correction? What are the risks and side effects associated with these methods, and how long would such a procedure take?
I would greatly appreciate your assessment and recommendations in order to make a decision regarding a nose correction. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Eiko Strauss
Dear Mr. Strauss,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding a nose correction. I understand that you have concerns about undergoing a surgical treatment and would like to consider alternative methods. It is important that you educate yourself and weigh which option best suits your needs and expectations.
In plastic surgery, there are indeed various non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures that can be used for nose correction. One of the non-invasive treatment methods is rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid. In this procedure, hyaluronic acid is injected into specific areas of the nose to smooth out imperfections and enhance the shape. This procedure is relatively painless and does not require surgery. However, the effect is not permanent and needs to be refreshed regularly.
Another minimally invasive option is nose correction with botulinum toxin, also known as Botox. In this procedure, specific muscles in the nose are paralyzed to change the shape. This procedure is also painless and does not require surgery. However, the effect is not permanent and needs to be repeated regularly.
Both non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures may have risks and side effects such as swelling, redness, or mild intolerances. It is important that you seek advice from an experienced and qualified specialist to weigh the risks and side effects and find the most suitable treatment method for you.
Regarding the duration of such a procedure, I can tell you that both rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid and nose correction with botulinum toxin can usually be performed quickly and do not require a long recovery time. However, the exact duration depends on your individual case and the methods used.
I recommend scheduling an appointment in my office so that we can analyze your nose more closely and find the best treatment option for you together. I am happy to answer any further questions you may have and look forward to advising you in person.
Sincerely,
Günther Zollmann
