Rhinofiller Geneva

Let's discover rhinofiller through 10 questions and answers that explain what this revolutionary treatment is and what it consists of:

1 – WHAT IS THE RHINOFILLER?
Rhinofiller is an aesthetic medicine treatment, also called “non-surgical rhinoplasty”, which is carried out on an outpatient basis and allows the temporary correction of aesthetic defects of the nose through simple infiltrations of volumizing substances.

2 – WHO CAN UNDERGO RHINOFILLER TREATMENT?
Rhinofiller is indicated for all people, men and women, who want to improve the appearance of their nose and who do not need to solve functional problems, such as restricted breathing. It is not indicated for particularly wide noses, which would not benefit from the volumizing effect of a rhinofiller.

3 – WHAT ARE THE DEFECTS THAT CAN BE CORRECTED?
Aesthetic defects such as a pronounced hump, a flattened back or an upturned tip can be corrected with a rhinofiller, resulting in a more harmonious and delicate profile.

4 – WHAT ARE THE MOST USED SUBSTANCES FOR A RHINOFILLER?
The filling and volumizing substances most commonly used for the procedure are hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite, both biocompatible and completely reabsorbable because they are already present in our body. Hyaluronic acid is used for lighter touch-ups, while the strong volumizing power of calcium hydroxyapatite makes it more suitable for more visible corrections and longer-lasting effects.

5 – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RHINOPLASTY AND RHINOFILLER?
These are two completely different procedures in that rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure carried out in the operating room with the aim of reshaping the nose by removing tissue, also with the aim of improving breathing; rhinofiller, for its part, is an outpatient treatment which aims to increase the volume of the tissues to give a new projection to the nose. The aftermath of the procedure is also different, and for rhinofillation, you need to allow a few days with slight swelling.

6- HOW DOES A RHINOFILLER TREATMENT PROCEED?
As we have already mentioned, the procedure does not require an operating room and lasts approximately 30 minutes, during which the doctor infiltrates certain parts of the nose to create a different projection and thus correct the defect. To raise a bump for example, he will carry out micro-injections on the columella, while to “erase” a bump, he will carry out infiltrations in the upper and lower part of it.

7 – IS THIS A PAINFUL PROCEDURE?
Rhinofiller is neither an invasive nor a painful procedure. In order not to create discomfort for patients, however, the best aesthetic doctors use products that also contain a local anesthetic.

8- HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS LAST?
The duration of results depends on the substance used and can last up to 18 months in the case of rhinofillers based on calcium hydroxyapatite. In any case, it is possible to repeat the treatment periodically without running any risk.

9 – WHO CAN PERFORM THE RHINOFILLER?
Only an aesthetic doctor or plastic surgeon can perform rhinofiller treatments, since the procedure requires in-depth knowledge of the nose area, in order to achieve a change in shape in a harmonious and natural way.

10- HOW MUCH DOES A RHINOFILLER TREATMENT COST?
The cost of a rhinofiller treatment cannot be established a priori because it depends on the type of defect to be corrected and, above all, on the quantity of product necessary to achieve the objective. The cost also depends on the type of substance used.
