Injection medical rhinoplasty
Medical rhinoplasty
La medical rhinoplasty is an act which allows certain disgraces to be corrected at the level of the nose without rhinoplasty surgery.
The possibilities are multiple!
This gesture, which seems innocuous, is reserved for expert surgeons. Indeed, Doctor Smarrito, specialist in female rhinoplasty warns of the need to fully understand the anatomy of the nose and in particular the vascular areas before injecting.

MEDICAL RHINOPLASTY
A simple injection at the level of a bump, the tip of the nose and the junction between lip and nose can beautify your nose.
The injection is exclusively composed of hyaluronic acid. A precise gesture, anatomical knowledge, know-how in medical rhinoplasty ensures a tailor-made result.
Thanks to medical rhinoplasty, we gently beautify the nose, creating harmony across the entire face.
In the case of good indications for medical rhinoplasty, this generally involves correcting a slight bump on the condition that the patient accepts an addition to the nose while the surgery itself has more of a subtraction effect. In this context, an injection will be carried out between the forehead and the beginning of the bump which allows the bump at the level of the nose to be drowned in some way. A hayluronic acid injection is also made at the junction between this bump and the tip and of course the tip will also be remodeled by a sculpting injection of the tip of the nose.
Very often associated with this phenomenon of bump, it is necessary to correct the angle between the nose and the lip. During consultations, we often notice, even in consultation for surgical rhinoplasty, that patients are quite bothered by the drop of the nose when smiling with an angle that is closed. In this context, an injection will be carried out at the base of the nose to enhance, like a cartilaginous graft during real rhinoplasties, the tip of the nose and to balance the nasolabial angle as well as the profile.
As always in medicine, diagnosis before treatment remains important!
Who is medical rhinoplasty for?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is indicated for patients wishing to correct a slight cosmetic abnormality of the nose. Strictly speaking, it is not an alternative to traditional surgical rhinoplasty, but rather a different option. The motivation of patients and the surgeon may be a contraindication to the surgical procedure or the desire to have lower financial costs, to avoid sick leave, as well as the risks associated with surgical rhinoplasty. classic. A priori, we can say that the goal of medical rhinoplasty is the same as when we wish to install grafts, in classic rhinoplasty.
There are many grafts possible in classic rhinoplasty: shield graft, tip graft, radix graft, alar graft., rim graft, Sheen graft. Since the injections must be focused, they cannot replace all of these grafts but can play the role of a graft on the axis of the tip, or at the level of the dorsum of the nose. Thus, we can use fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, in the following cases:
Presence of a bump at the dorsal level (convexity);
Presence of a hollow at the dorsal level (concavity);
Irregularities of the back of the nose, even slight asymmetry;
Hooked nose (very good indication for medical injection);
Insufficiently projected tip;
Insufficiently formed tip and lacking finesse (to be discussed in consultation as this may be an indication for classic tip rhinoplasty);
Tip rotation;
Irregularities in the wing cartilages;
Insufficient tip projection;
Correction of minor irregularities after primary rhinoplasty (Dr. Smarrito does not correct rhinoplasty performed abroad);
Functional improvement (equivalent to butterfly or apposition grafts to spread the nasal valve).
So non-surgical rhinoplasty can have its own benefit. The strategy can be distinct from true surgical rhinoplasty. On the other hand, if the nose is massive and needs to be lightened, made somehow more feminine, it is often preferable to carry out surgery to reduce the bone or even cartilage mass.
The message from Doctor Stéphane SMARRITO
» Medical rhinoplasty gives excellent results. Thus, it is possible to modify the appearance of the nose thanks to precise injections. I need to meet you to understand your project. Each injection is tailor-made according to the anatomical aspect and your wishes. “
Why do some doctors advise against medical rhinoplasty?
Most of the time, doctors who advise against medical rhinoplasty do not have experience with this technique. Medical rhinoplasty is a fantastic procedure but requires training, skill and practice. Very often, doctors who advise against it have never practiced it or do not know that it requires a high level of performance. Conversely, we will advise you if medical rhinoplasty is a good indication for you. So, it is true that there are good cases, such as a drooping nose tip or a pronounced bump, and less favorable cases such as a thick nose for example.
Can I combine other injections with medical rhinoplasty?
Yes, it is possible to perform other injections at the same time as medical rhinoplasty, such as lip or cheekbone injections. This is of particular interest because, in medical or surgical rhinoplasty, very often the profile must be corrected. This procedure has a name, it is profiloplasty. Thus, the chin, lips and cheekbones can be adjusted, which provides a better visual effect and further reduces the presence of an unsightly nose.
Hyaluronic acid injection for secondary rhinoplasty
You should avoid injecting hyaluronic acid following rhinoplasty as much as possible. Indeed, during the surgical procedure the tissues are lifted, some are cut and the bones are modulated. Thus, the arterial route can be modified. The only exception to this rule is that the surgeon who performed the first rhinoplasty procedure can carry out touch-ups by injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose. Indeed, this surgeon knows perfectly what procedure has been performed and can better control risk-taking in relation to the location of the arteries and veins after nasal surgery.
What are the side effects of medical rhinoplasty?
Performing an injection into the nose with hyaluronic acid, distributed by a renowned laboratory, significantly reduces the risks. The main risks of this nasal injection are: hematoma, edema, swelling, bruising and slight pain. It should be noted that cases of infection have been described in the literature, which is why this injection must be carried out in an operating theater like the one available to Dr Smarrito in Vevey. This guarantees health safety as much as possible. The risks that we absolutely want to avoid through good control of the anatomy are: breakages in an artery or vein, injecting into the blood flow, or having compression of the artery and the vein. If this side effect is identified, it can be immediately corrected by injecting the hyalase, which will dissolve hyaluronic acid. The injection rhinoplasty procedure and the repair of side effects are at an important technical level.
What are the differences between medical rhinoplasty and real rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery operation used to operate on the nose. This involves removing a bump or refining the cartilage. Rhinoplasty remains the main indication if you want to change the aesthetic appearance of your nose. Very often, it involves removing a bone or cartilaginous component. And graft the tip to give it more character, more structure. So rhinoplasty is rather an act where material is removed. Conversely, medical rhinoplasty, based on hyaluronic acid injections, is an act where material is added. This material is in gel form: hyaluronic acid. Inject precisely and in strategic areas, it allows you to somehow camouflage a bump. It is also possible by injecting at the threshold of the columella to raise the tip, structure it and give it more character.
I want to be a model for Dr. SMARRITO.
Dr SMARRITO, who runs international work shops, can provide you with medical rhinoplasty as part of a master class. The benefit for you is generally to have a procedure perfectly mastered by Dr SMARRITO or by a colleague from another country. So you are dealing with an expert who demonstrates live for other surgeons. Generally, the costs are reduced compared to a traditional injection and in return, the model gives up its image rights which can be used for medical conferences, congresses or by the laboratory to show BEFORE/AFTER images. Only technically interesting cases are selected to participate in a work shop. In the context of a work shop, you must have a certain availability to carry out the session. As part of the training carried out at Dr SMARRITO's office in Vevey, monitoring is carried out by Dr SMARRITO himself.
How to choose a cosmetic doctor for medical rhinoplasty?
We strongly recommend choosing a cosmetic surgeon trained in rhinoplasty and medical rhinoplasty at an expert level. Indeed, you need to know the injection strategies well to achieve the result. Likewise, good control of the products is important, both in terms of the density of the rheology and the brands to know which products will hold in place sufficiently to maintain the result for several months. Participating in an injection with an FMH surgeon ensures perfect knowledge of the anatomy, in fact as we have said several times, the injection must be focused at the level of the nose and not lateralized. If the injection is not lateralized, there is a risk of pressure or occlusion on the arteries and veins of the nose and the cheek area or even the lip.
Each case is approached in a tailor-made manner, This is why photographs must be appreciated in this sense and this is the paradox of before/after. Indeed, in aesthetic medicine what suits one person may not suit another person even though the initial anatomy is identical.
Profile correction: injection of the nose and lips.
Injection of 1 cc of hyaluronic acid: bump, tip, nasolabial angle
A specialized consultation for medical rhinoplasty…
In consultation, we will discuss whether the injection is the right solution or whether a rhinoplasty should instead be considered. In which case the different possibilities will be explained and debated. We always seek to carry out the simplest and least expensive technique for the patient, in this sense, even if our core business remains rhinoplasty, we are very satisfied with the medical injections ofhyaluronic acid at the level of the nose.
The duration of the effect of the product depends on the quantity injected, the quality of the product, the fact of not smoking and the activity specific to each person of the natural enzyme which resorbs hyaluronic acid: on average 6 months to 1 year.
Dr. Smarrito had the opportunity to demonstrate the nasal injection technique on several occasions during international workshops, as illustrated here in the photos from the Instagram account, with a friendly team of Quebec doctors who had come for “expert level” training. On this page you will find an example of full face, that is to say an injection correcting the forehead, cheekbones, nose, chin, contour of the mandible and lips.
I really like teaching these nasal injection techniques, because the result is often very natural but also very effective and ultimately few colleagues master the entire subject: anatomy, aesthetic criteria, strategy and gesture.
We will be able to advise you perfectly harmonious result and up to your wishes.
The team is at your disposal at 021 922 24 62, quote is established the same day during the consultation depending on the difficulty, duration and quantity of product used.
Medical rhinoplasty is as technical as surgical rhinoplasty.
On the other hand, my surgical experience allows a safer aesthetic approach and above all a perfect knowledge of the vascular anatomy of the nose, which is very important in this injection area.
