Aesthetic procedures on the nose area are one of the most commonly preferred aesthetic and surgical operations today. Aesthetic interventions on the nose area are presented under two main categories: surgical and non-surgical.

What is a nose surgery? How is it performed?

Rhinoplasty, also known as aesthetic nose surgery in medical literature, is one of the most common procedures for individuals who are dissatisfied with the shape of their nose. Nose surgeries help eliminate shape deformities observed in the nose due to causes such as injury, trauma, or genetic factors. Additionally, deformities in the nose can lead to various health problems such as breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, snoring, or bad breath. Nasal surgery is also used to address these issues and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Multiple techniques are used for aesthetic nose surgery. In the open technique, an incision is made across the area between the two nostrils, allowing access to the problematic areas. In the closed technique, incisions are made inside the nostrils, and interventions are carried out on the affected areas through these incisions.

What is nose filler? How is it done?

Another procedure used to correct shape deformities in the nose is nose filler. Nose filler differs from other rhinoplasty techniques because it is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure.

Patients who seek nose filler treatment generally have the following complaints:

• Drooping tip of the nose problem.
• Asymmetric nose appearance.
• Narrow or wide nose bone or collapse in the nose bone.

Nose filler aims to eliminate the imperfections observed in the nose by using aesthetic fillers. The material commonly preferred during this procedure is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body. It provides elasticity to the skin and helps store moisture in the skin. In aesthetic filler procedures, hyaluronic acid is used to fill areas where volume deficiency is considered.

What are the differences between nose filler and nose surgery?

Patients who wish to achieve their dream appearance with an aesthetic touch on their nose often wonder about and research the differences between nose filler and nose surgery. The main differences between nose filler and surgical aesthetic nose procedures can be listed as follows:

• Nose filler is not surgery. During this procedure, no incisions are made in the patient’s skin. Special needles designed for filler procedures are used to inject hyaluronic acid-based filler material into the nose bridge. On the other hand, rhinoplasty surgery is a surgical procedure. As a result, incisions are made between or inside the nostrils, and necessary corrections are performed on the nose.
• Nose filler does not have permanent effects. The effects of nose filler typically last between 1 and 1.5 years. Patients who wish can undergo the nose filler procedure again after these effects wear off. On the other hand, nose surgeries have permanent effects. With rhinoplasty, the nose structure is permanently reshaped. In some cases, a revision rhinoplasty may be required after a nose surgery.
• No incisions are required during the nose filler procedure. Therefore, no scarring is expected in the nose area. However, in nose surgeries, depending on the technique used, incisions may be made between the two nostrils. Although these incisions may fade over time, it is still possible for small scars to remain after the procedure.
• The nose filler procedure is performed to eliminate the problems of patients with smaller nose bridges. After the filler procedure, an improvement can also be seen in the patient’s nose bridge. Rhinoplasty, on the other hand, involves more detailed procedures to change the size and shape of the nose. In summary, while nose filler is recommended for patients with minor imperfections in the nose area, aesthetic nose surgery is preferred for more challenging and complex nose structures.
• Nose filler is frequently preferred by patients who are afraid of surgery or have various concerns since it is a non-surgical procedure. Additionally, patients who want to observe the shape their nose will have before the aesthetic nose surgery may also opt for the nose filler procedure.
• The effects of the nose filler procedure are visible immediately after the treatment. However, for the full effects of aesthetic nose surgeries to be seen, the swelling, bruising, or edema in the nose area must subside, and the packing and stitches should be removed. To fully see the final shape of the nose and for the edema to completely subside, an average period of 6-12 months is required.
• Nose filler is a quick and easy procedure. Patients can return to their daily routine immediately after the procedure. Aesthetic nose surgeries, on the other hand, require a longer process in terms of both the operation time and recovery time.
• After a nose filler, patients do not need to stay in the hospital. In aesthetic nose surgery, patients can be discharged from the hospital after spending one night there, with the approval of the surgeon who performed the operation.

Should I get a nose filler or a nose surgery?

Patients who want an aesthetic touch to their nose may feel indecisive between the options of nose filler or nose surgery. For patients with minor shape deformities in their nose, who are hesitant to undergo surgery or are not suitable for an operation involving anesthesia, nose filler is recommended. On the other hand, for patients who need more complex and detailed procedures to correct shape-related problems in their nose, aesthetic nose surgeries are advised. Both procedures come with their own distinct advantages and disadvantages. In this context, the patient’s expectations and desires, along with the structure of their nose, will play an important role in determining the appropriate procedure. Not every nose may be suitable for a nose filler. You can find out if your nose is suitable for filler after an assessment by your doctor.

In addition to all of this, regardless of which nose procedure is preferred, advice from a specialized doctor is required before undergoing any of these operations. Taking into account the patient’s expectations after the procedure, as well as the anatomical structure and problems of the nose, the appropriate nose procedure is determined in collaboration with the doctor performing the operation.
