- Hi, I'm Dr. Sara from Victorian Cosmetic Institute.
Today I'm going to be talking about and performing
a non-surgical rhinoplasty
or what we call here a 10 minute nose job.
We use dermal fillers to reshape the nose
to give it a straighter or more proportioned appearance.
The filler I'm going to use today
lasts about six months,
but we do have other fillers available at the clinic
that can last up to 18 months.
The patient today is one of our nurses
and she's been concerned about a hook
that she has in her nose.
So traditionally we have used rhinoplasty
which would have shaven off this part of the nose,
but what we can do with fillers
is we can disguise that by putting filler into this area
and therefore the hook is not as obvious
and you have a straighter profile.
The patient's had numbing cream on for the last hour
which helps with discomfort.
Also, some of our dermal fillers
have an anesthetic within the filler itself
so that the patient feels hardly anything at all.
How's that feeling?
- [Patient] Fine, I don't feel anything.
No pain.
- [Dr. Sara] So what we're trying to do
is just bringing up this deficit
on the bridge of the nose
so we get a nice, straight profile.
So just a little bit at a time,
have a look.
That's looking better already.
There can be a little bit of bleeding during the procedure,
but bruising itself is quite uncommon.
So most people leave with the look
that they're after immediately.
Then now I'm just gonna blend the brow
into the top of the bridge of the nose.
Do you feel that at all?
- [Patient] A tiny bit of pressure,
but it's fine.
- [Dr. Sara] We can also put some filler
in the base of the nose
to give a relative tip elevation.
I'm just icing it up a little bit there.
Okay.
