The number of rhinoplasty procedures is declining, as shown by statistics. Patients are increasingly choosing non-surgical alternatives.
Plastic surgeons from the UK have found that locals are less likely to go under the scalpel to correct nasal defects, preferring non-surgical alternatives. So, if in 2013 4,878 rhinoplasties were performed, then in 2021 only 1,330 were performed. One of the advantages of non-surgical methods of nose correction is that they do not entail the risks characteristic of traditional abdominal operations.
These techniques involve the injection of fillers that can change the shape of the nose to the desired one. Moreover, the effect is temporary, on average, remaining for two years. If the patient does not like the final result, then the problem can be quickly corrected, which cannot be done with abdominal operations. Many people after rhinoplasty are dissatisfied with the result they get. Sometimes this is the lack of qualifications or failure of plastic surgeons, and sometimes the changeable mood of the patients themselves, who already regret that they have changed their appearance so drastically.
5 years ago, no one even thought about the possibility of non-surgical rhinoplasty, but now it is almost the most popular trend in the plastic surgery industry. In addition to all the other advantages already mentioned, it requires less money and a much shorter recovery period after the procedure. For example, after injections into the nose, a person can return to work the same day, and after a real plastic surgery, he will have to wear bandages for two weeks. (READ MORE)
