Rhinomodelation vs Rhinoplasty: Which treatment to choose to improve your nose?
More and more people in Badalona and Barcelona are looking to improve the shape of their nose, either for aesthetics or functionality. Faced with this demand, two main options arise: surgical rhinoplasty and rhinomodeling with hyaluronic acid. Although both can correct visible defects, their characteristics, duration and level of intervention are very different.
In this article we explain in detail the difference between rhinoplasty and rhinomodelation, which treatment is more appropriate for each case, and what you can expect on your first visit to our aesthetic clinic.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic and functional surgery performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. Its objective is to modify the bony and cartilaginous structure of the nose to change its external shape and, if necessary, improve breathing.
Key features of rhinoplasty:
- Permanent and irreversible results.
- Can correct functional problems (deviated septum, turbinates, nasal valves).
- Requires general anesthesia and postoperative period of several weeks.
- Ideal to reduce size, correct humps, raise the tip or refine the shape.
What is a rhinomodelation?
Rhinomodelation is a medical-aesthetic procedure that is performed in consultation, without surgery. It consists of injecting hyaluronic acid in strategic points to visually modify the shape of the nose.
Advantages of rhinomodelation:
- Outpatient procedure, without medical leave.
- Immediate and reversible results.
- It allows lifting the tip, disguise humps or correct slight asymmetries.
- More economical price.
- The patient can participate in the process with a mirror.
- Temporary results (6 to 18 months approx.).
It is an ideal option for those seeking a subtle change, without undergoing surgery.
Which is the best option for you?
The choice between rhinoplasty and rhinomodeling depends on your aesthetic and functional goals, your budget, and your willingness to undergo surgery.
We recommend rhinoplasty if:
- You are looking for a slight change, without surgery.
- You want to try out what your nose would look like with a different shape before surgery.
- You do not have breathing problems.
- We recommend rhinoplasty if:
- You are looking for a profound structural change.
