Five Minute Nose Job

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to soften the little hump you inherited from your parents? Or the larger hump you ended up with after getting elbowed playing basketball or kneed playing soccer? Placing a small amount of filler above and below can soften the appearance of the hump, if not totally make it disappear. Quite often, if you had an injury rendering a twisted appearance on frontal view, or saddle depression on lateral view, it can also be softened using a filler.

These are some of the typical uses of fillers to enhance the appearance of your nose. Usually it can be done on the same day as the consultation and usually takes Dr. Kang a few minutes to complete the non-surgical rhinoplasty. Because there is minimal muscle movement over the dorsum (top) of the nose, once adequate projection has been achieved, the filler can last well into a year if not for longer of a period.

Your nose is the most central part of your face and there is an ideal shape as well as an adequate projection to your nose, which in turn can help to achieve that ideal proportions to your face no matter what your ethnic background is. Lacking an adequate projection to the nose, especially amongst Asian patients where their facial bones are flatter to begin with, will render them optically flatter and wider appearing when looking through camera lens or when taking selfies. Achieving adequate projection to the flat nose using a filler will instantly make your face optically slimmer on pictures, selfies, or when simply looking at yourself in the mirror. For many patients, this five minute non-surgical nose job can be one of those rare but truly a positive life altering experiences.

For the past 20 years or so, for as long as FDA fillers have been available in the U.S., Dr. Kang has been using fillers to provide non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures for his patients.

He is also well versed in all the various different approaches in injecting the fillers using either the needle or cannula technique, into all the various levels of the nose with rarely any bruising or swelling. When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Kang and his staff will carefully analyze your nose and offer you the best options of fillers using the best approach to create the optimal appearance and proportion to your nose as well as hopefully, the over all appearance of your face.
