Non Surgical Nose Reshaping vs Rhinoplasty in Riyadh
The choice between Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping (Liquid Rhinoplasty) and Surgical Rhinoplasty in Riyadh depends on your desired results, budget, willingness for downtime, and whether you have any functional (breathing) issues.
Here is a breakdown of the key differences for procedures offered in Riyadh:
Feature Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping (Liquid Rhinoplasty) Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
Procedure Dermal fillers (like Hyaluronic Acid) are injected to sculpt the nose. Surgical alteration of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue.
Duration of Procedure Very fast (typically 15 to 30 minutes). Longer (typically 1 to 3 hours).
Results Temporary (typically 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler). Permanent (unless revision surgery is required).
Downtime/Recovery Minimal to none. You can often return to daily activities immediately. Longer (initial recovery is 1-2 weeks; final results visible in 6-12 months).
Anesthesia Topical numbing cream or local anesthetic. General anesthesia (often required).
Cost in Riyadh (SAR) Low upfront cost: Approximately SAR 1,000 to SAR 3,000 per session. Note: Requires repeated sessions. Higher upfront cost: Approximately SAR 15,000 to SAR 35,000 or more (depending on complexity).
What it Can Fix Subtle changes: Smooth out a dorsal hump, lift a droopy tip, correct minor asymmetry, and augment (add volume/height) to the bridge. Major changes: Reduce the size/width of the nose, correct severe bumps, fix a severely crooked nose, and correct functional issues (like a deviated septum).
Effect Adds volume to camouflage imperfections. Cannot make the nose smaller or narrower. Can reduce, augment, or reshape the nose structure.
Reversibility Reversible (Hyaluronic Acid fillers can be dissolved if necessary). Not easily reversible; changing the result requires another surgery (revision).
