Medical rhinoplasty, or non-surgical rhinoplasty, reshapes the nose with small hyaluronic acid injections, without a scalpel or general anaesthesia. In Marrakech, Dr Sara Zahid, a dermatologist in Guéliz, offers it after an analysis of the face and profile, for small corrections: a small bump, a dip in the bridge of the nose, a drooping tip, mild asymmetry. The result is immediate but temporary. It does not reduce the volume of the nose and corrects neither the septum nor breathing difficulties. The nose is a vascular risk area: the indication, limits and risks are explained before any procedure, and surgery remains the reference for a major change.
A small bump or irregularity of the bridge, a dip, a drooping or poorly projected tip, mild asymmetry, harmonisation of the profile. The product fills or smooths, it removes nothing: a profile can thus be visually straightened by filling a dip, but a large bump cannot be reduced.
Reduce the size of the nose, refine a wide tip, correct a deviated septum or breathing difficulty, or give a definitive result. In these situations, surgery by a plastic or ENT surgeon is the suitable solution. It is better to know this before consulting than to be disappointed afterwards.
A consultation allows the face to be analysed from the front and in profile, what can be corrected to be defined and the risks to be set out. Hyaluronic acid is then injected in small amounts, without a scalpel, with a fine needle or a cannula depending on the area. A touch-up can be discussed at a check-up.
The effect is visible immediately, then stabilises. Slight swelling, redness or bruising may appear for a few days. The result is temporary, several months and variable from one person to another, and needs touch-ups to be maintained. Aftercare instructions are given after the injection.
The nose is a vascular risk area: occlusion of a vessel, rare but serious, can cause skin damage. The procedure must therefore be performed by a trained doctor, with CE-certified products; hyaluronic acid can, if necessary, be dissolved by an enzyme (hyaluronidase). Sharp pain, white or purplish skin or visual disturbance after the injection: contact the clinic or emergency services immediately.
Before a touch-up, the clinic's portable ultrasound (Clarius L20 HD3) can help locate the vessels of the bridge and tip of the nose and visualise filler already present, in order to adapt the technique and depth of injection. This examination complements the analysis of the profile and does not replace caution in the procedure.
The treatment is postponed or not advised in case of infection or active herpes, pregnancy or breastfeeding, known allergy to a component; a history of nose surgery calls for cautious assessment. If the change wanted is major or functional, surgical rhinoplasty is discussed (see the page "Aesthetic medicine or surgery").
It is a reshaping of the nose using hyaluronic acid injections, without surgery or general anaesthesia, to correct small defects (small bump, drooping tip, mild asymmetry). It is performed by dermatologist Dr Sara Zahid, after analysis of the face.
No. Hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed: the effect lasts several months, varying from person to person, and touch-ups are needed to maintain it.
No, material cannot be removed with injections. The appearance of the profile can only be corrected by filling certain dips; reducing a large nose or refining a wide tip is a matter for surgery.
Medical rhinoplasty is an injection without a scalpel, temporary, for small touch-ups. Surgical rhinoplasty, performed under anaesthesia by a surgeon, remodels the structure of the nose durably and can correct breathing, with greater after-effects and risks.
The injections are brief and generally well tolerated. Comfort measures, such as an anaesthetic cream, can be discussed at the consultation.
Swelling, redness and bruising are common and temporary; asymmetry or nodules are possible. The most serious risk, which is rare, is occlusion of a vessel, hence the importance of a trained doctor and a prior consultation.
Contact the clinic or emergency services immediately in case of sharp pain, white or purplish skin or visual disturbance: prompt treatment is needed.
The price is given by the clinic after assessment, as it depends on the product and the amount needed. A detailed quote is given before any procedure; there is no single displayed price.
It can be, depending on the case, to locate vessels and visualise a product already injected. It is painless and without radiation, and does not make the procedure risk-free: limits and risks are explained beforehand.
