Many people are looking for alternate approaches to surgical rhinoplasty. This might be due to the fact that traditional rhinoplasty long recovery period, the level of pain patients have to endure as well as the high cost of the operation. Currently, there are now non surgical rhinoplasty surgery that takes away this set of disadvantages although it has its own cons as well. In this article, we will talk about traditional rhinoplasty vs non surgical rhinoplasty.
Traditional rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult operation to perform. You need good experienced surgeons to really have the best results. Hence, prices are always very expensive, averaging about nearly USD$6,000 for a good doctor. (Note that laser rhinoplasty is even more expensive). Non surgical rhinoplasty on the other hand is more affordable. Its average cost is around USD$3,000 which is nearly half than what you need to pay for traditional rhinoplasty.
Recovery period wise, the surgical method will always take a longer time. On average, a patient needs about 7 to 14 days of recovery time before being able to resume this normal work. Contrasting that, the non surgical approach only requires a single. Patients typically can finish the procedure within the hour and they can go back to their normal routine immediately after if they desired.
While it sounds like non surgical rhinoplasty is a better choice overall, there is one drawback you need to consider and that is permanence. This new method uses filler to shape your nose, rather than structurally alternating your nose bone. Fillers however are not permanent. The most commonly used HA filler can only last for about 6 to 8 months, meaning the patient might need to refill their filler. Fortunately, there is a new type of filler called Artefill that can be more permanent. It is slightly more expensive than HA filler but most would be willing to pay the higher price in return for a more permanent effect for their nose operation.Surgical
