Non-surgical Medical Treatments and Interventions for Nasal Reshaping

In this presentation, Dr. Sabrina Fabi discusses non-surgical medical treatments for nasal reshaping, highlighting the effectiveness of techniques involving toxin injections and energy-based devices. She emphasizes the importance of the nose in forming first impressions and notes that non-surgical rhinoplasty often has a higher satisfaction rate compared to surgical options, which offer only about 66% satisfaction based on existing literature. Dr. Fabi explains that while injectable fillers are popular for nasal augmentation, they come with risks, and not everyone needs augmentation. Instead, refining techniques using neuromodulators, lasers, and energy-based devices can optimize nasal appearance. She elaborates on specific techniques, including treating the nasal muscles with targeted toxin injections to address issues like tip droop and widening of the nasal Ala. Combining these methods with treatments such as erbium ablative laser resurfacing and microfocus ultrasound can yield significant improvements in nose shape and texture. Dr. Fabi demonstrates the efficacy of these techniques with case studies showing favorable outcomes, particularly for patients seeking non-invasive options or wanting to complement previous surgical procedures. She concludes by advocating for further research to enhance practices and offers strategies for maintaining optimal results without waiting for more severe nasal conditions to develop.
