Nose Sculpting
Also known as nose augmentation, many clients may opt for this procedure due to a desire for a more aesthetically-pleasing nose. A common attractive feature includes higher nose bridge, modifying asymmetry and correcting the nasal tip to a more proportionate size.
At H-II Clinic, we offer several types of surgical and non-surgical procedures to create the exact nose shape, height and definition as you desire.
Solution
Rhinoplasty
Commonly referred to as a nose job, rhinoplasty is a simple surgical procedure that alters the shape and the size of your nose. An ideal option for clients with a prominent bump, crooked nose bridge, wide nose tips or simply the desire to harmonise the size of the nose to the rest of the facial features, rhinoplasty can be performed simultaneously under one anesthetic. Results are permanent and require little maintenance over time.
H-II Clinic offers three types of rhinoplasty:
(1) Implant - Using implants designed with polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE), a nose implant is better in integrating with the underlying nasal tissues that in turn creates a more natural look to the overall nose.
(2) Ear Cartilage - Also known as auricular cartilage, a cartilage rhinoplasty procedure involves extracting the soft cartilage that lies towards the back of the external part of the ear and using it for minor augmentations to the nasal bridge and also for nasal tip reshaping.
(3) Rib Cartilage - This procedure harvests excess costal cartilage from the rib area and using it for dorsal augmentation due to its straight shape and structural strength.
Dermal Fillers
An effective sculpting method, this procedure can produce instant natural-looking results in a very short period of time. Dermal fillers are typically injectable gels designed to be injected into the skin to sculpt and lift certain areas of the face to lend definition to the facial area.
Upon injecting the dermal filler, the gel naturally integrates with water in the skin, resulting in a plumping effect to provide natural volume and height. The results are instantaneous — an enhanced and defined appearance, resulting in a noticeable height of the nose bridge. It is a simple and quick procedure that takes about 15 minutes with minimal downtime.
DOWNTIME: Minimal to 3 Days (subject to individual)
PAIN: ●●○○○ (numbing cream will be applied)
TREATMENT TIME: 30-45 minutes
Thread Lift
A popular non-invasive method to increase definition without the use of scalpels or incisions, thread lifting is a procedure to insert special threads under the fat tissue of the skin. The resulting outcome creates a lifting effect for an instant defined nose contour. With just one procedure, you can transform a flat nose into a more sculpted nose that continues to improve its appearance over the next few months as the skin produces more collagen.
DOWNTIME: 2-3 Days (subject to individual)
PAIN: ●○○○○ (minimal to no)
TREATMENT TIME: 30 - 45 minutes
Recovery
Patient should expect bruising and swelling around the eyes that will get better after day 3 post-surgery. Wearing a nasal splint for the first week is recommended. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 3 to 6 weeks after the procedure. Patient should note that the final shape of the nose can be seen only after it has completely healed.
