New Research Evaluates Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Using HA Filler in Asian Patients
Newly published data in the Plastic and Aesthetic Nursing journal indicates the anatomical and procedural nuances that are critical for achieving optimal results in nonsurgical rhinoplasty (NSR) using hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler. Authors Jovian Wan, MBChB, and Kyu-Ho Yi, MD, PhD, suggest future research should focus on refining injection techniques and exploring new filler formulations to enhance the safety and efficacy of NSR in Asian populations.1
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty has gained popularity because it offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical rhinoplasty with reduced downtime. This review highlights the application of HA fillers in NSR, particularly for Asian patients, highlighting techniques and considerations tailored to the unique nasal anatomy of the Asian population.
The specific nasal characteristics of East Asian individuals is evaluated and the clinical techniques for successful filler application are discussed. The authors elaborate on 5 primary subcategories of HA filler-based NSA: nasal dorsum augmentation, glabella correction, nasal tip correction, columella correction, and nasolabial angle correction, emphasizing the importance of using biphasic HA fillers with large particle sizes to mitigate risks such as swelling and lateral expansion.1
