Hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. It is painless, non-traumatic, and leaves no scars on the skin, making it popular among beauty-conscious women. However, the results are not permanent and require regular injections to maintain the desired effect.
What precautions should be taken with hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty?
1. Never inject excessive amounts of hyaluronic acid
Some individuals mistakenly believe more injections yield better results. However, exceeding 100 milliliters can cause vascular necrosis or granuloma formation in the face. Strictly follow your doctor's instructions for appropriate dosage—avoid rushing for quick results.
2. Avoid frequent hyaluronic acid injections
Some individuals may feel the injected area is cold or unsatisfied with the results, leading them to seek frequent injections. However, repeated injections can cause severe damage to nerves and blood vessels. Additionally, prolonged injections in the nasal area may result in unevenness due to uneven distribution of the filler.
3. Avoid water contact for 48 hours post-injection
Keep the injection site dry for two days after hyaluronic acid treatment. Water may introduce bacteria to the wound, causing infection. Infection not only compromises aesthetics but also shortens the treatment's longevity.
4. Avoid exaggerated facial expressions for three days post-injection
Refrain from making exaggerated facial expressions for three days after hyaluronic acid injection. Minimize activities that stretch facial muscles, such as laughing or crying, as these frequent movements can destabilize the filler and hinder proper shaping and stabilization of the nasal bridge.Additionally, avoid direct pressure on the injection site with your hands; instead, use adhesive tape to secure the area.
4. Avoid saunas for one week after hyaluronic acid injection Refrain from saunas for one week post-injection. Results become visible only after a period of time, not immediately after injection. Saunas before the hyaluronic acid has fully stabilized can cause significant loss of the filler, shortening its longevity.
5. Avoid taking blood-activating and stasis-resolving medications within one week of injection
Do not take blood-activating and stasis-resolving medications within one week of hyaluronic acid injection. These medications accelerate local blood circulation, which is detrimental to stabilizing the hyaluronic acid and may hasten its absorption.
Friendly Reminder
Individual body types vary significantly in how long hyaluronic acid results last. Generally, individuals with slimmer builds tend to have faster metabolism, absorbing hyaluronic acid more quickly. After treatment, avoid staying up late and excessive alcohol consumption, as these accelerate metabolic processes.
