TrueNose is an innovative new rhinoplasty procedure that offers individuals an alternative to traditional surgical methods for reshaping and enhancing the nose. We are thrilled to announce that Blackhawk Plastic Surgery & MedSpa was recently approved as the only TrueNose provider in the entire San Francisco Bay Area.
TrueNose employs the use of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to reshape and refine the nose. Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, TrueNose does not involve incisions, bone restructuring, or lengthy recovery periods. Instead, a physician or skilled aesthetic practitioner strategically injects the filler into specific areas of the nose to address concerns such as a dorsal hump, nasal asymmetry, or a drooping tip. The procedure allows for precise sculpting, resulting in a naturally balanced appearance. Additionally, TrueNose is a minimally invasive procedure and provides instant results.
One of the primary advantages of TrueNose is its non-surgical nature. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, requiring only a short office visit. Another benefit is the ability to customize the results. The physician or skilled practitioner can precisely adjust the volume, shape, and contour of the nose to meet the patient’s unique preferences and facial features. TrueNose also allows for subtle enhancements, making it ideal for individuals seeking minor corrections or adjustments to their appearance.
The TrueNose procedure begins with a consultation where the patient’s concerns and desired outcomes are discussed. During the treatment, the practitioner will sometimes administer a local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience. Using precise injection techniques, dermal filler is strategically used to reshape and refine the nose. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete and patients can resume their regular activities immediately after.
While TrueNose offers numerous benefits, it is important to understand its limitations. The results of non-surgical rhinoplasty are temporary, lasting anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the individual and the amount of filler used. This means that maintenance treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired appearance over time. TrueNose is suitable for individuals seeking subtle enhancements but may not be appropriate for significant changes or restructuring. In such cases, traditional surgical rhinoplasty may be recommended.
TrueNose represents an exciting advancement in the field of rhinoplasty, offering individuals a non-surgical alternative to reshape and enhance their noses. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for TrueNose or other rhinoplasty procedures is to schedule a complimentary consultation where we can discuss the procedure and your desired outcome.
