Flat Nose/Low Nasal Root

In general, Asians have flat noses that are too subtle to create a defined facial profile, giving an impression of a flat face or “ordinary” face. Nose is the most protruding part on the face. Having a straight, protruding nose in good ratio and angle can help define the entire face profile. Good news is you can create and obtain your ideal shape of nose through aesthetic treatments.

What is flat nose or low nasal root ?

Flat Nose can be determined by the nasal root, nasal bridge, and nasal tip.

Nasal root and nasal bridge are different regions of the nose but located closely to each other. Nasal root is the region between the inner corners of your eyes. The nasal bridge is the bony part of the nose, extending from the nasal root to the nasal tip. The shape of the nasal tip partially defines the contouring of the nose.

Causes

Flat nose (low nasal bridge) and low nasal root are common facial features for Asians, which is a natural and inborn characteristic.

Symptoms

The first sign is a low nasal root or low nasal bridge (flat nose). Interestingly, people who have a low nasal bridge usually have a low nasal root, however, people who have low nasal root do not necessarily have a low nasal bridge. The other sign is a blunt, round nasal tip. The last sign is a flat, saddle nose.

Affected people

Revealed from an online survey, most Chinese women are self-conscious about their noses due to their flatness. This facial feature is a common concern among Asians.

Treatment

Hyaluronic acid dermal filler is the safest treatment that provides you with an instant result for treating a flat nose. On the other hand, nose thread lift is an effective alternative to fixing a flat nose. Both treatments are recommended because they have little to no recovery time and low risk.

A. Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers-Nasal Reshaping

What is it?

Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronate, is naturally found in tissues and cells. In aesthetic treatment, hyaluronic acid can act as a filler and is injected into the dermis layer to fill up the folds/depressions or plump certain areas such as lips, cheeks, nose and chin. The injected hyaluronic acid will smooth and fill lines and wrinkles, and add volume to the face naturally. As hyaluronic acid can be naturally metabolised and will not remain in the body, there are no side effects of injecting HA. Also, having repeated courses of HA injection is safe and effective for long term results.

How does it work?

Hyaluronic acid dermal filler provides you with an immediate and comprehensive result of reshaping your nose. There are some nasal improvements it can make such as lifting the nasal root by adding volume to the region, reshaping the nasal bridge, columella nasi (the space between nostrils) and nasal base, and pumping up the fawn region (the region between eyebrows). A nose job will create a better-defined nasal shape and give fullness to the nose.

Procedure:

1. Face-to-face consultation: Confirmation of a detailed plan of injection areas and dosage after fully understanding the client’s conditions and desired results.

2. Pre-treatment preparation: Clean and disinfect the injection areas. Confirm the injection solution has not been opened.

3. Injection:Injecting the solution at the nasal parts which require reshaping. Massage the injection site while injecting in order to reshape the filler into a favorable shape.

4. Post-treatment care.

B. Nose Thread Lift

What is nose thread lift:

Thread lift is currently the most effective face lifting technique. By embedding threads (that can be absorbed and degraded in the body) to the dermis, which lifts the face according to the direction and interval of the threads, it stimulates the skin, and further activates fibroblasts to produce collagen.

How does it work:

The nose thread lift involves the procedure of embedding dissolvable threads that are made of PDO (Polydioxanone) into the nose. The threads will instantly lift and reshape the nose. Thanks to the fact that the treatment has little to no recovery time involved, and causes little pain, most clients can continue their life straight after it. Doctor will tailor a unique thread lift plan for each client depending on their actual situation.

Procedure:

1. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a unique treatment plan based on the client’s condition and desired results.

2. Apply anesthetic: Apply anesthetic externally. Clean and disinfect the areas to be embedded with threads.

3. Pre-treatment: Fully understand the treatment plan. Check the quality and quantity of the threads.

4. During treatment: Proceed with the treatment plan to embed threads.

5. Post-treatment precautions.
