Non Surgical Nose Job in Los Angeles
If you live in or around Los Angeles and consider having a surgical nose job done, read this first. There is a safe, less costly and immediate alternative to traditional nose jobs. A non-surgical nose job is a painless procedure which requires only 15-30 minutes for a successful completion. Developed and refined by Dr. Alexander Rivkin, the procedure helps you to improve your nose appearance without surgery. Non-surgical nose job is a simple reshaping procedure that uses advanced facial fillers such as Restylane, Artefill or Radiesse. Parts of the nose can be made larger / straighter with fillers; however a reduction in the nose size cannot be done with a non-surgical nose job.
Dr. Rivkin will inject the selected combination of fillers into the places where reshaping is required. His approach is to use the procedure to bring the nose to harmony with the rest of the face and therefore make you look more attractive and contribute to your self-confidence. You can look in the mirror while undergoing the procedure and can control the results of the procedure by making suggestion on which parts you need to further enhance. Radiesse is the #1 filler material used for doing non-surgical nose job in Los Angeles and it consists of cellulose and calcium. The procedure does not require any kind of allergy testing prior to the procedure and there are no adverse effects reported for patients who underwent this procedure.
The filler material used to perform the non-surgical nose job will not move from one place to the other or lump up inside the tissues of the nose. When this material starts to dissolve, it is distributed symmetrically and evenly in the body. Breaking down of the filler material takes place naturally in the body and there will be no trace of the material inside the body as it disappears gradually within a month. This Los Angeles nose job procedure generally does not cause any kind of swelling or bruising and patients can go back for work immediately after the procedure.
Non-surgical nose job results will last for ten months to a year if the filler used is Radiesse and in the case of Restylane results often last for eight months. FDA also approved the injectable filler Artefill to be used in non-surgical nose job procedures in the U.S. market. Some doctors are using silicone as the filler, but due to safety concerns Silicone is not recommended. Artefill is a safe alternative when used precisely by an experienced doctor such as Dr. Rivkin. Artefill consists of methyl methacrylate in bovine collagen carrier, thus it requires a collagen skin test before it is used in your procedure. When Artefill is used carefully for this Los Angeles nose job procedure, it provides a permanent effect that is the equivalent of a surgical rhinoplasty.
Non-surgical nose job is simpler than surgical nose jobs and therefore this procedure can be done by cosmetic physicians who were trained in the technique. Experience should be considered while considering a doctor for the procedure. Dr. Rivkin has been performing non-surgical nose jobs in Los Angeles for the last seven years and he has completed successfully treating thousands of patients.

He will examine your nose, explain the procedure and what type of changes will be made to your nose. Dr. Rivkin will indentify the best mix of injection fillers to meet your individual needs.
