Nose tape is effective only if nasal surgery is performed and the tape is used to prevent nasal drooping and reduce the risk of bleeding.

Injection of nasal filler

One of the methods that has become very common today and is referred to as an alternative to nose surgery is nose filler injection. This method is recommended for people with hump nose or people with sunken nasal bone.

In this method, a gel containing hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite is injected into the nose in order to correct its shape. These substances increase the production of collagen and elastin of the skin, which are the building blocks of the skin and increase its elasticity.

Juvederm
Perlane
Restylane
