4-Dimension Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

The Asian nose commonly presents with platyrrhine issues: low radix, wide nostrils, broad tip and disproportionate nasal length to height ratio. The 4D NSR addresses these components to achieve a harmonious nasal profile, both from the front as well as the side views.

How does 4D NSR improve my nose?

4D NSR is designed to elevate the radix (nose bridge), refine nostril width, enhance tip projection, and achieve an optimal length-to-height ratio. This innovative technique yields striking yet naturally appearing results, seamlessly blending with your facial features.

Is it painful?

The procedure is remarkably gentle, leveraging advanced technology and medical expertise to ensure minimal discomfort. During your consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to witness firsthand how patients experience little to no pain, fostering confidence in the process.

How is the procedure performed?

Following localized anesthesia, a combination of internal suture-lifting and optional filler/fat-grafting techniques is employed to sculpt the nose bridge, tip, and nostrils. Recovery is swift, with most swelling subsiding within 3-5 days.

What is the downtime and recovery like?

Downtime is brief, with patients typically resuming normal activities shortly after the procedure. While minor swelling may persist temporarily, the results manifest with remarkable clarity, reflecting the refined contours of the nose.

Is it safe? What are the risks?

4D NSR is a safe procedure, minimizing risks such as infection or unnatural outcomes by abstaining from permanent implant materials like silicone. While bruising or swelling may occur in a minority of cases, serious complications are exceedingly rare.

Comparison with other procedures

4D NSR essentially is able to deliver the results of a surgical rhinoplasty but without the risks of general anaesthesia, incisions and permanent implant materials. There is also hence no risk of any visible scars occurring. There is also no risk of thread extrusion (as in the HIKO Threads procedure) or widening of the radix (as in nose fillers). There is also no risk of accidental blindness, a known complication of nose filler procedures.

Hiko Nose Thread Lift

Dissolvable threads placed along the bridge and tip lift and define the nose. Results are temporary.

Nose Fillers

Filler adds height to the bridge or tip. Results are temporary, and filler in the nose carries a rare risk of blocked blood vessels.

Surgical Rhinoplasty

Surgery reshapes the bone and cartilage of the nose. Results are long lasting, with a longer recovery than non-surgical options.

What are the disadvantages of 4D NSR?

There is only one disadvantage of the 4D NSR procedure: it doesn’t last forever.

In order to maintain the results, this procedure needs to be repeated once every 1-2 years. Slightly longer than HIKO Threads, much longer than fillers, but a lot shorter than a surgically inserted silicone/Gore-Tex implant (which is basically forever).
