The nose is a central visual feature of the face leading many patients wishing to improve their facial esthetic appearance to undergo rhinoplasty. Increasingly more patients are seeking non-surgical alternatives such as hyaluronic acid filler injections. These treatments have the ability to profoundly impact patients' esthetic appearance and first impressions.
To evaluate the effects of hyaluronic acid filler injection in non-surgical nasal augmentation on first impressions, quality of life, and to evaluate treatment efficacy in reducing the height of the nasal dorsal convexity.
Ten female subjects underwent small-particle hyaluronic acid filler injection into the nasal soft tissues. Photographs of the subjects were taken at baseline and post-treatment after achieving an optimal correction result. Patients reported satisfaction with outcomes using a validated patient-reported outcome measurement tool. Blinded evaluators were used to assess first impressions across specifically defined categories using the baseline and post-treatment photographs. The height of the pre and post-injection nasal dorsal convexity was compared.
All patients experienced a statistically significant reduction in the height of their dorsal nasal convexity. There was significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes based on all measures of the FACE-Q scale. A total of 224 evaluators completed blinded assessments of first impressions. Mean first impressions in all eight categories, along with overall first impression score showed statistically significant improvement following treatment.
Hyaluronic acid filler injections for non-surgical nasal reshaping are a safe and effective method to improve perceived first impressions and to improve patient-reported self-esteem and esthetic satisfaction with their nose.
鼻子是面部的一个重要视觉特征,许多希望改善面部美观的患者选择接受鼻整形术。越来越多的患者正在寻求非手术替代方案,如透明质酸填充剂注射。这些治疗方法有能力深刻影响患者的美观和第一印象。
评估透明质酸填充剂注射在非手术性鼻隆突中的效果,包括对第一印象、生活质量的影响,并评估治疗效果以降低鼻背凸度的高度。
10 名女性患者接受了小颗粒透明质酸填充剂注射到鼻软组织中。在达到最佳矫正效果后,对患者进行了基线和治疗后拍摄。患者使用经过验证的患者报告结局测量工具报告对结果的满意度。使用基线和治疗后照片,盲法评估者根据特定定义的类别评估第一印象。比较注射前后鼻背凸度的高度。
所有患者的鼻背凸度高度均有统计学显著降低。基于 FACE-Q 量表的所有测量指标,患者报告的结局均有显著改善。共有 224 名评估者完成了盲法第一印象评估。在所有八个类别中的平均第一印象,以及整体第一印象评分,在治疗后均显示出统计学显著改善。
透明质酸填充剂注射用于非手术性鼻整形术是一种安全有效的方法,可以改善第一印象,并提高患者的自尊心和对鼻子的审美满意度。
