These pioneering procedures at Auckland Cosmetic Medicine Clinic Ltd - Sapphire Appearance Medicine Clinic can give you an instant nose or chin enhancements so called non surgical rhinoplasty or genioplasty. The technique involves using Restylane Perlane® a dermal filler from Qmed now rebranded as Restylane Lyft® by Galderma. This is truly a lunch hour procedure as you can have the procedure completed within an hour. Your nose or chin will change before your eyes in this painless procedure. Noses can be tweaked so that they appear straight, humps can be hidden, or the tip of your nose can be subtly lifted. For suitable noses, by lifting the bridge of the nose will give the appearance of a slimmer nose.
Often it is important to not only enhance the bridge of your nose but also redefine the medial eyebrow, and also lift the tip of your nose so that the enhancement results in a finer looking nose. The procedure can be combined with eyebrow shaping using the same hyaluronic filler as well. Eyebrow shaping with Restylane Perlane now called Restylane Lyft®, can help to rasie and reshape your eyebrow as well as reduce hollowing in your eye socket region.
Dr Wong finds the nonsurgical nose jobs or rhinoplasty to be one of the most satisfying procedures for patients as you can instantly see the result whilst maintaining control over how the nose enhancement takes place. There is virtually no downtime, so that you can return to work the very same day.
Nonsurgical nose enhancement / nose jobs or nonsugical rhinoplasty can be combined together with facial shaping also known as nonsurgical facial slimming, to reduce benign massenteric hypertrophy with Botox® injections. Together with Belkyra® or using CoolTech® fat freezing means that there are many non surgical options to shape your face. The method of combining Botox® facial slimming with fat dissolving was first introduced to New Zealand by Dr Garsing Wong, together with Wen-Pei (Margaret) Chen, and their technique has been published in the prestigious peer reviewed medical journal in the June 2011 issue of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Vol 10, pages 93-96.

Non Surgical Chin augmentation - Non Surgical Genioplasty using Restylane Perlane® now rebranded as Restylane Lyft® can instantly reshape your chin in a safe, painless procedure in less than an hour. The shape of your face is influenced by the shape of your chin. If the chin is flat or small, with a little enhancement can make a noticeable difference in your appearance by redefining your jowl line. When a naturally looking curve is created, your face will appear more elongated and slimmer - thereby creating a crisper looking jowl line.

BACKGROUND
Rhinoplasty refers to the reshaping of your nose through surgery. At Auckland Cosmetic Medicine Clinic Ltd known as Sapphire Appearance Medicine Clinc, we offer a nonsurgical rhinoplasty ie reshaping your nose without surgery. Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty) was traditionally achieved using non biodegradable implants, but with the advent of safe biodegradable hyaluronic acid which is basically a long chain of sugar molecules which is naturally and slowly broken down to water, we can now offer a safe non-surgical method to reshape your nose or chin. Now you can have a nose-job without having any of the discomfort or surgical risk you will have if you opted for surgery. Topical anaesthetic is applied to the region for 20 minutes prior to the procedure. Both non surgical rhinoplasty and non surgical genioplasty can be completed within one hour. There is a small chance of having a tiny bruise as a result of the procedure.
HOW LONG DOES THE NON SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY / NOSE JOB OR GENIOPLASTY / CHIN AUGMENTATION LAST?
The non-surgical rhinoplasty / nose job or chin augmentation / genioplasty using Restylane Perlane or Restylane Lyft® can last for over one year. Dr Garsing Wong recommends that the procedure be repeated prior to the effect is fully gone.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Some patients develop a temporary redness from the topical anaesthetic which can vasodilate the skin (make your skin blush). The vasodilation fades after one hour. Very seldomly, have we had to avoid injecting into the nose tip due to technical reasons which can only be noted at the time of injecting, whereby even placement of the injection (without even injecting any product) causes blanching (whitening) of the area. If product is injected, and this blanching is noticed, then the product will need to be immediately dissolved using Hyalase® which will be administered immediately. It has been reported in the literature as well as other colleagues in New Zealand, of the product causing skin necrosis where the skin dies. This can be avoided by recognising the signs of ischaemia - pain, pallor or blotchy appearance of the skin - and then immediately dissolving the product with Hyalase® to the region.
There was a case of blindness that occurred in a patient who was injected with a hyaluronic filler to the nose in Auckland 2017(Clinic is not known). The risk for this is estimated to be 1:20,000. It is vital that this procedure is only carried out by a qualified practitioner who is experienced in this procedure and any emergency care that is required.

Some patients can experience bruising appearing the next day, which can be hidden using a concealer.

Note how the bridge of the nose has been lifted, this can also have the desirable effect of highlighting your eyes.

Dr Garsing Wong was given an award for his presentation on nonsurgical facial shaping at IMCAS, Paris, France on the 10th January 2008. There were more than 3000 international cosmetic and plastic surgical experts from more than 40 different countries in attendance at this prestigious international medical conference. The presentation demonstrated the technique that Dr Garsing Wong and Wen-Pei Margaret Chen developed using both Restylane Perlane® from Q-med and a HA from Allergan to non-surgically augment the chin as well as using fat dissolving injections to enhance the lower face of patients.
The overall result of having a non surgical chin augmentation is that your face can be elongated and refined before your eyes in a safe, non-surgical, comfortable fashion using Restylane Perlane® (Qmed) now rebranded as Restylane Lyft®.
In addition to placing dermal fillers to this region, we have been achieving enhanced results by tightening the surrounding skin using the newly introduced Venus Viva Diamond Polar Radiofrequency skin tightening device.
