Comparative Study between Hyaluronic Acid and Fat in Rhinoplasty: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide high-quality evidence on patient satisfaction and complications of two non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures. All available online literature up to 2021 were searched utilizing keywords and MESH search phrases also used in the online databases. In addition, the reference lists of the systematic reviews included in the study were manually searched. The studies with greatest evidence were included to assess patient satisfaction and complication. Critical evaluation of the articles was done and MINORS scale was used for bias determination. Temporary redness in the skin, fluid accumulation, discoloration of skin, and post-procedure discomfort were all transient problems in all of the investigations. Vascular limitations and hematoma were identified as rare consequences. Non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments are both a good and less intrusive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty. However, there is a scarcity of experimental and prospective studies, so more number of trials to be carried out to determine the precision, efficacy, and adverse effects of non-surgical rhinoplasty.
