Non-Surgical Nose Job Update
A nose job without surgery? At a recent meeting of the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, Alexander Rivcin, MD, presented results on a new procedure, "the non-surgical nose job". This paper highlights the 370 patients on whom he preformed the new procedure over the course of 3 and one-half years.
