If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your nose but don’t want to undergo surgery, a non-surgical nose job may be the solution for you. This procedure, also known as a liquid nose job or non-surgical rhinoplasty, can help reshape and enhance your nose without incisions or general anaesthesia. In this blog, our award-winning aesthetic practitioner Amish Patel shares his expert advice on one of our popular aesthetic treatments, nonsurgical rhinoplasty.

What Is A Non-Surgical Nose Job?

The non-surgical nose job involves using dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, to add volume and shape to specific areas of the nose. These dermal fillers are injected into the skin strategically to achieve the desired results.

One of the advantages of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is that filler injections are a minimally invasive procedure. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, no incisions or cutting are involved, which means there is less risk of complications and a shorter recovery time.

During the procedure, the doctor or medical practitioner will first assess your nose and discuss your desired results. They will then apply a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort during the injections. The dermal fillers are then injected into specific areas of the nose by your medical practitioner to reshape and enhance it.

What Should I Look For When Choosing A Liquid Nose Job Aesthetics Practitioner?

One crucial factor to consider before getting a non-surgical nose job is the blood supply to the nose. The nose has a complex network of blood vessels, and injecting fillers into this area is a medical procedure that can potentially cause skin necrosis (death of tissue) and vascular complications if not done correctly. It is essential to choose a skilled and experienced practitioner who understands nasal anatomy, your aesthetic goals, facial contouring, and how to avoid any risks and potential side effects.

Another factor to consider is the risk of infection. Although non-surgical nose jobs are generally safe and a great alternative to surgery, there is still a small risk of infection at the injection site. It is important to follow post-procedure care instructions to minimize this risk.

What Is The Downtime Of Nose Filler?

After getting a non-surgical nose job, you may experience minor swelling or bruising in the treated areas. However, this typically subsides within a few days to a week. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure, as there is no need for downtime or recovery. However, with all dermal filler treatments, we recommend refraining from exercise for at least 24 hours and avoiding drinking alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment. Refrain from taking hot baths, showers, and steam rooms for at least two weeks. Drinking lots of water is recommended to encourage good results, and sleeping on your back for at least one week post-treatment to allow the filler to settle correctly.

What Type Of Filler Is Used In A Non-Surgical Nose Job

We use a hyaluronic acid filler for your nose filler treatment. Due to its unique properties, hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used for nose filler treatments. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body, particularly in the skin, joints, and eyes. It can attract and hold water, providing hydration and volume to tissues.

When used as a dermal filler for the nose, hyaluronic acid can help reshape and enhance the nose’s appearance. It can address various concerns, such as smoothing out bumps, correcting asymmetry, improving the height or projection of the nasal bridge, and refining the tip of the nose. Different types of filler are used for other areas of the face, and the one used for the nose is thicker in consistency than those used for lips, for example.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are preferred for nose filler treatments for several reasons. Firstly, they are biocompatible, meaning they are well-tolerated by the body and have a low risk of allergic reactions. They also offer natural-looking results as hyaluronic acid closely resembles the natural hyaluronic acid found in the body.

Additionally, hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate results, allowing for immediate assessment and adjustments during the treatment. The effects typically last several months to a year, depending on the individual’s metabolism and the specific product used.

Overall, using hyaluronic acid-based fillers for nose filler treatments is a safe and effective option, offering patients the opportunity to achieve desired nasal enhancements with minimal risks and downtime.

Additionally, a non-surgical nose job procedure is a reversible treatment option. If you are unsatisfied with the results of your dermal filler procedure or if your non-surgical rhinoplasty preferences change over time, the non-surgical nose fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This gives you more flexibility and control over your appearance.
