There are a variety of non-surgical options available to reshape the appearance of one’s nose and make subtle changes to the dorsum and tip of the nose without the need for surgery. These procedures, often referred to as an injectable rhinoplasty procedure, is typically executed with hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
Who Is a Candidate for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
If you are looking to enhance the shape of your nose in one or more of the following ways, you may be a candidate for a non-surgical nose job:
Increasing the height of the dorsum on the bridge of the nose
Adding shape and definition to the tip of the nose
Using filler to straighten the bridge and correct a dorsal hump
Fixing the appearance of a crooked nose by adding balance and improving symmetry
Improving irregularities or deformities from a previous rhinoplasty
Recovery from a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
After the non-surgical nose job, patients are pleased to discover they can resume their normal activities immediately. The results are also visible right away, which gives instant gratification. One may experience minor bruising, mild swelling, redness and tenderness (especially at the tip), all of which should resolve within 24 hours. The results of a non-surgical rhinoplasty will last about 10 months to one year.
After the procedure, you can continue your normal skincare routine. Exercise and alcohol intake should be avoided for at least 24 hours following the injection. We also advise that you refrain from wearing heavy sunglasses for at least one week.
