What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a “liquid nose job” or “injectable rhinoplasty,” is a cosmetic procedure that aims to reshape and refine the appearance of the nose without the need for invasive surgery. Instead of altering the underlying nasal structure, this approach utilises dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, to strategically add volume and contour to specific areas of the nose.

The goal of non-surgical rhinoplasty is to address various aesthetic concerns, such as a dorsal hump, a crooked or asymmetrical nose, or a lack of definition in the nasal tip. By carefully injecting the dermal fillers, the practitioner can create the illusion of a more balanced, harmonious, and aesthetically pleasing nasal appearance.

Unlike traditional surgical rhinoplasty, which involves the permanent alteration of the nasal bone and cartilage, non-surgical rhinoplasty is a temporary and reversible solution. The results typically last between 6 to 18 months, after which the filler gradually breaks down and the nose returns to its original shape.

Benefits of a Non-Surgical Nose Job

1. Minimal Downtime: Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anaesthesia or extensive recovery time. Patients can often return to their normal activities within a few days, with minimal to no visible signs of the treatment.
2. Reversible Results: If you are unsatisfied with the outcome or wish to change the appearance of your nose further, the filler can be dissolved, allowing you to explore other options.
3. Customised Approach: Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a highly customisable solution, as the practitioner can precisely target and address specific areas of concern, tailoring the treatment to your individual needs and desired aesthetic goals.
4. Reduced Risks: Compared to traditional rhinoplasty surgery, non-surgical rhinoplasty carries a lower risk of complications, such as infection, bleeding, and scarring.

The Procedure of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

The non-surgical nose job procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Consultation: During the initial consultation, your practitioner will assess the current shape and structure of your nose, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a customised treatment plan.
2. Numbing: To ensure your comfort, the treatment area may be numbed with a topical anaesthetic or a series of small injections.
3. Filler Injection: The practitioner will carefully inject the dermal filler, often using a fine needle or cannula, into the targeted areas of the nose. This may include the bridge, the tip, or the nostrils, depending on your specific concerns.
4. Sculpting: The practitioner will gently massage and shape the filler to achieve the desired nasal contour and symmetry.
