What is a non-surgical nose job and how does it work?

A non-surgical nose job, also known as liquid rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to alter the shape and contour of the nose without surgery. During the procedure, a practitioner injects fillers into specific areas of the nose to correct minor imperfections, smooth bumps, and enhance overall symmetry.

How long do the results of a non-surgical nose job last?

The results of a non-surgical rhinoplasty typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors like metabolism. Regular touch-ups are required to maintain the desired appearance.

What are the benefits of a non-surgical nose job compared to surgical rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical nose jobs offer several benefits compared to surgical rhinoplasty. These include minimal downtime, lower cost, and immediate results. Additionally, non-surgical rhinoplasty is less invasive, involves fewer risks, and allows for adjustments over time.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with a non-surgical nose job?

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. Common side effects of non-surgical rhinoplasty include swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. Serious risks, although rare, can include infection or vascular complications. It's essential to choose a qualified practitioner to minimise these risks.

What types of fillers are used in a non-surgical nose job?

The most commonly used fillers for non-surgical rhinoplasty are hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane. These fillers are preferred for their safety, effectiveness, and reversibility. The choice of filler depends on the desired results and the practitioner's recommendation.

How long is the recovery time after a non-surgical nose job?

Recovery time after a non-surgical nose job is minimal. Most patients experience mild swelling and redness for a few days, but these effects usually subside quickly. Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, there is no need for a lengthy recovery period, and normal activities can be resumed almost immediately.

Can a non-surgical nose job correct a crooked nose or other structural issues?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty can address minor imperfections and asymmetry, such as smoothing bumps and enhancing nasal contours. However, it cannot correct major structural issues or significantly alter the size of the nose. For significant changes, surgical rhinoplasty may be required.

What should I expect during the non-surgical nose job procedure?

During a non-surgical nose job, Dr Goziem will first assess your nasal structure and discuss your goals. The procedure involves applying a numbing cream to minimize discomfort, followed by precise injections of fillers into specific areas of the nose. The process typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, and results are visible immediately.

Who is a good candidate for a non-surgical nose job?

Good candidates for a non-surgical nose job include individuals looking to address minor nasal imperfections without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates are those seeking to smooth bumps, enhance symmetry, or achieve subtle contour changes. It's important to have realistic expectations and to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if this procedure is suitable for you.
