Nose Filler

The nose is widely regarded as the most prominent feature of our face. As a result, it is common to notice even minor imperfections as opposed to desirable features. Noses come in different shapes and sizes which present from birth, such as crooked noses or excessively large or small noses or even minor abnormalities that can exert a disproportionate influence on one’s confidence and self-esteem. The procedure of rhinoplasty or nose job surgery is commonly performed to address both aesthetic and/or functional aspects of the nose. Rhinoplasty can be a highly effective procedure and has evolved from a primitive procedure first performed thousands of years to a highly intricate and advanced procedure today. However, rhinoplasty is still a major undertaking, and many patients desire only subtle changes and often are not keen on the idea of a full surgical rhinoplasty.

Modern aesthetic techniques have advanced at such a pace that there is now a whole range of non-invasive options for optimising facial aesthetics without the need for invasive surgery. Although many problems can only be corrected with a surgical rhinoplasty, minor changes can now be corrected with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which can be injected as an outpatient procedure. Our expert rhinoplasty surgeons now offer the less invasive option of a non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a 15-minute nose job’. The non-surgical rhinoplasty is a much more affordable treatment compared with surgical rhinoplasty and doesn’t involve any incisions or scars. However, unlike surgical rhinoplasty, results are temporary in nature, and nose filler injections need to be performed at regular intervals to maintain the results.

A non-surgical nose reshaping procedure is also referred to as a “liquid nose job” and involves the precise injection of nose filler containing hyaluronic acid into parts of the nose which require correction, leading to a change in the shape. A non-surgical nose job treatment can enhance the prominence of the tip, or even raise the tip if preferred, dorsal hump correction and augmentation of the nasal bridge. The procedure is able to smoothen out any irregularities or bumps and enhance volume and restore nasal symmetry. The objective of treatment is to create a more visually pleasing and naturally appearing nose that appears in harmony with the rest of the face. Unlike a surgical rhinoplasty, the results of a non-surgical nose job are immediately noticeable. The duration of the results can be up to 12 months. For patients who are unsure about undergoing a surgical nose job, a non-surgical nose job is an excellent tester treatment to address parts of the nose you are unhappy with before considering more permanent changes with a surgical rhinoplasty.

A non-surgical nose job is not suitable for everyone. For patients who are more concerned about the size of their nose rather than the shape or for patients who are looking for significant changes to the structure of the nose, then a surgical rhinoplasty may be more appropriate. At your consultation with an expert rhinoplasty surgeon at Centre for Surgery, you will receive information on all the possible treatment options and what could work best for you to achieve the ideal result.

A non-surgical nose job, also known as a liquid rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that uses injectable fillers to reshape the nose without the need for surgery. There are several benefits of this procedure, including:

1. Minimally invasive: A non-surgical nose job is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require incisions or a prolonged recovery period. This means that there is less pain and discomfort associated with the procedure, and patients can return to their normal activities soon after the treatment.
2. Immediate results: Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, a non-surgical nose job can provide immediate results. This means that patients can see the changes to their noses immediately after the procedure and can make any necessary adjustments.
3. No anaesthesia required: A non-surgical nose job does not require general anaesthesia, which can reduce the risk of complications associated with the procedure.
4. Low risk of complications: A non-surgical nose job is considered a safe and effective procedure with a low risk of complications.
5. Customisable: A non-surgical nose job can be customized to achieve the desired results, which means that the procedure can be tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
6. Cost-effective: A non-surgical nose job is generally considered to be more cost-effective than surgical rhinoplasty, as it requires less time, less equipment and no general anaesthesia.
7. Non-permanent: Non-surgical nose job is a non-permanent solution, which means that the results of the treatment will fade over time and require maintenance.

It is important to note that non-surgical nose jobs are not suitable for individuals who have severe nasal deformities or breathing issues or for those who are looking for a significant reshaping of their noses. Such cases require surgical rhinoplasty. Additionally, it’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure and to understand that the results are not permanent and that touch-up treatments may be required to maintain the desired appearance.

Is surgical rhinoplasty a better option?

Rhinoplasty and liquid nose job (non-surgical rhinoplasty) are two different procedures that are used to improve the appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions and reshaping the underlying bone and cartilage, while a liquid nose job is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting fillers into the nose to reshape it.

While both procedures can be effective in improving the appearance of the nose, there are some key differences between them that may make rhinoplasty a more effective option for certain individuals. These include:

1. Long-lasting results: Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that can provide long-lasting results, with many patients experiencing improvement in the appearance of their nose for many years. In contrast, a liquid nose job is a temporary procedure that typically lasts between 6-12 months before the fillers are absorbed by the body and the effects wear off.
2. Ability to address complex nasal issues: Rhinoplasty is a more comprehensive procedure that can address a wide range of nasal issues, including changes to the bone and cartilage structure, size, shape, and symmetry of the nose. In contrast, a liquid nose job is limited in the types of changes that can be made and may not be effective for more complex nasal issues.
3. Customisation: Rhinoplasty is a highly customisable procedure that can be tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals. The surgeon can use a variety of techniques to achieve the desired results and create a natural-looking nose that is in harmony with the rest of the face. In contrast, a liquid nose job is a more limited procedure that may not be able to achieve the same level of customisation as rhinoplasty.

A non-surgical nose job, also known as a “liquid nose job,” is a cosmetic procedure that uses injectable dermal fillers to reshape the nose without the need for surgery. There are several types of injectable fillers that can be used for this purpose, including:

1. Hyaluronic acid fillers: These fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are made from a natural substance found in the body and are commonly used to add volume to the nose. They are considered safe and effective, and the results typically last for 6 to 12 months.
2. Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers: These fillers, such as Radiesse, are made from a mineral that is found in the bones and is used to add volume and structure to the nose. They are considered to be longer lasting than hyaluronic acid fillers, and the results typically last for up to 2 years.
3. Poly-L-lactic acid fillers: These fillers, such as Sculptra, are made from a synthetic material and are used to stimulate the production of collagen in the nose, which can help to improve the shape and contour of the nose. The results can take a few weeks to be visible and can last up to 2 years.

It’s important to note that non-surgical nose jobs are generally considered to be less invasive than surgical nose jobs, but they also tend to be less effective and long-lasting. Additionally, it’s important to find a qualified and experienced injector to help you achieve natural-looking results.

A non-surgical nose job, also known as a liquid rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that uses injectable fillers to reshape the nose without the need for surgery. The ideal candidates for this procedure are individuals who are looking to make minor adjustments to the shape of their nose, rather than those who are looking for a complete reshaping of their nose.

1. People looking to improve the appearance of a small hump or bump on the nose. A non-surgical nose job can be used to smooth out small bumps or humps on the nose, which can help to create a more symmetric and balanced appearance.
2. People who want to straighten a slightly crooked nose. A non-surgical nose job can be used to straighten a slightly crooked nose, which can help to create a more symmetric and balanced appearance.
3. People who want to improve the shape of the tip of the nose. A non-surgical nose job can be used to reshape the tip of the nose, which can help to create a more defined and shapely appearance.
4. People who want a subtle change to their nose. Non-surgical nose job is ideal for those who want a subtle change to their nose, as the results are less dramatic than surgical rhinoplasty.
5. People who want a non-permanent solution. Non-surgical nose job is a non-permanent solution, as the results of the treatment will fade over time and require maintenance.

It’s important to note that non-surgical nose jobs are not suitable for individuals who have severe nasal deformities or breathing issues, or for those who are looking for a significant reshaping of their nose. Such cases require surgical rhinoplasty. Additionally, it’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure, and to understand that the results are not permanent and that touch-up treatments may be required to maintain the desired appearance.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as “liquid nose job,” is a cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to reshape and enhance the appearance of the nose without the need for surgery. The procedure is typically done in a doctor’s office and takes about 30 minutes to complete.

• Consultation: The first step is to have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon or aesthetic practitioner to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. They will examine your nose and discuss your desired outcome with you.
• Preparation: Before the procedure, the practitioner will clean your nose and may apply a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort.
• Injection: The practitioner will then use a very fine needle to inject the dermal filler into specific areas of the nose, such as the bridge, tip, or nostrils. The filler is usually made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that helps to add volume and hydration.
• Shaping: The practitioner will then gently shape and mould the filler to achieve the desired outcome.
• Recovery: After the procedure, there may be some slight swelling and redness, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days. There is no downtime associated with non-surgical rhinoplasty, and you can return to your normal activities immediately.

It’s important to note that non-surgical rhinoplasty is considered a temporary solution, and results typically last for about 6-12 months before the filler needs to be reinjected. It is also important to find a qualified practitioner for this procedure as it can have some serious consequences if not done properly.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a “non-surgical nose job” or “liquid nose job,” is a cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to reshape the nose without the need for surgery. While this procedure can be a convenient and less invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty, there are still risks involved.

Some of the risks associated with non-surgical rhinoplasty include:

• Bruising and swelling: As with any injection, there is a risk of bruising and swelling at the injection site. These side effects are generally temporary and should resolve within a few days.
• Allergic reactions: As dermal fillers are made from various materials, there is a small risk of an allergic reaction to the filler.
• Infection: Anytime the skin is punctured, there is a risk of infection. To reduce the risk of infection, make sure the practitioner performing the procedure is licensed and follows proper sterilisation techniques.
• Lumps or unevenness: The filler used in non-surgical rhinoplasty can create lumps or unevenness in the nose if not injected correctly.
• Migration of filler: The filler used in non-surgical rhinoplasty can migrate from the injection site if not injected correctly, which can cause asymmetry or other issues.
• Unsatisfying results: Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not as precise as surgical rhinoplasty and may not produce the desired results.

It’s important to note that non-surgical rhinoplasty can only make subtle changes to the shape of the nose, and it may not be suitable for those looking for more dramatic changes. It’s also important to choose a practitioner who is licensed and experienced in performing non-surgical rhinoplasty to reduce the risk of complications.

In conclusion, non-surgical rhinoplasty is a relatively safe and convenient procedure, but it still carries some risks. It is essential to be aware of the potential risks and to choose an experienced practitioner. Consultation with a specialist plastic surgeon or a facial plastic surgeon is highly recommended before considering this procedure.
