Non-surgical rhinoplasty, best known as “nose filler” has become one of the most popular procedures for now, thanks to celebrities and social media. The reason is both aesthetic and functional – people often require nose jobs to get rid of the bump on their nose, to make it straighter or fix breathing problems. In order to find out more about non-surgical rhinoplasty, we listed everything important you need to know.

What exactly is non-surgical rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical nose job is a minimally invasive procedure applying filler injections into the nose to achieve the required changes in shape, height or nasal cavity. By carefully and accurately injected doses of fillers, even the most hooked noses can turn to straight and with applying filler around the nose tip, it can look thinner and more refined.

What benefits non-surgical rhinoplasty has?

Opposed to surgical rhinoplasty that takes at least a month or more to recover from and is not reversible, non-surgical nose procedures can be done in 10-15 minutes with less pain, less downtime and better results. In addition, the upshot of surgeries often fall short of expectations and correction can be painful and uncomfortable.

How is the procedure done?

The patient lays down and after cleaning the surface, the filler gets introduced into a thin needle. Then, just like sculpting, the filler gets injected into the required areas through the thin needle, and after some final moulding, the patient gets aftercare information. The whole procedure takes only 10-15 minutes and results are immediate.

Does it hurt?

Though the procedure is pretty painless, some patients can experience a little discomfort during the process. Most modern fillers basically contain topical anaesthetic but according to the patient’s needs, additional anaesthetic can be applied. This only means an additional 10-15 minutes to the procedure.

How safe is this?

In fact, hyaluronic-acid based fillers are the most reliable, but no modern fillers are harmful for the body and they all get broken down and removed from the body naturally. Besides, fillers come in a form of a sterile gel produced in the laboratory.

Are there any side effects?

The worst side effects are the result of the injection and not the filler, including redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness. They all pass away in a few days but patients can usually get back to their daily routine in about an hour after the treatment.

How long results last?

Depending on the filler and the patient, non-surgical rhinoplasty usually lasts up to 12-18 months. With repeating the treatment, it can be easily extended.

What if you hate the results?

Luckily, since non-surgical nose fillers are not permanent, the worst thing can happen is to wait a few months until the filler wears off. In case you had a hyaluronic acid-based filler, it can be quickly removed by injecting an enzyme, called hyaluronidase that dissolves the filler and you can get back your original nose shape right away.

Since non-surgical rhinoplasty is a “lunch break” treatment today, the whole procedure is a simple process. Although, just like in case of every other cosmetic interventions, finding an experienced, certified professional is crucial.
