A non-surgical nose job using dermal filler is a non-surgical procedure with less downtime than traditional rhinoplasty. While it’s considered a walk-in, walk-out treatment, proper aftercare is essential to ensure your safety, support recovery, and maintain long-lasting results.

If you’re planning to undergo this procedure at Cosmos Clinic Adelaide, here’s what you should know about aftercare.

Immediate Aftercare: The First Hour

It’s normal to experience mild side effects after your treatment, including:

  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Minor tenderness or bruising

These effects typically subside within a few days. You can use an ice pack or arnica cream to minimise bruising and reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relief may also help, but always consult with your injector for the best options. If symptoms persist beyond 3 days, contact the team at Cosmos Clinic Adelaide for advice.

First 10 Hours: Do’s and Don’ts

To achieve the best results and avoid complications, follow these guidelines during the first 10 hours after your procedure:

Avoid Touching the Treated Area
While you may be tempted to feel the treated area, it’s crucial to avoid touching, scrunching, or applying pressure to your nose. The fillers are still settling, and unnecessary pressure can alter the results.

Steer Clear of Tight-Fitting Glasses
Avoid wearing tight eyewear that puts pressure on your nose bridge or tip.

Skip Certain Products and Supplements
Your injector may recommend avoiding certain topical products like anti-wrinkle creams or serums for a few days. Similarly, it’s best to stop taking supplements like St. John’s Wort, as they may interfere with healing.

Gentle Cleansing and Makeup
You can gently wash your face and apply light makeup or sunscreen, but confirm this with your injector.

Avoid Alcohol and Intense Exercise
These can increase blood flow, potentially worsening bruising or swelling.

Stay Away from Heat
Avoid saunas, sunbathing, or hot tubs until redness and swelling have resolved.

Medications and Recovery

If you’re taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin, be aware that they may increase bruising and delay recovery. This should be discussed with your injector during your consultation.

When to Contact Cosmos Clinic

While most patients recover smoothly, it’s important to monitor for any unusual symptoms. Contact Cosmos Clinic immediately if you experience:

  • Severe pain
  • Fever or chills
  • Redness or warmth that worsens
  • Discolouration or blotches in untreated areas
