A non-surgical rhinoplasty/nose job is an alternative for those wanting to change the size and/or shape of their nose without undergoing surgery. Using dermal fillers, this treatment can address minor irregularities with minimal downtime. At Cosmos Clinic, we aim to provide precise and effective results, tailored to each individual’s needs. Here’s what you need to know about this treatment.
What Is the Non-Surgical Nose Job Process Like?
The non-surgical nose job is performed using dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid.
At Cosmos Clinic, the treatment typically takes around 30 minutes:
- A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the nose to minimise discomfort.
- Once the area is prepared, the doctor injects the dermal fillers into precise locations to achieve the desired outcomes.
This is a medical treatment, so while it is quick, it still requires care and expertise. Patients are generally able to return to their usual activities on the same day.
What Can a Non-Surgical Nose Job Achieve?
The non-surgical nose job can:
- Smooth out bumps or dips along the bridge of the nose.
- Add subtle height to the nasal bridge.
- Change the appearance of the nasal tip.
How Does It Compare to Surgical Rhinoplasty?
While both options aim to change the size and/or shape of the nose, there are key differences:
- Scope of Results: Dermal fillers are for subtle adjustments to the nose. Surgical rhinoplasty may be necessary for functional issues or significant reshaping.
- Immediate Results: Non-surgical nose reshaping provides visible results immediately after treatment. Recovery from surgical rhinoplasty typically takes 7–10 days, with swelling taking several weeks to subside.
- Longevity: Results from dermal fillers generally last 18–24 months before touch-ups are required.
What Dermal Fillers Are Used?
At Cosmos Clinic, we use high-quality hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers for all non-surgical nose reshaping procedures. Hyaluronic acid is already produced by the body, which reduces the risk of adverse reactions and helps the fillers eventually absorb over time.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results of a non-surgical nose job typically last between 18–24 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed to sustain results.
Is There Downtime?
One of the key benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty is that there’s minimal downtime compared to surgical rhinoplasty. While some mild swelling or redness may occur around the treatment area, most patients are able to resume normal activities immediately.
How Much Does a Non-Surgical Nose Job Cost?
- Initial Consultation: $120–$150 (redeemable if you proceed with treatment).
- Treatment Cost: Starts from $700.
For many patients, this is more affordable than surgical rhinoplasty, which involves additional costs for surgery, anaesthesia, and recovery.
Are There Risks?
As with any medical treatment, a non-surgical nose job comes with some potential risks, though they are minimal when performed by an experienced and qualified practitioner. At Cosmos Clinic, patient safety is our top priority, and we take every precaution to ensure safe and effective results.
Here are some risks to be aware of:
- Swelling and Bruising
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is common and typically resolves within a few days. - Discomfort
Some tenderness in the treated area may occur, but this is usually mild and short-lived. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure. - Asymmetry
In rare cases, minor irregularities may occur. These can often be corrected with touch-up treatments to refine the results. - Vascular Complications
Although extremely rare, filler injections can affect nearby blood vessels, potentially leading to complications. Choosing an experienced doctor significantly reduces this risk. - Infection
As with any injectable procedure, there is a slight risk of infection. Sterile techniques are used to minimise this, and patients are provided with aftercare instructions to keep the area clean. - Filler Migration
In rare cases, the filler may move slightly from the injection site. This can typically be corrected with additional treatment or adjustments.
