Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. This would normally be performed under general anaesthesia. The use of fillers in the nose has become increasingly popular. Dermal fillers, made from hyaluronic acid, are commonly used for the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and lips.
These fillers can also be used to reshape the nose by performing a non-surgical rhinoplasty or filler rhinoplasty. This procedure can be performed without anaesthetic in clinic. The results are seen immediately and the recovery is much quicker than traditional rhinoplasty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of the filler rhinoplasty?
The non-surgical rhinoplasty is a quick minimally invasive procedure to reshape the nose. There is minimal downtime and recovery is quick.
How long do the results of filler rhinoplasty last?
The result from a filler rhinoplasty will depend on the type of filler used. Generally, most patients will have a result that lasts from about 9-12 months. There will be some patients in whom the results may last for a shorter or longer period.
What are the risks or complications of non-surgical rhinoplasty?
There may be some redness and swelling following the procedure but this usually settles quickly. Some patients may experience bruising but this usually also settles within a few days but may last longer. Very rarely, there is a risk of necrosis which is the death of the skin when the filler compromises the blood supply to the skin. It is, therefore, important that your injector is fully aware of the anatomy of the nose and its blood supply.
