Non-surgical rhinoplasty is ideal for those seeking subtle yet impactful improvements to their nasal profile.
What is Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a liquid nose job, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape and contour of the nose without surgery. This treatment involves the injection of dermal fillers to correct nasal irregularities, smooth out bumps, and improve overall nasal symmetry. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking subtle adjustments to their nose without the downtime and risks associated with surgical rhinoplasty.
How Does Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Work?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty works by using dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid to reshape the nose. The filler is carefully injected into specific areas of the nose to achieve the desired contour and symmetry. This minimally invasive procedure can correct a variety of nasal imperfections, such as a dorsal hump, asymmetry, or a drooping nasal tip. Our London-based experts ensure precise and safe application tailored to your needs.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Protocol?
The treatment protocol for non-surgical rhinoplasty at our London and Dublin clinics begins with an initial consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your suitability for the procedure. The filler is then injected using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, with immediate visible results. Post-treatment care includes avoiding applying excessive pressure to the area and refraining from wearing glasses or sunglasses for at least 24 hours to prevent pressure on the treated area.
Types of filler used in Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?
We only ever used hyaluronic-based acid gels in our signature non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments. This is to ensure that any rare complications can be managed appropriately with the use of hyaluronidase, that breaks down hyaluronic based gels and allow for complete peace of mind when undergoing this procedure. The best type of filler for non-surgical rhinoplasty depends on your aesthetic goals, nasal anatomy, and personal preferences. During your consultation at our London and Dublin clinics, we will discuss the different options and recommend the most suitable filler to achieve your desired outcome. Factors such as desired contour, definition, and natural vs. dramatic results will guide the choice of filler.
Benefits of Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?
Immediate Results: Visible improvement right after the procedure.
Non-Invasive: No surgery, minimal discomfort, and no general anesthesia required.
Quick Recovery: Minimal downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities almost immediately.
Reversible: Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed.
Customizable Results: Tailored to individual facial features and aesthetic goals.
Risks of Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?
While non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments are generally safe, they do carry some risks, including:
Swelling and Bruising: This can occur occasionally but typically resolves within a few days.
Infection: Rare, but possible if post-treatment care instructions are not followed.
Lumps and Bumps: Can occur but are often temporary and can be massaged out or dissolved if persistent.
Asymmetry: Rare but possible, and usually correctable with additional filler.
How long do Non-surgical Rhinoplasty fillers treatments last?
The longevity of non-surgical rhinoplasty results varies depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolic factors. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last between 18 and 24 months. Factors such as the amount of filler injected, the area treated, and the individual’s lifestyle can influence the duration of the results. Our London-based experts will guide you on how to maintain your results.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Treatment Techniques?
Various techniques can be employed to achieve different nasal enhancements:
Linear Threading: Involves injecting the filler in a linear fashion to smooth out bumps and create a straight nasal profile.
Microdroplet Technique: Involves injecting small amounts of filler for precise contouring and natural-looking results.
Tenting Technique: Focuses on lifting the nasal tip by strategically placing filler in the columella and other supporting areas.
Each technique is chosen based on the patient’s unique nasal anatomy and desired outcome, ensuring a customised and aesthetically pleasing result. Visit our London, Dublin, and Dubai clinics to discover the best technique for your needs.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty FAQs: Dr Paul's Tips for the Best Results
At Dr. Paul Elgey Aesthetic Clinic, we are committed to not only enhancing the contours of your nose but also ensuring the longevity and health of your skin post-treatment. Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results and a comfortable recovery. Below, you’ll find important guidelines to help you care for your skin after your non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment.
Avoid Pressure on the Nose
Post-treatment, it’s critical to avoid any pressure on the treated area, especially within the first 72 hours. Wearing glasses or touching the nose can shift the filler before it fully settles, which can affect the final result. Try using contact lenses instead, and if you must wear glasses, consider placing them lightly to avoid contact with the bridge of your nose
“I always recommend my patients use contact lenses for a few days after treatment. Even gentle pressure from glasses can alter the shape of the filler. If you need to wear glasses, consider propping them up lightly on your forehead to avoid pressing on the bridge.”
Keep the Area Clean and Avoid Makeup
The injection sites are still healing after your non-surgical rhinoplasty, so maintaining cleanliness is essential to prevent infection. Avoid applying makeup, heavy skincare products, or using harsh cleansers for at least 24 hours.
“I advise patients to stick to a gentle skincare routine and avoid any unnecessary products around the nose area for the first couple of days. Let your skin breathe and heal without added irritation.”
Minimise Swelling with Cool Packs
Swelling and bruising are common after non-surgical rhinoplasty, but applying a cold compress intermittently within the first 24 hours can help. Make sure not to apply ice directly to the skin or apply too much pressure; instead, use a soft cloth to prevent cold burns.
“A gentle cold compress works wonders for post-procedure swelling. Just remember to be cautious and never apply ice directly—use a soft cloth as a buffer.”
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking
Alcohol and smoking can increase swelling and slow down the healing process. For the best results, avoid both for at least 48 hours after your treatment. Smoking, in particular, can interfere with blood circulation, increasing the risk of complications.
“Alcohol and smoking hinder recovery, and avoiding them for a couple of days will reduce swelling and give your body the best chance to heal properly.”
Elevate Your Head While Sleeping
Sleeping with your head elevated for the first night can help reduce fluid retention and minimise swelling. Use extra pillows to prop your head up, which will assist in faster recovery.
“I always suggest sleeping with an elevated head position for the first night after a nose filler procedure. It’s a simple and effective way to control swelling.”
Avoid Vigorous Exercise and Heat Exposure
For at least 24 hours after the procedure, avoid strenuous exercise and activities that can raise your body temperature, such as hot showers or saunas. Heat can increase swelling and affect the outcome of the treatment
“Exercise and heat can increase swelling post-treatment. I always tell my patients to take it easy for a couple of days and avoid anything that might raise their body temperature too much.”
