Non-surgical nose job rhinoplasty is a relatively new word in medicine and not many people know what it is.If many have already heard of the classic surgical intervention, then a number of questions arise in this case.If you have complexes due to defects associated with the organ of smell and an ugly tip, bump or depression interferes with your life, you definitely need to find out what non-surgical rhinoplasty is.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty and its secrets
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a way to correct the shape of the nose without surgery.The essence of the method is to introduce special fillers or threads into this area, which slightly correct the shape and give symmetry to this part of the face.Ideal for patients who do not have respiratory problems, septum or deviated nasal bones.If there are minor defects in the shape of the nose, the use of fillers is an ideal solution, as they will help correct these problems.It should also be noted that the term "non-surgical rhinoplasty" is somewhat incorrect and contradicts itself.“Rhinoplasty” is a surgical procedure on the nose, and the definition of “non-surgical” to use in this context doesn’t entirely make sense.
But experts agreed to call the correction procedure "fillers" precisely to convey the essence of the method to patients who have little information about ways to correct the shape of the nose.This procedure cannot be considered a complete alternative to surgery.It aims to combat certain defects that cannot be eliminated by surgery.And, conversely, it cannot solve problems that are eliminated by surgery.Often the technique is performed in cases where the patient is unhappy with the results of surgical rhinoplasty and requires adjustment of the resulting nose shape.Before agreeing to the procedure, we recommend studying the before and after photos to get a general idea of the possible results.The nose cannot be reduced without surgery.By the way, nasal cartilage tends to increase with age, so some patients may report that their nose gets bigger with age.
5 clear differences between non-surgical rhinoplasty
This procedure has a number of differences from surgery, including:
- absence of complex surgery, long and painful rehabilitation period;
- speed of the procedure;
- reasonable cost;
- short-term effect (up to a year);
- inability to correct breathing and other serious problems.
In other words, it is an almost simple procedure that guarantees a gentle effect aimed at solving minor problems related to the shape of the nose.For example, it can be used to improve the tip of the nose, eliminate certain defects or even reduce relief.This technique can be performed when the results become less pronounced.The main condition is the patient's satisfaction with the result obtained.If clients come in who have already had their noses filled with fillers, I use hyaluronidase to dissolve any remaining fillers in the nose before further injections are performed.Essentially, we're starting over on a new page.Otherwise, there will be fillers in the nose that are in different stages of dissolution, resulting in an uneven nose over time.
Results of non-surgical rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty achieves the following results:
- achieve shape symmetry;
- elimination of small defects in the form of dimples or tubercles under the skin;
- minor curvature correction;
- raise the tip of the nose;
- Added subtlety to the wings of the nose.
As you can see from this list, non-surgical rhinoplasty is more of a corrective rhinoplasty than one that corrects serious problems.Before registering for this technique, the patient must consult a doctor, receive recommendations and have a general idea of the results, in order to avoid disappointment from the procedure.What you should not expect from non-surgical rhinoplasty is radical changes in the shape of the nose and solutions to problems with respiratory functions.The technique is not intended to combat these problems.
What methods are used to perform the procedure?
What are the methods, how does the procedure take place?Conventionally, non-surgical rhinoplasty of the nose can be divided into the following types:
- Fillers. This technique involves the introduction of fillers based on hyaluronic acid.They fill in small irregularities, help even out the surface of the skin and make the nose symmetrical.Preparations based on hyaluronic acid and others are often used here.These products are generally classified as biodegradable, meaning they dissolve over time.There are also permanent fillers based on silicone or other biopolymers, but modern experts advise against using such fillers, as they can cause tissue fibrosis.
- Son. Aptos threads have been used for facelifts for approximately 20 years;they allow you to tighten and correct not only the contours of the cheekbones and facial contours, but also change the shape of the nose.The best option for those who want to raise the tip of the nose or smooth out small wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, thereby visually improving its contour.Threads can also be biodegradable or permanent.
- Hormonal medications. They are also injected under the skin.They allow you to eliminate minor defects and visually refine your nose.Medications are not intended to correct bone tissue.They dissolve defects.It is important to follow the exact dosage.
- splints. This name was given to a device made of plastic or plaster.Its use is intended to correct the contour of the organ of smell.This device exerts pressure on the cartilage tissue, thus correcting imperfections.With its help, you can raise the nose, narrow the wings and smooth out the curvature.But you need to understand that this method will not lead to colossal changes, but will only allow minor corrections.
The non-surgical rhinoplasty method is chosen individually.In each case, the beautician must consult the patient and explain why the chosen method should be used.
Indications and contraindications for
The procedure should be carried out if certain defects are present.
Directions:
- the tip of the nose is drooping;
- minor irregularities are observed;
- there is an asymmetry;
- the upper bridge of the nose is flat;
- sagging skin in this area.
Facial fillers can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose.But to reduce the nostrils or their general shape, surgery is necessary.

The procedure is contraindicated in specific cases.
Contraindications:
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- acute inflammatory processes;
- infectious diseases;
- herpes in the acute stage;
- diabetes mellitus;
- presence of allergies to active substances and medications.
The procedure can be carried out from adulthood and then at any age.
Rehabilitation period
There is no rehabilitation period as such.For several hours after the procedure, redness and swelling of the skin around the nose may be observed, but these problems disappear completely within 24 hours.When a thread lift is performed, bruising may form, which completely disappears within a week.Additionally, a special splint is applied to the patient's nose, which guarantees the result and protects it from injury.Fillers may become dislodged after injection and wires inserted under the skin of the nose may break.The likelihood of these side effects occurring is extremely low.However, if they are detected, it is necessary to urgently contact a specialist to quickly resolve the problem.
Bruising and swelling may occur after the procedure.It will take about 2 weeks for them to disappear completely.If after this period you still have these symptoms, you should consult your doctor.

Benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this nose correction?The main advantages of this technique are:
- painless;
- short period or complete absence of rehabilitation period;
- rapid achievement of results;
- reversibility.
Questions may arise about reversibility, because if the procedure has to be repeated again with a stable frequency, can this be considered an advantage?In a sense, yes, because with classic rhinoplasty it is simply impossible to return to the previous result;you might encounter an unsuccessful result.And what to do if it turns out that the patient is unhappy with the new shape of the nose?Corrective plastic surgery will correct the situation to some extent, but it will not be possible to completely reverse the result.And non-surgical rhinoplasty will allow you to return to your previous shape at any time without any changes.The duration of the result depends on the filler used (hyaluronic acid preparations).Typically, a new procedure is needed after 9 to 12 months.
Expert opinion
I cannot call the procedure completely safe.In my practice, there have often been cases when patients followed a similar method and experienced severe skin ischemia.If the load is incorrectly introduced, it can cause deformation of the cartilage;this is a direct indication for subsequent corrective surgical intervention.Therefore, you should carefully choose a specialist.Based on the information above, you can easily conclude that non-surgical rhinoplasty is not suitable for everyone.If we are talking about minor defects that can be eliminated with fillers and slight adjustments to the shape, then this procedure makes sense.In other cases, when it comes to correcting serious defects, such as a deviated septum or a twisted bone, it is necessary to perform a classic operation and eliminate the problem through a painful but comprehensive method.In the presence of minor defects, non-surgical rhinoplasty can correct the situation and restore symmetry to the face.But it is worth remembering the risks of side effects.
