A Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is a simple effective answer for many patients

Phillip Chang, MD answers: Do nonsurgical nose jobs work?

I am unhappy with my nose, but I can't afford rhinoplasty surgery.  I am considering a non-surgical option but don't know much about it other than that it is supposed to be less expensive than plastic surgery.  What exactly is a non-surgical nose job?  Do the results last?

I have been performing non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures for my patients for over 5 years.  Initially, I was performing the procedure with only Radiesse but since the introduction of Juvederm and Restylane, I am now able to create beautiful noses tailored to the needs of my patients.  A non-surgical procedure is not appropriate for all of my patients but for some of my patients it is the perfect solution and sometimes is the only solution.  Appropriate candidates include:

1.  Patients who have a shallow nasal bridge that can be built up ( asians )

2.  Patients with a small nasal humps by building up the nose above and below the hump

3.  Patients with minor deformities of the tip cartilage

4.  Patients with minor deformities caused by surgical techniques.

5.  Patients who refuse surgery

6.  Patients who can't afford traditional surgery
