Injection or Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

An injection or non-surgical rhinoplasty refers to the placement of injectable fillers in the nose to change its shape. This procedure can be completed in the office in 10-15 minutes, quite comfortable after the placement of anesthetic cream to numb the skin. It works well for small contour irregularities in the nose, either in lieu of or following surgery. A curved nose may be made to appear straighter and a hump can be made less prominent. As you can imagine, placing filler in the nose... more

Injection Rhinoplasty For Small Temporary Changes

Injection Rhinoplasty uses injectable fillers (like Radiesse or Juvederm) to fill in or add to nasal contours. The uses are inherently very limited and short-lived.

Injections can reshape the nose

Many patients come to my office with questions about a non surgical approach to nose reshaping (rhinoplasty). Nose reshaping is a complex operation. It requires both technical expertise and artistic skill to balance the nose in an aesthetically pleasing contour. Traditionally this has been done with cutting and using various tissues to graft or augment the nasal anatomy as needed. Recently, some new filler materials have become available that have shown some promise in achieving... more

Rhinoplasty and Radiesse rhinoplasty

An injection rhinoplasty can correct slight irregularities of the nasal bridge and tip. More aggressive repairs or corrections can only be performed with a traditional surgical rhinoplasty.

Injection Rhinoplasty: Minor Procedure with Minor Results

An "injection rhinoplasty" utilizes fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, and Botox to create subtle changes in the nose. This procedure is not without complications (irregularities, skin loss, etc.) and if real changes in the nose are sought, a rhinoplasty should be considered. Good luck! Jeffrey Weinzweig, MD

Injection rhinoplasty is a temporary fix for minor contour problems of the nose.

Injectible therapy works well for minor contour irregularities of the nose before or after surgery. The results are temporary but can be redone as with all facial fillers. The advantage is that it avoids surgery and if the patients dislikes the result, it will go away in time.

Injectables have no role in rhinoplasty

This is an opinion. I feel that injectables have no role in rhinoplasty. The risk of skin necrosis, cellulitis, and scarring is too great. You change the shape of the nose with surgery. Injectables work well for other places on the face, just not in the nose.

Injection Rhinoplasty Information

Injection rhinoplasty is when a filler such as Radiesse is used to fill in a portion of the nose to alleviate the appearance of a bump. This is typically a procedure used to correct small defects, and should be done with extreme caution by a surgeon highly skilled in the arts of rhinoplasty and injectables. Nasal skin is extremely thin so any abnormality can become very visible, and detract from the results you were hoping for. Injection rhinoplasty is very different from a... more

Re: Injections instead of a rhinoplasty

This whole idea seems absurd to me. Injections would make the nose bigger, while most rhinoplasties are done for noses that are too large. Furthermore, there is no legal injectable substance that is permanent.

What is NON-Surgical Nose Job or Injection Nose job

The injection of FDA fillers under the skin of the nose allows the prolonged masking and temporary correction of subtle profile deformities. It will not take the place of surgical nose jobs but is much cheaper than surgery and in the right people can be a great nose surgery alternative. Dr. Peter Aldea

Injection rhinoplasty

An injection rhinoplasty is a technique to change some aspects of the nose with injectable fillers such as Juvederm or Radiesse. Also Botox can be used to create subtle changes in the nose . The changes are subtle and not easily reversible if you don't like them. Typically the changes go away in a few months. Save your money and get the real thing. Best, Tal Raine MD

Techniques for injection rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a popular and effective surgery to recontour the shape of your nose. Sometimes, if the patient needs a small correction or to fill a small defect on the bridge of the nose, it is possible to perform an injection with a dermal filler to correct this small defect. This should be done with extreme caution as the nasal skin is very thin and any irregularity can become quite visible. Be sure that you're working with a board-certified plastic surgeon was a great deal of... more

Injection rhinoplasty tips

Injection rhinoplasty also knows as the non surgical nose job or 5 minute nose job is a technique that has been around for many years but only been receiving publicity over the last 10 years. The filler is injected into different areas of the nose to affect the appearance of the nose. This can be done to camouflage a bump or project the tip. The results can look nice but are temporary.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty has very limited use.

Hi. Everyone wants to avoid surgery if possible, of course. And if your nose has a flat profile, it can be made higher with Juvederm injection. But most people who are not happy with their nose need a surgical rhinoplasty.

Other considerations with injection rhinoplasty

I completely agree with my colleague's comments regarding non-surgical or "injection" rhinoplasty. If I can expand on his answer, there are a few things to also consider: Many times, a patient will be better served with a surgical rhinoplasty since surgery can address a broader range of problems with nasal shape and proportion. Because of this, it's essential that anyone offering a non-surgical rhinoplasty is also trained and skilled at surgical rhinoplasty (i.e., a surgeon... more

Injection Rhinoplasty

A non-surgical rhinoplasty or injection rhinoplasty is a type of procedure that uses injection of safe and effective filler materials to alter the shape of the nose.
