Non surgical nose job - What type of dermal filler is used?

I have a schnoz issue that I want fixed...but I don't want surgery because I hate being put under.  It really freaks me out.  I am thinking about having a non surgical nose job, but I am wondering what type of dermal filler is normally used for this.  Do most doctors use the same fillers or does it vary?  What are the options?

Thanks much!
