I've had a non surgical nose job using restylane 2 months ago and i was happy with the results but i have seen some of the results go already.

Restylane in nose
Filling the nasal bridge with restylane or other fillers are all temporary. Sure, additional product may "top off" and last longer. A rhinoplasty is permanent.

Probably
About a year ago the people of Medicis, the Dermatology Company, were trying to convince us that this was indeed the case. They pointed to studies that showed that giving a boost of Restylane at the six month mark, would keep the treated lines away for 18 months.

Restylane and Juvederm can last longer after multiple treatments
There are a number of patients that notice longer duration effectiveness after multiple sessions with fillers.

Yes and this has been proven
Several peer reviewed studies have verified that there are cumulative benefits to Restylane and that it is best to do a touch up between 4-8 months so a result can last close to 18 months. The study was done on nasolabial folds, but this is a wonderful non-surgical options to reshape a bump on the nose as well.

Restylane and juvederm may last longer with repeat injections
The duration of effect with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers varies with the location where they are injected. Studies show that if a repeat injection is done before the effect has completely worn off it will last longer than if you wait until it is all gone.

Duration of effect of Restylane
The duration of effect of Restylane is six to eight months. In certain areas of the face, it lasts less than this. There is a theory that over time the injection causes a collagen reaction in the skin which can make the effect appear to last longer.
