What is a Non Surgical Nose Job

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?

Non-surgical nose jobs are good for some, not so good for others

A non-surgical rhinoplasty or non-surgical nose job uses injection of safe and effective filler materials (typically Radiesse) to alter the shape of the nose. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a quick and easy alternative for those who want to improve certain features of their nose but are not yet ready for a surgical rhinoplasty.

Non-Surgical Nose Job

Non-surgical rhinoplasty can be used to augment the nose ranging from subtle to dramatic changes. Dermal-fillers can be used to create contours, fill-in areas and visually decrease humps, and refine the tip and over-all appearance of the nose. Typically, fillers placed in the nose last 6-9 months. Occasionally, some results are longer because the body is stimulated to build it's own collagen in the area. Depending on your goals, non-surgical rhinoplasty may be... more

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty versus Rhinoplasty

For some patients, injecting a filler such as Radiesse to the nose can be a good alternative to a Rhinoplasty. Costs can add up over time however, so consider your long-term goals and your budget. Whether or not a patient is a good candidate depends upon their specific goals and their anatomy. Most fillers are generally not permanent, and will only correct specific anatomical issues, not things that may cause problems with your breathing. They also are only good at ‘filling’,... more

Currently there is a trend in cosmetic procedures for "non-surgical" solutions. One procedure that has receiving press is the non-surgical rhinoplasty or nose surgery.

A Nonsurgical Nose Job Refers To The Use of Injectable Fillers

Non-surgical rhinoplasty refers to the use of injectable fillers to augment areas of soft tissue deficiency. This technique is used for minor deformities that require augmentation and therefore has limited usefulness. The procedure uses injectable fillers such as Radiuses, Juvederm, and Restylane to correct minor contour irregularities. It has significant limitations because it cannot reduce a large nasal structure when this is indicated. It also has to be repeated at six... more

NON SURGICAL NOSE JOB "IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE......"

A few points to consider about this procedure... This is a very much off label use of a facial filler to fill in depressions of the nose or lengthen the tip of the nose. It is usually done with a hyaluronic acid filler like Restylane or calcium hydroxl apatite (Radiesse). It is a temporary procedure and a short cut. it can be risky. If the filler gets into a blood vessel in a thin skinned nose or an operated nose, it can cause loss of skin.... more

Non-surgical nosejob

Non surgical nose jobs are simply the application of filler products into the nasal soft tissue of a nose to augment or change the shape of the nose. Most fillers on the market are temporary (lasting 6-18 months) but there are others that are permanent (eg silicone). However even the temporary fillers can potentially cause permanent scarring, lymphatic changes, or skin color changes. Therefore I do not routinely advise having a nonsurgical nose job unless you are absolutely... more

However, it has caused a number of very unfortunate side-effect such as skin loss, permanent deformities and aggressive infections. Unless you are ready to deal with a permanent and irreversible problem, you should avoid having fillers placed in your nose. The advantages of undergoing rasping of the hump... more

Criteria for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Is everyone a candidate?

A Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) involves using Injectable Fillers to improve your appearance. You can have Silikon-1000 for permanent results (my personal preference), but Radiesse, Juvederm, and Restylane are used as well. The choice of filler depends on the preference, and experience of your physician. I have been using Silikon-1000 in the nose for over 10 years and have had wonderful success, and many happy patients. The most commonly performed Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty procedure... more
