I received a non-surgical nose job on Friday. How long will I have swelling? (Photo)

Question

On Friday I got a non-surgical nose job to fix a crooked nose and droopy tip using Juvederm. Initially I liked it but it's been swollen everyday and seems so fat and ugly. How much longer should I expect swelling? It is straight now but so spread out, I'd rather have my old nose back.

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

Swelling from a non-surgical nose job can take up to 2 weeks to fully resolve and for the filler to settle in. Give yourself until then. If by that time you don't like your results you can have the juvederm dissolved using hyaluronidase. Best wishes.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It takes 2-3 weeks to see the outcome of fillers especially Juvederm that swells significantly.  Please see an expert if you are unhappy.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and I am sorry that your results have not been what you anticipated.  In most cases the swelling after Juvederm will last for 24-48 hours depending on the amount injected. Your final results from the injections will take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to develop so for now use cold compresses to your nose and sleep with your head elevated with a few extra pillows at night to minimize the swelling that can take place.  Best wishes.

I always tell my patients to not love their filler
injections for 2 weeks. Swelling is very common and sometimes immediate. It can
last 3-7 days and a good idea is to use cold compresses. Cold compresses may be
used immediately after treatment to reduce swelling only if needed. This may be
applied for 3 minutes, 3 times per day, for up to 3 days. This is best done
with a bag of peas in a zip lock bag. Only apply light pressure to the area but
gentle massage might be necessary if the bump is from the filler material
itself. Get Arnica gel if you can find some and apply a few times a day as well
to help treat any swelling. Avoid any blood thinners. Bruising can also last
1-2 weeks. I don't recommend hyaluronidase this early and wait a few weeks
until the swelling has resolved. If it is persistent or you are worried, set up
a follow up appointment with your dermatologist.

Non surgical rhinoplasty needs a true expert rhinoplasty surgeon top reform this! The swelling lasts fir2 weeks +++ But I ALWAYS Rx a steroid pills for 48 hrs post injection.
