Would a non-surgical nose job help correct my deviated and weak nose? (Photos)

Question

When I lie on my side, my nose bends in the direction I’m laying on, and over time it’s started to sit more toward that side. Visually, one side of my nose (especially where it meets the cheek) looks bigger or puffier, and the whole nose seems to lean in that direction.

A non-surgical nose job, also known as a liquid rhinoplasty, can offer temporary improvements for certain aesthetic concerns, but it may not be the best solution for structural issues like a deviated septum or a weak nasal structure. Here’s a breakdown of what a non-surgical approach can and cannot do:

What It Can Do:
Subtle Contouring: Fillers can be used to smooth out minor asymmetries and create a more balanced appearance by adding volume to specific areas.
Temporary Results: This procedure is non-invasive and offers results that typically last between 6 to 12 months.

What It Cannot Do:
Correct Structural Deviations: A non-surgical nose job cannot address the underlying structural issues of a deviated septum or significant weakness in nasal cartilage.
Functional Improvements: It won’t improve breathing difficulties or other functional problems associated with a deviated septum.

For a more permanent and functional correction, surgical rhinoplasty might be necessary, especially if breathing issues are present. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon or an ENT specialist can provide a comprehensive evaluation and guide you to the most appropriate treatment option for your specific concerns.
