Heard that you may need a touch up a few weeks after a non surgical nose. Why would you need it so soon after?

Question

I have heard after having a non surgical nose job you may need a touch up a few weeks later. Why would you need it so soon on. I know it is about how the filler settles but does that mean it will completely go back to your old nose in a matter of weeks? Is it safe after a few weeks and would you recommend this?

After an injectable filler treatment, swelling may resolve and this can lead to an appearance where more filler could be necessary. When that is the case, we suggest adding extra filler no sooner than one month from the initial treatment date. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Filler touch-up may be necessary after a non-surgical rhinoplasty to improve results.  While the filler doesn't go away in weeks, it sometimes flattens or shifts a bit, or simply more may be necessary to achieve the desired goal after the swelling related to the initial treatment has resolved.  There are different types of filler used for nonsurgical rhinoplasty, and muscle-relaxing Botox and Dysport are often used during this treatment as well; while filler results are apparent immediately after treatment, Botox takes up to 2 weeks to show 100% of its results.

Discuss your treatment plan, as well as the associated risks, benefits, and recovery with your injector, and be sure to seek out a person experienced in this treatment and nasal anatomy.  Good luck!
