Would a non-surgical nose job make my nose look smaller? (Photos)

While
the only permanent way to straighten the dorsal hump is with surgical
rhinoplasty, depending on the height of the hump and the height of your bridge
above the hump, your profile may be amenable to softening with nonsurgical
rhinoplasty.

Hello,There are many surgeons that use a motorized micro saw in rhinoplasties, you were just duped by one guy who made it seem like only he does it.  Also, what he does is still a surgery, no different than any other rhinoplasty. As for using filler, your nose is substantially curved, and I'm afraid your nose will look too wide from the front, although it would improve your three quarter and lateral views. My recommendation is to just get a rhinoplasty, you'll be happier.Best of luck!

Deciding whether you are or are not a candidate for a
non-surgical nose job really depends on your goals. The best candidates for a
non-surgical nose job are typically the following types of patients: 1) Those
who want the bridge of their nose raised or who want a hump hidden to achieve a
more feminine profile 2) Patients with a nose that deviates to one side or the
other. Filler can help make it look more straight 3) Patients with features in
the tip that appear too harsh or pointy and need softening. Fillers can help
create a much smoother and balanced appearance. What non-surgical nose jobs
can't do are help patients narrow their nose, make it project (stick out) less,
or help with breathing. For these issues a surgical rhinoplasty is required.
It is very
important to know that a non-surgical rhinoplasty is a VERY advanced and
technically challenging procedure to do safely. Too much filler in any given
area can cause issues with blood supply to the skin on the nose so it is
essential that you have a physician who is comfortable in rhinoplasty perform
the procedure. There must be an utmost respect for the anatomy and blood supply
of the nose. In experienced hands it can be done safely and beautifully with
results that enhance the appearance of the nose and really help patients feel
more confident.
Depending on the
filler used, the results typically last between 1 and 2 years. The procedure is
performed after topical numbing creme is applied and should be performed in a
meticulous fashion. This means that the procedure typically takes about 45
minutes.
I hope that helps!

In a “liquid”, or “non-surgical” rhinoplasty, a combination of
Botox and facial fillers are injected to achieve the desired result without a
scalpel. In the right candidate, a Liquid Rhinoplasty can even out
irregularities along the bridge of the nose, make the nose appear straighter, raise
the nasal bridge, or camouflage a dorsal hump on the profile view. Although
you are technically adding volume with filler, the end result is often a nose
that appears smaller and more refined. The idea is to change the way light hits
your nose, creating a kind of semi-permanent contour makeup on your nose. During
a liquid procedure, ice is used to numb the skin, and small needles are used to
inject filler and/or Botox. Not all nose concerns are amenable to liquid, non-surgical,
rhinoplasty, but if you’re among the lucky (or unlucky, depending upon how you
look at it), you can skip the pain and recovery of surgery. Results are
dramatic and instant. I suggest seeking out a board certified injector with experience doing non-surgical rhinoplasties, as there is definitely a learning curve. Good luck!

Non-surgical rhinoplasty refers to using soft tissue fillers to change the contours of the nose. By injecting the filler, the idea is to create a more even surface. When you inject a filler, you increase the overall volume and size of the nose. This office-based procedure is not risk free. There is potential for tissue death. And the procedure is not permanent. 

 When patient's have a crooked nose and a dorsal hump, a surgical rhinoplasty  needs to be performed. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty will make the nose bigger, not smaller, and only on a temporary basis. The dorsal hump is composed of  both bone and cartilage which must be shave down in order to remove it. When the nose is crooked, osteotomies are required  to straighten the  bridge line. and patient's have a concave upper lateral cartilage in the midportion of the nose, a spreader graft was placed to straighten that portion of the nose.

Filling in the radix and dorsum around your prominent bump with a filler might draw the eye away from the bump, but it won't make your nose smaller, it will make it bigger.  Don't get hung up on the method of rhinoplasty - the result will depend on the surgeon, not the tools.

Injections add volume and thus make certain areas of the nose bigger and not smaller. With a hump and a deviated nose you would be better served by a closed rhinoplasty technique.

Hi doineedtochange,A nonsurgical nosejob will not make a nose look smaller as it is performed by the addition of a fill to key areas of the nose. The most popular (and safest) area in which to place it is at the radix or above the most prominent area hump between your eyes. This can provide a visual illusion so that the overall profile is straighter and the hump less isolated and prominent. However, this will make your "nasal starting point" (where the nose starts from the face) higher. In any case, you should have someone experienced with this technique if you want it done. It also has to be repeated every 6-9 months or so as the product is not permanent.As for the "micro saw nose job," that should like marketing speak. If you just wanted the hump reduced and a straighter profile and at the same time did not want any changes to your nasal tip, you could have an endonasal rhinoplasty technique that would bypass the nasal tip and therefore give you a faster recovery without any external scars.Good luck!Michael M.

Usually, prominent nasal bridges and humps can be improved to achieve a
natural appearing better cosmetic with a rhinoplasty. There is no long-lasting
non-surgical procedure than can remove the bump. Hyaluronic fillers can temporarily camouflage the bump,  but will make the nose look larger, not smaller.

I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal surgery
experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and
ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should
discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
