While doing some research on nonsurgical nose jobs, I read that “nose fillers can last up to 36 months, if repeated regularly”. I also watched a video of this woman that got a nonsurgical nose job, & she said that if she goes back for a touch-up after 8 months, she won’t have to go back for another 5 (!) years. She got it done at a professional clinic. How does this work? Is there a special kind of filler that you'll have to use? Because I thought that a year was the max. They could last....

Answer: Nose Hello there, Movement is something that greatly affects the longevity of fillers. Peri-oral fillers last the shortest amount of time, and tear trough/nose filler seems to last the longest. I feel that 3-5 years seems to be a bit of a stretch, but 1-2 would seem responsible depending on the filler used. I also strongly recommend maintaining the filler vs. allowing it to completely dissolve. In patients that do this, they definitely get a longer wear out of their fillers over time. I would definitely discuss this with an expert, as this is a highly vascular area. Hope this helps. Sarah RN BSN

Answer: Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty This is a great question! Results and longevity can vary with each patient, however, the nose has an advantage since it rarely moves. Dermal filler in areas of the face that have a great deal of movement, such as the lips, tend to have a shorter longevity. We do find that our non-surgical rhinoplasty patients that have had a 2-3 treatments over the years are able to go longer in between their treatments compared to the time between their first and second treatment which is typically about a year. In my practice, we also offer a touch up about 6-8 weeks after the initial treatment which will extend the longevity as well. I prefer to use Restylane Lyft in this area and I only inject with a microcannula.
