2 days P/O-How long should I wait to decide if I like my non-surgical rhinoplasty? When will it start to slowly dissolve?

Question

I had a non-surgical rhinoplasty done 2 days ago.The profile of my nose is improved (I just wanted the bump to be evened out, so he injected the filler above it), however my nose is wider at the very top now & I feel less like myself & a bit less feminine. How long should I give everything to "settle" before I judge it? Will it slowly start dissolving over the next few months or will it mostly stay the same for the 9 months to 1 year that it is supposed to last? Thank you so much.

Greetings  Joanne25.
Thank you for your question. Depending on the filler used (Voluma, Radiesse...) swelling may last up to two weeks. If it still appears wide after this time period, return to your doctor who may be able to dissolve the filler and thin out the area you desire. Once "settled", the results should maintain the same shape for the nine months quoted by your doctor. There are numerous variables which will determine the length of how long the filler will acually last. The type of filler used is one factor. Other factors include your age, your activity level, smoking and others. I hope this helps. Communicate your concerns directly to your doctor who will better know your specific situation. Have a wonderful day. Robert H. Cohen, M.D.

Sometimes a widened nasal appearance may be due to swelling from the procedure itself. I believe nearly all swelling from an injectable filler procedure is dissipated within 14 days after the treatment. If you have concerns about your nasal appearance two weeks after your treatment, you should bring these concerns to the attention of your doctor. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
