Can a Non-surgical Nose Job Make my Nose Bigger or Wider?

Question

Is there a way for the non-surgical nose job to make your nose bigger or wider? I ask this because as a man, I feel my nose looks weak for my appearance, and I am wondering if this procedure can help me out.

Nonsurgical treatments including fillers can be used to alter the appearance of your nose, but the first thing I would recommend is to see a Plastic Surgeon in you region who can evaluate your anatomy and discuss with you what your goals are.  
In general, it is rare that anyone wants their nose necessarily bigger or wider, even if you want the nose to look more masculine or stronger. The ideal nose is different for each person and depends on multiple factors (ethnicity, how it balances with the rest of your face on frontal view and in profile, etc).  In addition, there are different aesthetic ideals for men and women, including the shape and angles of the tip and dorsum (top of the nose) and it is very difficult if not impossible to reach these anatomic goals with a natural, lasting result without surgery.  Fillers are great options for very subtle changes or touchups after surgery, but I would be hesitant to offer it to a patient in your situation as the "best" choice.

Non-surgical nose jobs are typically performed by adding injectable fillers to the nose. It is definitely possible to make the nose bigger or wider by adding filler to the nose, but this must be performed safely in order to avoid occlusion of any blood supply.
Be sure to see an expert physician injector such as a facial plastic surgeon who performs both surgical rhinoplasty and non-surgical nose job procedures commonly.
All the best,

To answer your question, yes, a nonsurgical nose job can add height and width to the nose to give it a more masculine appearance.  This is usually done with a volumizing agent such as Perlane or Radiesse in men as these fillers resist deformation the greatest and seem to give the most longevity.  Voluma is also a good product however extra product is needed with Voluma given it's soft nature so can be less cost effective for men.

Sure they will. Adding a tissue filler can enlarge a nose, while only surgery can reduce it. Small changes work best using a non-surgical Rhinoplasty.

In general, you can have the height of your nasal bridge increased with an Injectable Filler treatment. For example, if you feel that the bridge of your nose is too curved, then you could have the area filled to provide a straighter appearance.
You should consult a board-certified facial plastic surgeon experienced in the art of using Injectable Fillers for nasal enhancement. You should view many photos before you proceed.

Depending on the areas to be treated there are methods to widen or "strengthen" the profile of the nose using fillers which is also known as the "non-surgical rhinoplasty or nose job". There are risks to all of these procedures and these should be discussed with your surgeon.

Smita R. Ramanadham, MD, FACS · Answer

Generally, a non-surgical rhinoplasty can make the nose more projected or fill in any asymmetries of the nose.  Given the location of the blood vessels along the sides of the nose, fillers are safe in the central portion so as to avoid these vessels and any complications that may subsequently result.  If you feel your nose is too small or does not fit the remainder of your face, I would highly recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic ENT surgeon to further discuss your concerns and treatment options.

Adding filler to the nose can make the nose wider and bigger. However, what most patients desire is a balanced nose in harmony with the face. An accurate assessment of your nose and face (including chin) is the best step to determine how to achieve your goals.

In general, non-surgical nose jobs aren't terribly effective.  There is one situation, however, where it can work very nicely.  This is the person who has what appears to be a hump on the nose but is actually a very deep root of the nose.  If the very top of your nose dips in deeply, it can create the illusion of a hump.  
Radiesse fills that area nicely for perhaps a year or so.  Do not inject anything permanent into your nose like silicone.  Other parts of the nose can respond to injectable fillers, but generally the results aren't very impressive.  The vast majority of people who don't like their nose would like it to be smaller, and all non-surgical rhinoplasty options involve making the nose bigger.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Fillers can artificially enahnce the dorsum of your nose and the width of your nose.  These are temporary fixes.  More long lasting results are with rhinoplasty.
