Had a non surgical nose job, 2 days later nose hurt when touched, next day bridge became bumpy. Is this a temporary side effect?

Question

I have undergone a non surgical nose job , after the treatment , my nose was exactly how I wanted it to be , 2 days following , I couldn't touch my nosebleed or move it . It hurt when I touched it and it was swollen . The nose shape was still how I wanted it to be . The third day I have realised that the bridge of my nose has become "wavey" and not as straight. Is there a reason for this ? My nose was never "bumpy" is this just a temporary side affect ?

HA fillers are hydrophilic. That means that they attract water, and results may become asymmetrical or augmented several days after your procedure. Since there is swelling in the nose for several weeks after a non-surgical nose job, before getting worried, see how your nose looks in two weeks. If it still looks asymmetrical and wavy, make an appointment to visit your doctor. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

For the most part, the effects of the filler are seen immediately.
Now depending on the type of filler used and its properties, it may absorb a little more water and thus cause some increased edema initially.
Either way, you should have an assessment of the nose at 1-2 weeks after the filler, which would be a good timeline to determine if you need more filler versus excess filler dissolved.
My advice to you is to consult with some experienced in both surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty (e.g., a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon) so that you receive an expert and unbiased opinion.
Hope this helps!
