When the non surgical rhinoplasty fillers wear off after 6 months or a year, would the nose go back to its original shape?

Hi and thanks for your question. How fast the fillers wear off depends on which fillers you use. For the longest duration in a temporary filler, I usually use Voluma and it gives my patients 1.5 to 2 years. Voluma is also reversible at any time with a simple enzyme injection. Once the filler wears off and the nose goes back to its original shape, I give my patients the option of repeating Voluma treatment or going with a permanent filler like Bellafill. This is also a very safe and effective filler, but it does not get dissolved by the body, so it lasts for many years.
Whether temporary or permanent, Non Surgical Rhinoplasty takes 5 to 15 minutes to perform, involves minimal pain, minimal risk, no downtime or swelling and you can see the results immediately after the procedure. The other advantage to this procedure is that you do not get the long term problems of rhinoplasty. I see countless patients in my practice who develop cartilage collapse and unsightly skin changes over many years of post rhinoplasty scar formation. My philosophy is to always do non surgical procedures over surgery if you are a good candidate for both. If you do choose to have Non Surgical Rhinoplasty, make sure to find a physician who is very experienced in specifically this procedure and ask to see their before and after pictures. Hope that helps.

If your hump is too large, a nonsurgical approach may not be feasible. Consider re-asking your questions with photos. Thank you. Dr Joseph

The good news and the bad news ofnon-surgical rhinoplasty is that it is temporary.  Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is done by injecting fillers that are temporary. Once the effect of the fillers wear off between six and nine months and maybe even up to 12 months, your nose will look as you did before the injections.  This technique is great for someone who is not sure what they want, or just wants to look better for a short time. The rates are very low when done with a physician who is experienced in injecting fillers. 

Hi and thank you for your question! The answer to your question depends on the type of filler. For hyaluronic acid fillers (which are the main choice for nonsurgical rhinoplasty), the nose shape will go back to its baseline (or whatever shape it would have ended up without the filler - remember that our body keeps changing!). Each time it is redone, it will be a new round of treatment and patients should typically pay for it just like any other filler treatments. I hope it helps and good luck!  

Dear eva000,dermal fillers can be used as a temporary solution for nose bump. Once the fillers dissolve, your nose will get back in shape as it was before. If you want to repeat treatment, you will have to pay for fillers. Surgery is only permanent solution.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Yes, once the filler has dissolved, your nose shape will go back to normal. You can then opt to have the procedure again. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose and disguise a bump. However, surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes. The filler is only temporary and after time it will go away and your nose will revert back to its original shape. When the product has worn out you will have to pay for a repeat treatment. Surgery is permanent but more costly upfront. Best of luck.
