Non-surgical nose job, Seattle, WA: what is the cost, risk, and expected results?

The best way to mitigate a complication is to choose your surgeon wisely. I believe an experienced physician is less likely to encounter a complication in the nose while using injectable fillers. If you would like an opinion as to whether or not you may be a candidate for a non-surgical nose job, please feel free to re-ask you a question with photographs. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Thank you for your question about non surgical nose jobs.  The medical term for this procedure is a Liquid Rhinoplasty.  A liquid rhinoplasty is not permanent like a surgical Rhinoplasty would be, but it offers a wonderful alternative to surgery.  It is difficult to give accurate suggestions without an in person consultation.  Not everyone is a candidate for a non surgical nose job.  Occasionally it is possible to give the appearance of slimming a person's nose with a liquid rhinoplasty, but not always.  Placing filler in this area allows us to contour and give the appearance of a slimmer nose.  
To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your inquiry. You have a very good list of questions but these should be answered by the person you choose for your consultation. Each physician has his or her own protocol for what they use or how they treat the nose with fillers. In addition, what products are used, how much they cost, and how long they last can be highly variable. I would encourage you to have several consultations with local plastic surgeons who are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss your concerns and questions. You should be presented with a complete care plan and price quote for the procedure. Then you can decide who you want to proceed with.Best of luck!

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. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. After the filler dissolves, the nose will go back to it's original shape. Cost will vary. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Placement of fillers in the nose is only going to make the nose itself larger on a temporary basis. There are significant complications that can happen, such as skin necrosis, requiring reconstructive surgery. For a permanent result, it's probably best to undergo a closed rhinoplasty procedure, which is less invasive than an open rhinoplasty to accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, refinement of the nasal tip, with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. Best to undergo digital computer imaging to understand what can be accomplished with your nose upon your facial features

Thanks for your questions. Firstly it is likely that all the things you would like to improve will be possible to a greater or lesser extent, and of course a detailed consultation would show you whether you would see sufficient changes to feel pleased about the result.The duration of the result will depend on the filler used, but in my experience even one year later you would still see some benefit. Over time the filler is broken down, but you should not expect any problem with stretching of the skin - there is no problem if you decide not to repeat treatment in the future.There are certain risks with any filler procedure, albeit low, and these should be covered in a consultation before you have treatment. Particular case is needed when treated the nose because of the anatomy here. Higher risk of causing a problem with the blood supply means this is an area that should be treated only by a suitably experienced physician.I hope this helps.

Hello! compared to a conventional rhinoplasty, a non surgical rhinoplasty is essentially minimally invasive treatment designed to improve the shape and overall appearance of the nose via a customized combination of injectable dermal fillers. The procedure enhances the shape of the nose, disguising imperfections to obtain a balance of your facial features and improve your overall appearance. 
In expert hands the NSR address bumps or any unevenness on the nose, may increase the height of the nose bridge and lift any drooping effects at the tip of the nose. Pricing of the NSR depends on the type and amount of soft tissue filler used (Each practice prices its fillers differently - a quick phone call to the practice can really help shed more light on the matter) 
In most patients 1ml of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler is sufficient (this usually is equal to one syringe) prices range from 600 to $1000 depending on where you choose to get the procedure done. Be aware that soft tissue filling of the nose can be rather tricky so please seek an expert in the field who has adequate experience in doing this (see side effects below)
It is important you know that no procedure is without risk. the most common side effects with fillers to the nose include 
Redness (usually disappears after a few days)Swelling and bruising sometimes occur – this slowly subsides over time. sometimes we will have to give patients antihistamines or steroidsTenderness.Nasal skin damage - especially the farther down the nose you go where the skin is thin and the vessels can easily get compromisedA lumpy or asymmetrical appearance or unsatisfactory outcome. This is probably the most common after redness. Blindness - rare, and best avoided by picking an experienced injector, it can occur with fillers to the brow and nose area when injecting directly into a blood vessel that connects to the blood vessels that supply the retina. early recognition is also a key here 
Hope this helps
