Non-Surgical rhinoplasty. How long does the filler last? (Photo)

I have been performing nonsurgical nose jobs with volumizing fillers for well over fifteen years. As you can see from the before and after photos of a nonsurgical nose job of one my patients in the sidebar to this column, volumizing fillers can be quite successfully used to straighten a bent or bumpy nasal bridge and to improve nasal tip projection and contour. From start to finish the procedure took less than five minutes to perform. In this particular patient, I used Radiesse. More recently I prefer Restylane Lyft (in my Upper East Side Manhattan office) and Hyaluronica 2 (which is my go-to in my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved volumizers and fillers are available).  Since the nose is not subject to much mechanical stress, results typically last about about 1.5 to two years in my experience. Less robust, ordinary fiilers, like plain Restylane or Juvederm, would unlikely hold up more than a year. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician with particular expertise and experience in performing nonsurgical rhinoplasty and be sure to insist upon seeing his/her before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

We prefer using microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent nonsurgical rhinoplastic treatments. This may not be a substitute for rhinopasty surgery, and an examination would be necessary to determine your candidacy. Thank you. Dr Joseph

There are number of different fillers available and the duration will vary depending on this.  Juvederm Voluma for example should last 12-18 months.  It is best to check with your doctor what filler is being used and its duration.
