What is a Non Surgical Nose Job

A non-surgical rhinoplasty or non-surgical nose job uses injection of safe and effective filler materials (typically Radiesse) to alter the shape of the nose. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a quick and easy alternative for those who want to improve certain features of their nose but are not yet ready for a surgical rhinoplasty. Non-surgical rhinoplasty takes less than five minutes to perform and has minimal discomfort and minimal recovery associated with it. Results typically last up to one year. Non-surgical rhinoplasty should ideally be performed by a surgeon who is also experienced in surgical rhinoplasty.
It is important to realize that a non-surgical rhinoplasty can only be used to alter the shape by adding structure to the nose and cannot remove any structure form the nose.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can help with the following types of noses:

Noses with small humps or bumps
Noses that have had prior surgery and are overly scooped (ski slope noses)
Saddle nose deformity, also known as boxer's nose, which is caused by collapse of nasal structures typically caused by fracture
Pollybeak (aka poly Beak or supratip deformity) deformity
Nose with a retracted columella (a sharp and deep angle between the upper lip and the nose)
Noses with slight asymmetry

Non-surgical rhinoplasty typically cannot help with the following types of noses:

Noses with large humps
Large noses
Noses with significant asymmetry
Noses that need tip reduction

The most common filler material used for non-surgical rhinoplasty is Radiesse. Radiesse is ideal for non-surgical rhinoplasty because it is soft enough that it can be injected and molded into shape, yet firm enough that it maintains its shape after injection. Radiesse is made up of tiny granules Calcium (the main element of human bone) so it is very safe and well tolerated by the body. I have also performed a number of non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures using Restylane and fat injections. It is very important that the filler material is injected deeply, just above the bone of cartilage of the nose.
The cost of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is $1000 for the initial session, which is a fraction of the cost of a surgical rhinoplasty. If additional product is needed for touch-ups, the cost can range from $300 to $795.

Of course, a nonsurgical nose job involves injecting commercial fillers or fat to affect the appearance of the nose. This can be a useful method for someone who needs filling in of a contour defect from previous surgery, trauma, or in some other unusual situations. Usually patients want a reduction in their nose and more refinement, and only surgery offers that. However, surgery does not need to be extraordinarily expensive. For example, I usually charge $5000, including anesthesia and the surgery center, which is on-site. So you may want to simply save up for the operation. You can spend a lot of money on injectables and they usually absorb with time. I have attached a link to the rhinoplasty section of my website in case you want to learn more.

Undergoing surgery to reshape the nose can make people very nervous. Sometimes, no matter how much the surgeon tries to put patients at ease, they just may not be ready for surgery. In these cases, a non surgical rhinoplasty can be very beneficial. An injectable substance like Juvederm, Radiesse, or Silicone is used to smooth out irregularities and fill defects. For example if there is a bump on the bridge, the filler can be placed above and below the bump to make it look smooth. Also, with a crooked nose, the filler can be placed in the concavity to make it appear straighter, often times with great results. Just be sure to discuss your desires with an experienced injector and you may be able to avoid surgery while improving the shape of your nose.

Ok so a non surgical nose job refers to a procedure where fillers are used to alter the shape of the nose without any surgery.  Essentially a filler is used to FILL areas of depression and give the nose a new shape.  Now the key is to understand its limits and what its ideal for.  First of all you NEVER want to inject anything into your nose that is not an absorbable filler, such Restylane and Juvaderm.  I prefer the Restylane as it is a bit thinner and smoother in my hands.  Next you have to make sure whoever injects you knows what they are doing.  Shouldn't just be some random person who does lips and things.  They need to understand nasal anatomy.  Finally filler is only used to ADD not remove from the nose so if your nose is too big or full then filler is not going to help.  Places where it is very useful is to build a bridge in individuals with weak profiles and correct depressions or irregularities which occur many times following a surgical nose job.  As for how long it lasts....it can last over a year in the nose which makes it a great option in the right situation.

Hope that helps

Great question!
A non-surgical rhinoplasty is a good option in certain patients that are not ready for a surgical rhinoplasty. This involves injection of a type of filler into the nose to achieve better contours to the patient's liking. The pricing certainly varies, but in the majority of cases, should be much less than a surgical rhinoplasty. As for how long this lasts, fortunately filler in the nose will last longer than in other places such as the lips, but is likely different for each patient. Sometimes a portion of the filler may remain long term, but in general, most patients can expect about 1.5-2 year results.

Hello and thank you for your question. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty involved injecting a filler into the nose in an attempt to disguise a dorsal hump. Most patients are better candidates for surgical rhinoplasty as nonsurgical injections tend to make the nose look larger. The wrong patent to inject has a high set radix and high dorsal hump. Injecting this patient will blend the forehead into the nose, creating the “Avatar” look. The good provider will say no and either offer a surgical rhinoplasty or refer to a good rhinoplasty surgeon who can do the surgery.
I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty can reshape the nose with the use of hyaluronic-acid-based fillers. Fillers can help disguise a bump by filling the area above and below it.  Fillers can also help give projection to a nasal tip and/or bridge. Results are temporary but provide instant results. In the long run, this approach is less cost effective compared to a surgical rhinoplasty, since you need to repeat the injections.  Most important is to make sure you are going to a very experienced injector:  injecting the area around the nose can have permanently disastrous results if not done properly. For best results, please see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in both surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty.

A  non-surgical nose jobs is also known as  a non-surgical rhinoplasty. This is accomplished by using filler to modify the shape of the nose from an external approach rather than undergoing surgery to alter to internal nasal structures. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is usually not meant to reduce the size of the nose, rather this approach is more often used to straighten the bridge of the nose for people who are concerned about a bump or hump on the nose. Decreasing the appearance of a hump on the nose results in straightening the bridge of the nose, similar to what can be achieved with a surgical rhinoplasty.

Report
A non-surgical rhinoplasty (nose job) is a quick 5 minute in office procedure which is performed with fillers to improve the appearance of the nose with zero downtime. I typically improve bumps on the bridge of the nose, make the bridge look more straight and narrow, refine the tip and turn the tip up a bit. The length of the result depends on which type of filler is utilized. 
Most surgeons, including myself, use hyaluronic acid (HA)  fillers such a Juvederm, Restylane or Voluma. The duration of each of this fillers is longer in the nose than those typically quoted, as it does not move as much as other parts of the face. Juvederm and Restylane-L typically last 9-12 months in the nose and Restylane Lyft and Voluma can last 1-2 years.  I have noticed that on occasion, less is needed over time and in some minor cases only a few times of injections caused a permanent change, perhaps by stimulation a bit of scar tissue to fill in the area.  A nice feature of the HA fillers is that there is a reversal agent that will reverse the filler right then and there if you are unhappy with the results (have never had to do this, but it is nice to know that it can be done). 
Blindness and skin necrosis (death of skin) because of decreased or blocked blood flow to the area is a feared risk of non-surgical rhinoplasty. Despite training and experience, which can reduce the risk, it is never actually zero. Luckily this is extremely rare, and when skin necrosis is treated correctly and promptly, it will can resolve. 
Some will use Radiesse, which is considered semi-permanent filler.  One issue with Radiesse is that there have been some reports of granulaoma formation (infammatory response) and it can make surgical rhinoplasty a bit more difficult in the future.  
For these reasons, I prefer the HA fillers and will use Lyft or Voluma if there is enough soft tissue coverage for a longer lasting result. 
Seek consultation with a board-certified rhinoplasty expert for an in person consultation for an examination and discussion of your surgical and non-surgical options. I hope this helps and best wishes.

Over the last 20 years there has been a revolution in cosmetic surgery. Non Surgical Rhinoplasty is only a small part of rhinoplasty. Cosmetic treatment of the nose remains mostly surgery. There are a few specific indications where non surgical rhinoplasty with tissue filler is preferable to surgery however.
There are three types of noses where non surgical rhinoplasty by injection is a reasonable alternative to surgery. People with a nasal dorsal hump are often good candidates. For the best improvement there should be no other changes needed, since surgery could manage these and fillers can’t. The hump should ideally be small, as any filler used causes the nose to be larger. This is also the reason average to large noses are often poor candidates for fillers.
People with low nasal bridges are usually good candidates. They often also have thicker skin again good for fillers. In these cases enlarging a nose is of benefit and desirable. Instead of surgically inserting a silicon dorsal implant, filler can create the same appearance. This option is most useful for Afro-Canadians and Orientals.
Some people with a crooked nose after trauma can be improved with fillers. Not all bent or twisted noses are helped. It’s the nose that is overall straight or near enough to the midline that the deviation isn’t appreciated, but has a bend in the middle. The very best indication is a depressed sidewall while the other side has remained straight.The procedure is less expensive initially. It can be done awake without local anesthetic or sedation. It can be done right in the office. There is no preparation, thus avoiding scheduling, seeing your family doctor, blood work, fasting after midnight. Also there is no recovery time. People can literally return straight back to work that day. The accuracy of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is significantly better. Predicable results of 0.1mm can be achieved, compared to a millimeter with rhinoplasty. Another advantage is the ability to monitor the changes as they are happening. The surgeon can easily stop, hand his patient a mirror and together decide the next step. Finally in the event the result isn’t what was anticipated, over time it goes away.

Thank you for your question about non-surgical nose job.Essentially a non-surgical nose job is the placement of filler in areas of void in the nose to create a balanced profile.  Often when there is a prominent dorsal hump of the nose, filler can be placed above and below the hump.  This smooths and evens the contour of the nasal bridge, and can often give the illusion of a smaller nose.  Fillers can also help raise the nasal tip a bit, when needed.  Non surgical nose job CANNOT reduce the actual size of the nose or fix any nasal airway obstructions.  One treatment is much less expensive than a surgical rhinoplasty, but it typically only lasts up to 2 years, and would need to be repeated to maintain the corrected appearance.


To be sure, 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.
