Good candidates are individuals looking to correct minor nose imperfections without undergoing surgery. It is ideal for those who want to smooth out bumps, enhance the tip, or correct asymmetry without changing the nose’s overall structure.

The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. It’s often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure” because it’s quick and requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities almost immediately.

During the procedure, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort. Dermal fillers are then injected into specific areas of the nose to achieve the desired shape and contour. The process is relatively painless and quick.

The results of non-surgical rhinoplasty usually last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors like metabolism. Periodic touch-ups are needed to maintain the desired appearance.

Common side effects include minor swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, which typically subside within a few days. Rare complications can include infection, filler migration, or allergic reactions, but these are uncommon when performed by experienced professionals.

Recovery from non-surgical rhinoplasty is minimal. Most patients experience slight swelling and redness, which subside within a few days. Normal activities can be resumed immediately, although it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for a day or two.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty cannot correct functional issues like a deviated septum. It is purely a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the nose’s appearance. For structural problems, traditional rhinoplasty is required.

After the procedure, avoid touching or applying pressure to your nose, strenuous exercise, and exposure to excessive heat for a day or two. Following post-treatment care instructions will help ensure the best results and reduce the risk of complications.
