Non Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non Surgical Rhinoplasty
with Dr Melissa Fitzgerald
The nose is one of the most central parts of our face. If seemingly out of place or too large or an odd shape it may detract from our natural beauty and for many it’s something that they would love to correct.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a medical procedure in which injectable fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid ones like Restylane and Juvederm or calcium hydroxyapatite, are used to alter and shape the nose, without invasive surgery.
Q: What are the benefits of a Non Surgical Nose Shaping or a Non Surgical ‘Nose Job’ ?
A Non Surgical nose job can be used to improve the shape of the tip of the nose and bridge where surgery is not desired or following a rhinoplasty to correct main deformities or issues.
Small deformities can easily be corrected in this safe and effective treatment under local anaesthetic in an out-patient setting at either of our clinic locations.
Q: What is 'fixable' or enhanceable?
Non surgical nose reshaping can be performed on any patient who wishes to improve the appearance of the nose but does not want a surgical Rhinoplasty.
However, a large nose cannot be made smaller, although a bump or hump on the bridge can be smoothed out using this procedure. A Non surgical nose job is ideally suited for refining the nose or correcting small areas, lumps or dips where they affect the general look of the nose.
Q: Is there any downtime?
Patients can go back to their normal activities after 2 days. You should avoid pressure on the nose for 5 days, so for example, avoid sleeping on the front or side. Minimal bruising may occur which usually resolves in 5 – 7 days. The nose may be tender for 3 – 5 days following treatment.
Q: How long do the results last?
The results of will last from 6 to 18 months in general. Treatment with Juvederm will last from 6 to 12 months while treatment using Radiesse is expected to last from 12 to 18 months.
