Non Surgical Nose Jobs

The filler molecule is hyaluronic acid that is pre-mixed with the numbing solution (lignocaine), so the filler injection will numb the area it is injected into. We will also apply strong numbing cream one hour before the procedure, and in most instances use a cannula technique, all of these steps will make the procedure relatively painless.

Most patients don’t experience swelling after the injection. Similarly, most patients will not have much bruising after the procedure.

While the procedure is quite safe, the occasional patient might get a bit of swelling or bruising, that generally fades over a few days. We do encourage our filler patients to take Arnica pills and cream to reduce swelling and bruising. In the rarest of rare cases, the filler injection can inadvertently enter a small blood vessel under the skin, while it is an extremely rare side effect, experienced injectors will know how to avoid it and also will use an Hyalase enzyme injection to dissolve the filler molecule, thus reversing the side-effects in most cases. This makes hyaluronic acid dermal fillers one of the safest volumizing injections available.

The dermal fillers we prefer in non-surgical nose jobs are  Juvéderm Voluma, Juvéderm Volift.

Unlike the need for downtime after a surgical rhinoplasty, the results of the non-surgical nose job are instantaneous, which makes the whole procedure very gratifying.

There are several variables that determine the longevity of this procedure, these are volume used, the filler used, nature of the skin envelope. In general, our advice is that the result will stay stable from 8 months to 18 months, however, we tell our patients not to wait for the results to go before considering a top-up, as the longevity increases after each top-up.

The price of a non-surgical nose job will vary with the filler used and can range from 300 to 600 GBP.

The dermal filler molecule we use is cross-linked hyaluronic acid, this is the synthetic type of sugar that occurs naturally in our skin. The molecule is supplied through syringes in the form of a particulate or smooth gel. In the nose this gel is injected to volumize areas that are deficient, thus correcting nose shape.

No, these procedures are not permanent, the results will gradually fade out over months to years.
