Most people associate the term “nose job” with an invasive surgical procedure that involves a significant amount of discomfort and recovery time. And until recently, this surgery was the only option available for people who were unhappy with the shape and size of their nose.
But now, OMNI SCULPT MD in Dallas, TX is able to offer a non-surgical nose job option for people who don’t want to undergo surgery or who only need minor modifications to their nose’s shape and appearance. We use injectable dermal fillers to bring a more balanced look to your nose without the need for incisions or a long recovery time.
In this blog, we’ll explore what a non-surgical nose job is and how it works, the benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty vs. traditional surgical rhinoplasty, who would be a good candidate for non-surgical nose reshaping, and what to expect when you come to OMNI SCULPT MD for a non-surgical nose job.
What is a Non-Surgical Nose Job?
A non-surgical nose job – also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or a “liquid rhinoplasty” – is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that reshapes and enhances the appearance of the nose with the skillful injection of dermal fillers. The dermal fillers subtly alter the shape, size, and contour of the nose to refine and rebalance its appearance in a natural-looking way without the commitment, cost, discomfort, or downtime of a surgical nose job.
How Does a Non-Surgical Nose Job Work?
A non-surgical nose job is performed by injecting hyaluronic acid-based fillers into strategic locations of the nose in order to remove imperfections by enhancing the size, shape, symmetry, and contour of those parts of the nose. The fillers work by integrating with the surrounding tissues in the nose and attracting water molecules, creating volume and hydration. The fillers’ gel-like consistency allows them to fill in wrinkles, folds, and depressions in the nose, giving it a smoother, more symmetrical appearance. Hyaluronic acid fillers also provide structural support to the skin, helping to lift and contour the areas of the nose they are injected into.
Common areas targeted during a non-surgical nose job include:
- Bridge of the Nose – Fillers may be injected along the bridge of the nose to address bumps, irregularities, or asymmetry. By strategically adding volume to the bridge, the fillers can help create a smoother and straighter nasal profile.
- Tip of the Nose – Fillers can be injected into the tip of the nose to lift and refine its appearance. This technique is often used to address a drooping or downturned tip, creating a more uplifted and defined nasal profile.
- Alar Base – The alar base is the area where the nostrils meet the cheeks. Fillers may be injected into the alar base to reduce nostril flaring or to narrow the appearance of wide nostrils.
Everyone’s nose is a bit different, as are everyone’s aesthetic goals, so the areas targeted for a non-surgical nose job can vary from procedure to procedure.
How Long Does a Non-Surgical Nose Job Last?
It’s important to note that unlike a traditional surgical nose job, a non-surgical nose job will not last forever – it’s a temporary procedure. The length of time a non-surgical nose job will last can vary depending on what type of dermal filler is used and how fast the patient’s body metabolizes it.
Typically, a non-surgical nose job can last in the range of 18 months, but again, results can vary from person to person.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty vs. Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a very popular procedure in Dallas, TX because of the many benefits it offers over traditional surgical rhinoplasty. Some of these benefits include:
No Downtime – Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, which can require a significant amount of downtime for recovery, non-surgical nose jobs typically have no downtime. Patients can often resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure, making it a much more convenient option.
Minimally Invasive – Non-surgical nose jobs do not involve incisions or anesthesia, reducing both the risk of complications and the time needed to recover.
Fast Results – Results of a non-surgical nose job are visible immediately after the procedure, with minimal swelling or bruising.
Reversibility – If you are unhappy with the results of your non-surgical rhinoplasty, we can use an injectable solution to dissolve the dermal filler and reverse the effects.
Who Is a Good Candidate For A Non-Surgical Nose Job?
Anyone who feels that some aspect of their nose detracts from the overall appearance of their face can be a good candidate for a non-surgical nose job. You may want to consider this procedure if you:
- Are unhappy with a slight bump on the bridge of your nose
- Your nose has a drooping tip
- Your nose is slightly crooked
- Your nose has unattractive depressions
- Your nose is asymmetrical
- The tip of your nose lacks definition
It is important to note that a non-surgical nose job can only add volume to certain areas of the nose. It cannot reduce the nose’s size, change its structure, improve functional problems like breathing difficulty or nasal congestion, or correct significant irregularities like large humps, severe asymmetry, or scarring.
What to Expect from a Non-Surgical Nose Job at OMNI-SCULPT MD in Dallas, TX
As with every procedure involving dermal fillers at OMNI SCULPT MD in Dallas, TX, the non-surgical nose job procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Louis DeGironemo, our double board-certified physician and expert in facial anatomy.
Dr. D will perform a thorough analysis of your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if a non-surgical nose job is the right procedure for you.
If you are a good candidate for a non-surgical nose job, Dr. D will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored just for you. He will recommend specific areas of the nose to treat, the optimal fillers to use, and the dosage that will produce the best results.
After your consultation, Dr. DeGironemo will carefully inject dermal fillers into strategic areas of your nose, reducing the appearance of imperfections and giving it a more balanced, symmetrical appearance to bring out the overall beauty of your face. The complete process usually only takes about 45 minutes to complete.
Some minor swelling, redness, bruising, and bleeding is normal after the non-surgical nose job procedure. Most of these issues should subside within a day or two. If you are more susceptible to bruising, recovery may take a bit longer, but should still be minimal. You won’t require any time off from work or other activities to recover.
Results should be visible immediately after treatment, so you’ll get to enjoy your newly enhanced appearance quickly. You can see some of the results we’ve been able to achieve in our Nose Filler Before and After Gallery.
