Nose Re-shaping
What Is Nonsurgical Nose Reshaping?
Nonsurgical nose reshaping is a minimally invasive procedure that uses facial volume treatments or similar materials to adjust the contour of the nose without surgery.
This procedure may be considered by individuals who want to:
- Create a smoother nasal bridge
- Adjust the shape or height of the nasal tip
- Minimise the appearance of small irregularities or asymmetries
- Refine certain areas after a previous surgical rhinoplasty
The treatment does not reduce the size of the nose or correct functional issues such as breathing difficulties. It is focused only on making subtle changes to the shape and appearance of the nose.
Why This Procedure Might Be Considered
Some individuals may choose nonsurgical nose reshaping because it:
- Does not require surgery or general anaesthesia
- Generally has little to no downtime, with many people returning to normal activities soon after treatment
- Offers temporary results, which may be helpful for those wanting to trial changes before considering surgery
- Can be adjusted or reversed in some cases, depending on the injectable used
The treatment duration is usually around 30 minutes, but this can vary depending on the individual and the complexity of the procedure.
What to Expect After the Procedure
- Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the treatment site and usually resolves within a few days.
- Results are not permanent and typically last for several months to two years, depending on the type of injectable used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.
- Follow-up treatments will be required to maintain the effect over time.
Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare instructions to help manage swelling and reduce the risk of complications.
Risks and Considerations
All medical procedures carry some level of risk.
Possible risks of nonsurgical nose reshaping may include:
- Swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site
- Bruising
- Uneven results or asymmetry
- Infection
- Rare but serious complications, such as vascular compromise
Your practitioner will discuss these potential risks in detail during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for you.
