Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a good option for men and women who are looking to refine their nose shape without having to resort to surgery. Whether to correct asymmetry or a potential bump to create a smoother profile, non-surgical rhiinoplasty can help you achieve the facial aesthetic you desire. As an outpatient procedure at Glow Med Spa, it provides natural-looking results with minimal potential for downtime, and this procedure can be completed in just a few minutes.

Overview of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty helps you sculpt a more balanced nose without resorting to surgery. Rather than cutting the skin to add implants as other rhinoplasty surgeries may require, this procedure relies on dermal fillers such as JUVEDERM® or Restylane® to add volume and structure to the nose.

Also referred to as a liquid nose job, this procedure is ideal for correcting imperfections such as:

Drooping nasal tip
Dorsal humps
Shallow nasal bridge
Mild nose asymmetries

The filler is chosen based on your desired results. For example, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are ideal for subtle corrections while being reversible. On the other hand, if you have tried liquid nose jobs before and you want longer-lasting results, then calcium hydroxylapatite fillers are a better choice.

The procedure is not suitable for patients who want a smaller nose size. Additionally, non-surgical rhinoplasty is only intended for aesthetic purposes. This means that it won’t help with significant asymmetry or breathing problems.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty comes with the following advantages:

Little to No Downtime

A non-surgical procedure involves no cutting. Only a small needle is used to gently break the skin. The discomfort is minimal and fades quickly, with most patients returning to their routine on the same day. All you have to do is avoid putting pressure on your nose for the next few days (e.g., wearing sunglasses).

Potentially Reversible

Unlike surgical nose jobs, whose results cannot be undone, non-surgical rhinoplasties are reversible. Most fillers used in these procedures are based on hyaluronic acid, which is easily dissolved with hyaluronidase. This makes the procedure a good alternative for those who have never had a nose job before and aren’t sure how they’ll look with the extra volume.

No Scarring

Since there’s no incisions or stitches required for this procedure, there’s no risk of scarring either. The procedure will leave a few temporary marks where the needle pierced the skin, but these will fade like any other injection. Once the redness goes away, no one should be able to notice that you’ve had your nose done.

Customizable Option

Augmentation and reduction rhinoplasty are effective for correcting the shape of your nose, but you can’t see the results until it heals. If the swelling conceals an issue, you’ll have to go through the procedure all over again. However, with liquid rhinoplasty, any adjustments are made on the spot. You can see how it looks immediately, and you can also tell your provider right away if something feels or appears off.

Pre-Treatment and Comfort

The procedure is well-tolerated by most patients, especially as HA fillers have lidocaine integrated into the formula. We can administer topical numbing cream upon request if you are sensitive to needles.

While we cleanse the target area before the procedure, we advise that you arrive with the skin free of makeup and SPF. It’s best that you also avoid ibuprofen or alcohol 24 to 48 hours before the procedure to keep bruising to a minimum.

What to Expect During and After Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

We personalize non-surgical rhinoplasties based on the patient’s goals, but some of the steps are standard. This is to reduce potential complications as much as possible and to offer optimal results. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation

We will assess your nose from multiple angles and look for bumps or asymmetry. Afterward, we will discuss your aesthetic goals with you and determine if liquid rhinoplasty is the correct choice.

Injection

After cleansing the skin, we will administer the filler in the target area(s) using a fine needle. We will inject it in small amounts right beneath the skin. The amount of filler administered depends on your goals and facial anatomy. The entire procedure should not take more than 15 to 30 minutes.

Recovery

Side effects are short-lived when compared to what you would experience with a surgical rhinoplasty. Expect some mild tenderness, swelling, or redness over the next one to three days. It’s best that you avoid glasses or anything that could put pressure on your nose for the next couple of days, until the filler settles.

Results

The gel in the dermal fillers offers immediate results. You should see the effects in about one or two weeks, and these results can last from six to 18 months, depending on the filler that you use.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a cosmetic procedure using dermal fillers—like hyaluronic acid—to reshape the nose without surgery, incisions, or anesthesia.
Fillers are carefully injected to add volume, smooth bumps, lift the tip, or camouflage minor irregularities by altering contours.
Ideal for those in good health with realistic expectations seeking minor refinements—not reduction or airway correction.

Pre-Treatment and Comfort
Clients should steer clear of harsh skincare products such as exfoliants, acids, and retinoids for at least a week pre-treatment. These sensitize the skin and can lead to more irritation after the procedure.
The Cosmelan® treatment is well-tolerated by most people and requires no anesthesia. That said, a topical numbing cream can be applied upon request if your skin is particularly sensitive.

What to Expect During and After Cosmelan®?

Cosmelan® treatments are customized based on your skin’s needs and long-term goals. That said, our providers keep some steps standard for consistency, effectiveness, and safety. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation

We’ll discuss your goals and come up with a personalized treatment plan. Our providers will take into account your skin sensitivities and concerns, along with your history with hyperpigmentation.

Area Prepping

Our providers will cleanse the skin using gentle products to ensure there’s no dirt or lingering makeup left. This way, there won’t be a barrier between the skin and the product.

Mask Application

We will apply the mask evenly on the target area, depending on your needs. The solution will stay there for a few minutes until it dries sufficiently, after which you can go home. The solution remains on your skin for the next eight to 12 hours, after which you can remove it with a gentle facial cleanser and lukewarm water.

Home Treatment Instructions

You’ll be given the instructions on how to properly apply the Cosmelan® 2 cream and other products. This lets you reach optimal results without delay, with your skin gradually brightening with every application.

Recovery

Expect some mild redness over the next five to seven days, along with some dryness and a slight warming sensation. These effects are a sign that the mask is doing its job and has begun removing the damaged layers of the skin. Use a gentle moisturizer and avoid exfoliating products for the time being. Broad-spectrum sunblock is not just recommended, but essential.

Results

The timeline for the results depends on your level of pigmentation. Most clients notice significant improvement after two to three weeks, but the skin quality keeps improving over the next few months. Use the Cosmelan® 2 cream every day for best results.
