What is Nose Filler?
If you could change the shape of your nose without surgery, would you? With new technology and improvements made with fillers (injectables), now you can!
Although no one can argue with the superior results and permanency that surgery can afford a patient who seeks a surgical rhinoplasty, surgery is not for everyone. Some people prefer not to have surgery for health reasons, apprehension towards surgery, inability to afford the downtime or the cost, or simply because they are not sure they want a permanent result. A non-surgical rhinoplasty could be your answer.
Of course, there are limitations to what a non-surgical rhinoplasty can accomplish. It cannot make a nose smaller, but it can create a better balance between the bridge and the tip of the nose to make it more aesthetically pleasing. It cannot improve on breathing problems, and it cannot mask major septal deviations, which needs to be accomplished surgically. Furthermore, a non-surgical rhinoplasty is a temporary procedure lasting about six to 24 months, depending on the type of filler used. This may be repeated, or the patient may elect to have a surgical rhinoplasty for more permanent results.
How does Nose Filler work?
Nose filler, or non-surgical rhinoplasty, involves the injection of dermal fillers, typically containing hyaluronic acid, into specific areas of the nose to reshape and enhance its appearance. The procedure is designed to address certain aesthetic concerns without the need for surgery. The hyaluronic acid in the filler attracts and retains moisture, adding volume and structure to the injected areas. This can be strategically applied to smooth out bumps, lift the nasal tip, or correct asymmetries, providing a temporary but effective improvement in the nose’s overall appearance.
How is the treatment administered?
Nose filler treatments are typically administered by a qualified practitioner using either a fine needle or a cannula. The choice between the two depends on factors such as the individual’s anatomy, the specific areas being addressed, and the practitioner’s preference. Fine needles allow for precise injections, making them suitable for detailed work such as refining the nasal tip or smoothing out specific areas along the bridge. Alternatively, a cannula, a thin, flexible tube with a blunt tip, might be used to thread through the skin to reach various areas with fewer entry points, potentially reducing the risk of bruising and trauma.
The injections are strategically placed in specific regions of the nose, such as the bridge, tip, or other targeted areas based on the individual’s cosmetic goals. By adding volume and contouring with hyaluronic acid-based fillers, the practitioner can achieve the desired aesthetic improvements.
Side effects
Nose filler treatments, while generally considered safe, can be associated with potential side effects that individuals should be aware of. Common and temporary side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically resolve within a few days to a week.
In rare cases, more serious complications such as infection, asymmetry, or vascular compromise (rare instances where blood supply to the area is affected) may occur. This highlights the importance of choosing a skilled and experienced practitioner with expertise in facial aesthetics to minimize risks and achieve optimal results.

This is because the dermal filler is still very malleable and the pressure of the glasses can damage where the dermal filler has been injected.
