Non Surgical Rhinoplasty: What Is It & How Long Does It Last?

Non Surgical Rhinoplasty: What Is It &Amp; How Long Does It Last?

A non surgical rhinoplasty is a non-invasive treatment used to adjust the appearance of the nose using targeted applications of dermal filler. This ‘liquid’ rhinoplasty can smooth out dorsal humps, enhance the shape of the nasal tip or improve the height of your nasal bridge, typically for a period of 12-24 months.

This article will explore non surgical rhinoplasty in more detail, helping to answer some of the most important questions people have about the treatment and its effects and longevity.

At the CREO Clinic our doctor-led aesthetic team specialises in the application of dermal filler to create natural-looking results, working hard to ensure artful adjustments to the nose that look natural and help improve its shape and profile.

What Is A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Sometimes known as a liquid rhinoplasty, a non surgical rhinoplasty involves the precision application of hyaluronic acid facial fillers to adjust the size and shape of the nose. An Aesthetic Doctor will make an assessment of the best way to achieve your desired nose, then inject dermal filler into different nasal zones, such as the bridge or tip, to adjust them appropriately.

How Long Does A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty Last?

The longevity of non surgical rhinoplasty results can vary from person-to-person, but in the experience of our aesthetic team, the effects last between 12-24 months. After this point, ‘top up’ injections will be needed to maintain the effects. If no maintenance injections are performed, the hyaluronic acid filler naturally breaks down and is absorbed by the body.

The Difference Between Surgical & Non Surgical Rhinoplasties

PriceIssues treated Length of downtime
Liquid rhinoplasty Starts at £690Nasal bumps, nasal bridge or tipNo downtime required 
Surgical rhinoplasty Between £7000-1000 on average Nasal bumps, nasal bridge or tip, deviated septum or injury repair Between 6-8 weeks

Benefits of a Non Surgical Rhinoplasty

Minimally Invasive Procedure

A non surgical rhinoplasty requires only injections, which means no incisions are necessary and the treatment requires no downtime. The surgical alternative requires weeks of downtime for incisions to heal and inflammation to subside, and will create some permanent scarring.

Instant, Natural Looking Results

A crucial benefit of non surgical rhinoplasty is that its effects are immediate, so you can see the adjustments to the shape or size of your nose straight away. When performed by an experienced practitioner, the effects are noticeable but also natural-looking, so the transformation of your nose will feel in tune with the proportion and contours of your face.

Affordable & Accessible

Surgical rhinoplasty can often cost between £7000-£10,000 in the UK, so the cost of non surgical rhinoplasty (starting from £690 at the CREO Clinic) is significantly less without compromising on the quality of results. The treatment can be performed quickly and painlessly with minimal disruption to your routine and social life.

Drawbacks of a Non Surgical Rhinoplasty 

Temporary Results

The results of a liquid rhinoplasty tend to last between 12-24 months, compared to the permanent effects achieved by surgical rhinoplasty. After the filler begins to break down, maintenance injections will be necessary.

Many patients prefer a liquid rhinoplasty precisely because the results are temporary.  Temporary results allow patients to ‘try out’ an adjustment to the nose – hyaluronic acid fillers can be adjusted using filler dissolver, or patients can simply wait for their body to break down the filler and allow their nose to return to its original shape.

Limited Scope of Treatment

While non surgical rhinoplasty can address many aesthetic issues, such as prominent bumps, asymmetry or a drooping nasal tip, it may not be suitable for more complicated issues involving the structure of the nose such as physical damage or a deviated septum. A non surgical procedure also cannot reduce the size of your nose.

Non Surgical Rhinoplasty FAQs

How Long Does A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty Take To Heal?

There is minimal downtime from a non surgical rhinoplasty, and most patients find themselves able to return to work the same day, although they should follow some recovery steps to ensure the best results.

Is A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty Reversible?

Yes, a non surgical rhinoplasty can be reversed using filler dissolver – this breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler and restores your nose to its original shape and size.

Who Is Eligible For A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Patients who are in good physical and psychological health who want to adjust minor imperfections on their nose – such as nasal bridge bumps or drooping of the nasal tip – will be good candidates for a liquid rhinoplasty. It is also an excellent treatment for patients who want to avoid significant downtime or permanence of a surgical rhinoplasty.
