What Can I Expect After a Nonsurgical Nose Job?

Nonsurgical Nose Job FAQ
What kind of cosmetic injections are used for a nonsurgical nose job?
For most nonsurgical rhinoplasty treatments, Dr. Dauwe utilizes injectable dermal fillers to add volume to certain areas of the nose. This can be effective in changing the look of the tip of the nose, as well as evening out the shape of the nose. Additionally, dermal fillers can help hide unwanted bumps and indentations in the nose.
How long does a nonsurgical nose job last?
The exact length of your results may vary depending on which type of dermal filler was used for your treatment. However, most dermal fillers last anywhere from 3 – 6 months. During your initial consultation with Dr. Dauwe and his team, they will talk with you about your expected results and what dermal filler may be best to meet your unique needs.
When will my results be visible?
Some initial results from your nonsurgical nose job can be noticeable right away; however, optimal results may take about 2 – 4 weeks to appear. As the swelling and redness dissipate over time, you will begin to experience your desirable outcome. Dr. Dauwe will also provide the necessary treatment options to ensure your best results.
What can't I do after nonsurgical rhinoplasty?
After your nonsurgical nose job, you should not use any blood-thinning medication (such as ibuprofen or aspirin for example), and should not place anything on your face (including glasses where able) for about 10 hours after injection to allow the fillers to settle. You may also be asked to avoid strenuous activities and direct sunlight for about 24 hours.
How can I help my recovery process?
While recovery is generally minimal for this procedure, there are a few things you can do to encourage a smooth recovery process. This could include:
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling
- Stay upright for 3 – 4 hours after treatment
- Sleep with your head elevated the night of your procedure
What are the downfalls of a nonsurgical nose job?
Because this procedure uses dermal fillers to increase the volume in the nose, it cannot be used to create a smaller nose. If you are looking for a procedure in which you can narrow your nose or create a smaller appearance, our team can help you find a treatment alternative that might be right for you.
