How Does A Non-Surgical Nose Job Work?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal filler injections to enhance the shape and appearance of the nose. Sometimes referred to as a liquid nose job, the procedure takes place totally in the office without anesthesia. It can help smooth unwanted humps on the nasal bridge and even elevate the nose tip slightly. Some patients may choose to get a nose filler before committing to undergoing a traditional rhinoplasty. Also, a non-surgical nose job will not correct a deviated septum. Either a separate septoplasty procedure or rhinoplasty will need to be performed to address the septum.

Nose Filler Options
Dr. Goldschmidt usually uses hyaluronic acid fillers for Cleveland non-surgical nose jobs. This improves the safety of the procedure and allows for the filler to be reversed. In select cases, Dr. Goldschmidt may inject semi-permanent fillers into the nose. Though, this is rare and if a patient is looking for a much longer lasting result then they may consider a surgical nose job.
The two hyaluronic acid fillers used during the procedure include Restylane and Juvederm. Both can work well as nose fillers and Dr. Goldschmidt will make a recommendation based on the patient’s goals and needs.
Restylane
Restylane fillers consist of many options for a non-surgical nose job. Some of the Restylane fillers frequently used to enhance the nose includes:
- Restylane Lyft: Using Restylane’s NASHA© technology, Restylane Lyft offers firmer results than other fillers. This mimics the natural feel of the nose bridge and helps keep the filler in place. It is perfect for precise injections into areas that do not need to feel soft. For example, Restylane Lyft is also frequently used for chin augmentation, hand rejuvenation, and cheek augmentation.
- Restylane Defyne: Restylane Defyne—in contrast to Restylane Lyft—is slightly more malleable and integrates itself into the tissues. This allows patients to still make normal expressions while enjoying the results of the filler. Restylane Defyne is also used for chin augmentation and filling lines such as the nasolabial folds.
Juvederm
Juvederm is another hyaluronic acid filler options. It is not as commonly used in the nose because it attracts more water and can cause the nose to look much bigger than it should. Though, certain Juvederm fillers do work well in the nose.
- Juvederm Voluma: Out of all Juvederm filler, Juvederm Voluma attracts the least amount of water. It also is one of the longest lasting hyaluronic acid fillers currently on the market. Juvederm Voluma is also frequently used in the cheeks and chin.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Surgery
How Long Does A Non-Surgical Nose Job Last?
On average, a non-surgical nose job is said to last one year. However, many patients have seen their results last double that time frame. While it is not permanent like a rhinoplasty surgery this allows patients not to commit to a single look. Patients can also choose to have the filler dissolved at any time.
Will The Nose Look Bigger After A Non-Surgical Nose Job?
Not necessarily. While some people may want their nose (or part of their nose) to look bigger, many want to make their nose smaller. For people who want to augment a part of their nose, non-surgical rhinoplasty is ideal. Even patients who want their noses to look smaller, can sometimes benefit from a non-surgical nose job because balancing out the proportions of the nose can make the nose look small due to having more balanced features overall.
How Painful Is Nose Filler?
Normally, the injections are not too painful. Dr. Goldschmidt may apply a topical anesthetic such as numbing cream to dull the sensation of the injections. Additionally, nearly all dermal fillers have a small amount of lidocaine in their formulas which helps reduce pain during and after the procedure.
What Is Aftercare For Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
The aftercare for a non-surgical rhinoplasty is much less involved than a surgical nose job. With that said, Dr. Goldschmidt will still provide some aftercare instructions to ensure patients see optimal non-surgical rhinoplasty results and to address possible minor side effects. Some of these directions may include:
- Sleep on your back at least the first night after the procedure
- Elevate the head of the bed slightly if experiencing swelling
- Only massage the filler if Dr. Goldschmidt instructs you to do so
- Keep nose out of the sun and wear strong SPF sunscreen
- Do not expose the area to extreme hot or cold temperatures
- Limit physical activity for one to two days
- Do not drink or smoke
- Avoid any nonprescription blood thinning agents
- Wear contacts for a few weeks if you require vision correction
- Avoid applying makeup or anything but gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen for the first 24 hours
How Much Is A Non-Surgical Nose Job?
The cost of a non-surgical nose job in Cleveland will vary based on the type of filler used, experience of the provider, and technicality of the procedure. The average cost of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is about $1,200. Financing is available through Care Credit and United Medical Credit.
