You may have heard of non-surgical rhinoplasty  . Non-surgical rhinoplasty  is actually a dermal filler procedure that changes the shape of your nose for up to 6 months.

This procedure is ideal for people who want to soften the bumps in their noses or look less angular but are not ready for a permanent solution or are concerned about the risks and recovery time involved in a traditional rhinoplasty.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to change the shape of your nose.

A gel-like injectable ingredient (usually hyaluronic acid) is added under your skin in areas where you want to create smoother lines or volume.

The filler settles where it is injected into your deeper skin layers and retains its shape. This can change the appearance of your nose from 4 months to 3 years, depending on your skin, the results you want and the ingredients used.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is quite simple , especially when compared to surgical  rhinoplasty  .

After a consultation in which you discuss your desired results, your doctor will have you lie down with your face up. A topical anesthetic may have been applied to and around your nose so you don't feel pain from the needle.

After the anesthetic has taken effect, your doctor will inject the filler into the area around your nose and perhaps the bridge of your nose itself. You may feel a slight pinching or pressure as this is done.

The whole process can take 15 minutes or less to 45 minutes.
