Non-Surgical Nose Job: How Long Do the Results Last?

If the appearance of your nose has always bothered you, then it’s likely you’ve considered undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure – otherwise known as a nose job.  During this procedure, a plastic surgeon can reshape and modify the nose to create more balanced proportions with your facial features, or to correct any irregular shaping.  

While a rhinoplasty procedure does have a high satisfaction rate, there are many clients out there who may be cautious about going under the knife.  These patients might not like the idea of taking time off for recovery, or the thought of undergoing anesthesia.  For these people, a non-surgical nose job might be the best solution.

What’s a Non-Surgical Nose Job?

A non –surgical nose job is exactly what it sounds like – a nose job that doesn’t require anesthesia, incisions, or extensive recovery time.  Instead, a plastic surgeon uses hyaluronic acid fillers – such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Radiesse – to subtly shape and correct the nose.  Since hyaluronic acid creates volume, an experienced plastic surgeon can use this effect to create a much more balanced and natural-looking nose.

For many patients, one of the biggest benefits to the non-surgical nose job is that it can be much less expensive than the traditional rhinoplasty procedure.  

How Long Do Results Last?

It’s worth nothing that results aren’t permanent, unlike those you’d get with a traditional rhinoplasty.  The effects from hyaluronic acid fillers last between 12 to 24 months depending on the specific product injected; therefore, you’ll need to make regular appointments with your plastic surgeon to maintain the new look and shape of your nose.

Ultimately, the choice between a rhinoplasty and non-surgical nose job can be a personal one.  For patients who don’t want to go through surgery, the non-surgical nose job can present an ideal solution.  Patients who don’t want to go through regular touch-ups will find a rhinoplasty procedure to be the best option.
